Wedding Venue Illustrations and Paintings
Incorporating watercolor wedding venue illustrations is a trend we hope sticks around for a long while. This is such a fun and easy way to add serious personality to your stationery suite and often gives your guests the perfect surprise when they open their envelopes. We have several suggestions for fun way to incorporate these beautiful paintings. Which one would you love to try?
Wedding Venue Illustrations as Custom Invitation Artwork
Adding a painting of your venue to the top of your invitation is a really lovely way to up the level of personality on the invitation itself. Subtle watercolors and some simple line drawings keep the invitation classic while still adding a little something special. Another great option is to add a painting of your wedding venue to the back of the invitation. Because most invites are printed on 5x7 pieces of paper, they become instant frame-able artwork for your guests to keep long after your wedding day.
Watercolor Wedding Venue Illustrations as Envelope Liners
In my opinion, envelope liners are the most awesome little surprise for your guests. They’re already expecting a beautiful invitation inside, and when you tuck in that cute little extra pop of custom artwork, its like the icing on the cake. I love to coordinate the envelope color with the venue illustration so that the whole suite feels cohesive and your guests find that fun surprise in addition to the invites!
Wedding Venue Illustrations as a Wrap for your Suite
Bundling your gorgeous invitations up in some sort of band or wrap isn’t just an opportunity to add to the overall aesthetics of your suite–it also ensures that they stay organized and safe after they’re dropped in the mail. While ribbons and paper belly bands are always a great option, I also love suggesting that clients incorporate a full wrap using either vellum or light weight texture and their custom venue painting or illustration is a gorgeous piece of artwork to place here. They’re fun to open and give guests a great little sneak peek at what to expect on the wedding day!
Wedding Venue Illustrations as Day of Stationery
When it comes to customizing day of stationery for your wedding, the sky is the limit and incorporating your wedding venue is a perfect place to start. Think cute little cocktail napkins that guests can grab along with their beverage of choice and a tasty passed appetizer. Or possibly atop of your wedding welcome sign. I love a beautiful linen sign with your venue printed at the top which ultimately becomes a really lovely keepsake after your wedding day. I also love to see my clients utilize their painted venue as part of something that guests take home with them such as a fan for toasty outdoor weddings or as the cover of their wedding ceremony program.
