Opulence for J+P
September 7, 2024
Janine & Peter’s wedding suite had it all, from a custom floral painting to an illustrated monogram featuring venue architecture and their two cats. Janine wanted to incorporate every shade of red with hints of gold. In addition to the custom painting, I included intricate illustrations of roses and thistles (a nod to their Edinburgh Castle engagement) that added so much detail to the suite. We also worked together on a lot of pieces for the big day, but I think my favorite by far was seeing my painting blown up to serve as the backdrop to their photo booth (shout out to The Best Philly Photobooth for making it happen!) All in all working with these two really checked all the boxes that make up a custom, luxury paper suite.

Words from the couple:
“My wife and I are so glad we chose Amy for our wedding invitations and day-of paper. She did a wonderful job taking our half-formed, abstract ideas and turning them into a stunning, unique invitation suite that our guests couldn’t stop talking about. Amy was creative, responsive, and kind, and we appreciated her willingness to work collaboratively with us from beginning to end. She was just a dream to work with. We can’t say enough about her thoughtfulness and her artistry, and highly recommend her if you’re looking for one-of-a-kind wedding paper.“
