    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!

    Destination Wedding (Save the Dates)

    We started working with Allison in early December 2021 to design our destination wedding save the dates. Even with the holidays it only took a short month to complete the entire process. Allison is professional, responsive, detailed, considerate, open to new ideas and a master at her craft. Our Save the Dates are more than just what we asked for. They are beautiful. I would recommend ANYONE looking to create your dream wedding material to look no further than Allison. We will be using her again in the near future and sharing her information with everyone we know. You will not only be happy with your designs but trying to figure out where else you might be able to use her products.

    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.

    Simply Amazing!

    The map/schedule cards, are by far one of my favorite wedding items yet! I cannot recommend Hand-Painted Weddings, enough! I am truly blown away by Allison's artistic abilities and her creative design techniques. From the moment I started working with her, the process was so easy and well organized - through the many emails and pictures I sent her, she saw my vision and went with it. I'm truly blown away at her talent and cannot wait to work with her again!

    Amazed with Allison’s work!

    Allison made our wedding suite for invitations as well as custom menus and bar signage for the wedding. She was so easy to work with every step of the way! I was so impressed with the final product and it was exactly what we wanted!

    Most Fun Part of Wedding Planning!

    Working with Allison from Hand-Painted Weddings was so much fun! I had a few random ideas and she helped to bring them together so beautifully. She was awesome and timely with any tweaks I wanted to make along the way, and there was never any doubt that she could incorporate my latest idea. I couldn't wait for our guests to get them in the mail. I did quite a bit of research on custom invitations and in addition to her work appealing to me, her pricing structure is really fair and the package of offerings/information she provides from the start was really the most helpful that I found out there. Most fun part of the wedding planning process!

    I love my invitations!

    Working with Allison was a treat! She is extremely responsive and was very willing to work with me through all of my nit-picking at small details. I am in love with the way my invitations turned out and would highly recommend her to anyone thinking about doing custom watercolor invitations. Her designs are beatiful, unique, and really capture the tone we wanted to set for our guests! 6/5 stars!

    A Keepsake Wedding Invitation

    This review is long overdue, but it would be very remiss of us not to express our extreme gratitude for the beautifully hand-painted, one-of-a-kind wedding invitations that Allison created for our special day.

    From the moment I contacted Allison I knew I had found a talented artist to make my invitation vision come to life!

    My husband and I decided to have a small wedding with just our immediate families at our newly purchased home. We were looking to add some unique features to make our wedding day extra special. And so, we decided to commemorate our special wedding day by finding an artist to create a watercolor invitation featuring our new home/wedding venue.

    After doing extensive research, I contacted Allison and I am so glad I did! She exceeded all my expectations! Wedding planning on your own can be overwhelming, but Allison's process to making the invitations was thorough, simple and very pleasant. Not only was the process pleasant, but her communication and response time was impeccable!

    The design drafts she created for us were gorgeous. It was difficult to decide on one design, but after much debate, my husband and I decided on our design. I remember feeling so excited to share them with our families. I have to say, both of our families still have their invitations. They said that it was not just another wedding invitation but a piece of art, and I couldn't agree with them more! And so, I just had to get an 8 x 8 keepsake of our wedding day invitation to frame and display in our home.

    My hubsand and I absolutely loved working with Allison! I absolutely love her work and look forward to working with her in the future.

    Allison, thank you so much for making our wedding day invitations a treasured keepsake and for your beautiful hand-written and painted thank you card.

    Forever grateful,
    Jeanette and Michael

    Beautiful, custom-made invitations

    Even though we've had our printed invitations in hand for the past week, we were still absolutely stunned with how great they looked when everything was fully assembled and placed in the envelopes. We hand-delivered a few of them to nearby family, and some even cried when they opened the envelope!

    There's a lot of uncertainty in the weeks leading up to the wedding, but seeing how beautiful and refined our invitation suite is helped us feel like maybe this will all turn out alright after all. (At the very least, we're starting off on a very high note). Allison was thorough, easy to work with, and extremely communicative throughout the design + printing process. We're so happy we went with her for our invites—it's the best first impression our guests could possibly have.

    Beautiful stationery from the invitations to day-of!

    It was such a pleasure working with Allison on all the stationery for our wedding. I first reached out in 2019 pre-pandemic, to work together on our invitation designs. Allison responded very promptly and we had a call together to discuss everything I had in mind for the design. She really captured what we were trying to create, with a custom watercolor map, invitation, and timeline. We ended up needing to postpone our wedding but when the new date was set, I reached back out to Allison for her help on the day-of stationery. She also helped us in creating an edited version of the invitation with the correct date as a keepsake. She designed our menu, bar sign for custom cocktails, and even worked together with me so that we could have a ceremony program that also doubled as a fan for guests on the hot day. She always did a great job making adjustments to the design based on my feedback and we received all the items in great condition and on time. Being able to work together on all the items was also great since it made it easy and everything had a consistent design to it. I'd definitely recommend Allison to anyone looking for custom watercolor designs!!

    Amazing custom invitations

    Allison did such an amazing job with our custom invitations, detail cards, and thank you cards and was a such a pleasure to work with. From the samples we were able to order to the first Zoom call to delivery, she made the process of designing and ordering invitations virtually so incredibly easy. She responds to emails so quickly, sends constant updates and previews, has such an impressive turnaround time, and will work with you to make sure every detail is exactly to your liking. On top of that, the quality of her work is amazing. We have received so many compliments on our invitations from our guests and will be framing a copy for ourselves. Thank you, Allison, for creating beautiful pieces that we will treasure forever!

    Allison is a JOY to work with! She is so kind, helpful, and professional. Allison always responded quickly and was willing to create anything I asked. She exceeded all of my expectations! Her work is truly beautiful—it looks amazing in pictures online, but it looks even better in real life. You will not regret hiring Allison for your invitations or wedding day paper!

    Incredible Experience!

    Allison is absolutely incredible to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!! Not only is she amazingly talented, but she is so sweet and extremely prompt! I love decor and art, so my invitations were possibly the most exciting part of my wedding for me, planning-wise. She made my vision come true and kept to my timeline. I cannot recommend her enough, honestly one of the best vendors I’ve worked with this entire process! I will definitely be contacting her in the future for small projects and custom thank you cards to have on hand!

    Beautiful water color art, flexible collaboration, great execution!

    Allison created a wonderful anniversary gift for my wife and handled the whole project with great speed, artistic excellence, and professionalism. I reached out to her with some ideas for a commissioned painting, then she sent me a sketch to sign off on, and after just a few emails she nailed exactly what I wanted (a water color painting of Vermont’s mountains with a poem overplayed on top). I highly recommend Allison as a commissioned artist!

    The most beautiful wedding invitations & save the date

    I worked with Allison at Hand Painted Weddings to design custom save-the-dates and invitation suite for my destination wedding. The designs and custom paintings were absolutely beautiful and better than I could have imagined. After creating a pinterest board and having a quick concept phone call, Allison designed and painted a unique custom map of my wedding location, and then later created gorgeous invitations, reply cards, and info cards for the wedding invitation suite. I received TONS of compliments on the save-the-dates and invitations and really enjoyed the process of creating them. My husband and I will forever cherish the stationary and how much the designs embodied the spirit and beauty of our wedding.

    So. Much. Talent.

    SO. MUCH. TALENT. Allison is not only talented, she was also so kind, patient, and professional in all of my correspondences with her. I never met Allison, however she was able to capture our vision for what we wanted for our wedding day stationary (invitations, RSVP cards, details cards, seating chart, and welcome sign) like she was in my own head! Honestly, everything was more than I could have ever dreamt up on my own. Thank you doesn’t go far enough, Allison! We hope to work with you again someday for future events!

    Could not be happier

    Allison was a dream to work with. She is so talented, kind, and professional. I received SO many compliments on the beautiful save the dates she designed for me, and will definitely be returning to her for future custom orders.

    Hand-Painted Weddings's reply:

    It was such a pleasure! Painting your save-the-date for a Lake Como wedding was a dream! Such an honor to contribute to your wedding!
