Perfect Vendor for a Beautiful, Personalized Wedding

It was such a joy to work with Allison, and I definitely recommend her work to make your wedding extra special.

When I first met Allison, I was feeling very anxious because I put my wedding together in just 3.5 months. I was worried I was doing everything wrong since I hadn’t started planning a year in advance. But Allison immediately put me at ease, reassuring me that everything would be fine (and of course, it was in the end!).

We then worked on the designs for my wedding signs, menus, and table numbers. She truly captured the rustic barn atmosphere with flowers and an intimate ceremony vibe that I was aiming for. Most importantly, because she pays such great attention to detail and puts so much care into her work, every piece she created shone with heart, exactly what I wanted to share with my guests.

Allison also designed a special sign featuring my wedding venue, which I will treasure forever, especially since the venue is no longer hosting weddings (at least for the time being). When I saw everything come together in the reception hall—the flowers, menus, candles, champagne glasses—I was nearly in tears because, not even in my wildest dreams, did I imagine it would turn out so beautifully.

The only regret I have is not having met Allison sooner so that I could have asked her to design my wedding invitations as well. I also want to emphasize that Allison works quickly, is extremely responsive, and made the process of receiving all our pieces so easy. You’ll be incredibly grateful not to have to worry about an unresponsive vendor amidst everything else going on.

For anyone who loves art and beauty, and wants to avoid the generic wedding look at all costs, you won’t regret this investment. I promise!

Made my wedding invitation dreams come true

I stumbled over Allison when I was looking for inspiration photos that would help me explain my vision to various artists. Going through her instagram, I never would've dreamed that I could actually get the vendor from my inspo photos, nevermind afford her.

But sometimes, all the stars align. When I met with Allison, I already knew she could do the work. I was pleasantly surprised (so was my planner!) when her pricing was the best of anyone I talked to. Additionally, when I said I wanted to just send one card (no RSVP, registry, map, etc) she said okay, no problem. We worked out where to put the call to action/deadline and other pieces. She was the ONLY vendor that didn't try to talk me to into something I didn't want. So decision made, I put in a deposit.

And then the invitations showed up and I was BLOWN away. I'm still getting compliments as to how incredible the invitations were. I have saved several and Allison is currently working on our thank you notes.

If you have a watercolor invitation dream, hire her.

Custom Watercolor Wedding Paper

Allison created beautiful watercolor invitations and day-of paper (e.g. drink signs, programs, menus, etc.) for our August wedding. We knew we wanted an invitation suite that was unique and custom to our wedding and not something cookie cutter. She brought our vision to life, and it was fun to see the designs evolve through multiple design reviews, from sketch to full watercolor. We got a ton of compliments on all of it and some family members even framed our invitation they loved it so much. Allison was easy to communicate with and was a good listener throughout the process. Highly recommend using Allison for all of your wedding paper needs!

Absolutely Stunning Wedding Suite

Working with Allison was a dream! She captured our vision so perfectly and her attention to detail created the most amazing paper suite for our wedding. We're getting married at the college where we met and wanted our invitations to capture the magic of the campus and Allison's designs did just that--her paintings embodied the true essence of the campus and wowed our guests. She was so flexible, quick to respond, and helpful that it made this part of our wedding planning stress free. The unique and personal touches have made this one of my favorite parts of my wedding planning experience. If you're looking for an artist to create personalized wedding invitations that exceed your expectations, you need to use Allison!

Absolutely incredible

From the start, working with hand painted weddings was so easy and she worked so hard to make everything perfect for me. Our save the dates and invitations were absolutely beautiful and everything I wanted them to be. I can’t say enough good things about her and how hard she worked to bring my vision to life. Our guests raved about our save the dates and invitations. We have them framed in our house as a keepsake from our day.

Amazing Art and Attention to Detail

Working with Allison made our wedding invitation suite so special, with gorgeous custom paintings of our venue, florals, and a crest with our three cats. In addition to being a talented artist, Allison is also organized and responsive, with clear communication throughout the process. Her attention to detail was a huge asset, and we highly recommend Hand-Painted Weddings!

Custom beautiful wedding invitations

We are forever grateful to Alison for bringing our vision of our wedding to life through our beautiful wedding invitations. We received so many compliments on our invitations and that was all thanks to Allison’s incredible talent. Her watercolor paintings of our wedding venue, Willow Creek Winery; Congress Hall Rehearsal and Welcome Party; Inn of Cape May wedding breakfast, and most importantly our golden retriever Leo were gorgeous. Alison was incredibly organized and so helpful on the additional elements we asked her to design. She created our table numbers; Signature Drink signage with our dog; napkin design with our dog; Welcome signage for both our Welcome Party and Day After Breakfast. There isn’t anything she can’t do when it comes to your design needs for your wedding.

Beautiful invitations!

We got so many compliments on our invitations/ day of paper and that was all thanks to Allison’s incredible talent. Her watercolor paintings of our venue, and our cat, were gorgeous. She’s also incredibly organized, and has a really helpful breakdown of costs so you can really understand what you’re paying for.

Stunning, original invitations and signage

All I can say is WOW. Allison curated the most stunning invitations and save-the-dates for us, transforming our vision beautifully into watercolor. We loved her work so much that we asked her to design a substantial portion of our wedding signage. She was so flexible when we had to postpone our wedding (and hence some of our signage projects) due to COVID, and made us some gorgeous "change the dates". I am a detail-oriented and Type A person with high standards for professionalism and punctuality - and she exceeded all of my expectations. If you want gorgeous, original invitations, signage or whatever you may need, go to Allison!!! You won't regret it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
