Amanda and Brian's Final Wedding Map

Amanda and Brian are getting married on the beach here in Manasquan next month with a Clambake to follow along Stockton Lake. We used the preliminary sketch for this map for their Save the Date cards. Amanda and Brian's wedding colors lent a whimsical touch, as well as their request for the two lobsters "holding claws."

Watercolor Beach Scene Wedding Invitations

Donna and Steve met with us and really loved this invitation set we designed for Erika & Keith's wedding. They asked if we could recreate the scene in watercolor and we were happy to oblige.

Key West Wedding at Truman Little White House

Mandy and Ed first came to us for Save the Dates for their Key West wedding. For their wedding invitation, they wanted an informational booklet for their guests to be able to use while visiting the island. First we created a watercolor painting of their venue, Truman Little White House, and used it as the cover of their destination wedding invitation.

Included in the book were a letter to their guests, accommodations information, and a custom map corresponding with the following page of "phony ads"for real places they enjoy on the island and other useful information.

RSVP postcards used a digital illustration of the Conch Repulic flag.

We also created an original monogram for their wedding brand, which was used in 

the booklet and later on cocktail napkins, coasters, stickers and favor tote bags. 

They loved their monogram so much they had a custom flag made!!

The Truman Little White House painting was used for ceremony programs 

and we loved their idea of using colorful fish on their seating cards.

Beach Dogs Save the Dates

Save the Dates for Danielle and Jeremy's wedding, featuring their adorable dogs Bernie and Abby on the beach. Digital color was added to the original pencil sketch.

Gabriella & Domenick's English Estate Wedding

Gaby and Dom will be married this summer in Oxfordshire, England at the the gorgeous Cornbury Park Estate. We created an illustration of the venue for their Save the Dates, which sits at the top of their wedding invitation. An illustrated map of their story was commissioned for use as a fun insert/backside of their Weekend Activities card.

Bonnet Island Nautical Save the Dates

We love the clean simplicity of Katelyn and Scott's nautical save the dates. The card features an illustration of their wedding venue, the lovely Bonnet Island Estate. Custom navy envelopes with a contrasting anchor pattern interior complement the navy and gold color scheme. Printing and envelopes by http://www.hatteras.us .

Tara & Nikki's Classic Asbury Park Designs

As their six month anniversary approaches, we thought we would share these designs we created for Tara and Nikki's September wedding. We printed their wedding ceremony programs on small bags that were then filled with confetti. The brown bags were filled with goodies for hotel guests staying overnight. Personalized cocktail napkins with the famous "Tillie" the lettering from the classic  "Greetings from Asbury Park" postcard were a nice touch.

Nautical Manasquan Map Save the Dates

What's more fun than a beach wedding and a lobster bake reception? Amanda and Brian's wedding will take place right here in Manasquan in September. We created these original map save the dates with nautical touches throughout.

Floral/ Seashell Save the Date cards

We recently had the opportunity to create this original piece of art for Allison and JC's save the date cards. The bride's bouquet and wedding decor will feature the flowers and shells we painted.

Wedding Map Gift

Here is a recently completed map that was commissioned as a wedding gift by the bride's sister. Jenn and Jeff were married last October in Spring Lake, New Jersey at St. Catharine Church. It was fun recreating their wedding cake, along with the rest of their story, in watercolor.

Evolution of an Original Monogram

Last summer, we had the pleasure of working with Susan and Jason to design their wedding invitations. The invitations featured an original monogram design, which they later used on cocktail napkins, ceremony programs and menus, along with their wedding cake! Our original monogram designs start with a handful of sketch options, from which our clients are welcome to combine elements to create the monogram of their choice. Susan and Jason's final monogram was a combination of two of the original sketches. We worked up a revised sketch and then finalized the monogram in digital form. The bride’s mother had the monogram engraved on a custom cake knife, which we thought was a beautiful, thoughtful gift. Additionally, the couple used the monogram as a dance floor spotlight.

Rumson Country Club Save the Dates

It's always fun to do wedding venue illustrations, and this dramatic entryway to the Rumson Country Club was no exception. The illustration was created using pencil and watercolors. Lindsay and Blake will be married at the Club in May, and we designed this save the date card for their wedding.

Bay Head Yacht Club Letterpress Wedding Invitations

This is another set from last summer. Bridgin and Ian had a very specific concept in mind when we met last winter to discuss their wedding invitations. A view of the Bay Head Yacht Club from the water was to be the focus, so we first created a pencil sketch of the building outline. A digital line art illustration was then created and split to cover the design of both wedding invitation and rsvp cards. A nautical theme was tied into the corresponding cards  and envelopes in the set, and touches of yellow added to the navy and white color scheme. Milkfed Press printed the beautiful letterpress cards and did a stellar job of getting the illustration to line up on both cards!
