Historic Philadelphia Wedding Venues

Soft pencil sketch venue illustrations are the centerpiece of Nicole and Stephen's invitation design. The nuptials are now postponed until August due to the pandemic, but hopefully months from now, vows will happily be exchanged at Old St. Joseph's Church in Philadelphia, the oldest Catholic church in the city, dating from 1733. We used the beautiful and historic wrought iron gates of St. Joseph's, which lead into the church courtyard, as inspiration for the rsvp card.

The celebration will continue at the Center City venue, Ballroom at the Ben, with a spacious dance floor and gorgeous architectural details. The venue is most famous for its backdrop in the Academy Award-nominated film "Silver Linings Playbook."

Gabrielle and Andrew's Summer Shimmer

Gabrielle and Andrew were married on the second day of summer, and this gold shimmer invitation was fitting for their beautiful, sunny wedding day.

Mansion at Natirar Elegance

We love adding wedding venue illustrations to our portfolio. The beautiful Mansion at Natirar in Peapack- Gladstone is an example of lovely,  historic New Jersey architecture. Built in 1910 as a private residence for an heiress, it has since been turned into a well-loved spot for elegant weddings.  The Mansion boasts amazing architectural details. Daniela and Erik chose to accentuate the charm of the building and grounds by using spots of gold foil and gray letterpress. A regal ruby color sets of the warmth of the foil. The interior architectural detail of a picture window overlooking the lush acreage was used for wine bottle labels. The bride's father made the wine, adding a personal touch.

Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge and Castle Hill Lighthouse illustrations represented the view from Ocean Cliff, where the reception was held.

Old-School Glamour in Hoboken

Caitlin and Mike met while working in California and wanted to find a way to include that detail in their invitation suite. They chose the subtle reference of the California license plate font as the script. Small touches of red paired well with the silver, black and white color palette. A nod to Hoboken's own, Frank Sinatra, was used as a reception card illustration. A small letter "G" was placed on the front of the vintage microphone.
