How to submit your custom map

Creating your map with Google Maps

While there are different ways to submit your map, I find the easiest site to use is Google Maps. You'll need a Google account to use this feature.

Go to https://mapsengine.google.com/map. Create a new map. You can click on the map title to change its name.
Type the address of your destination into the search bar and hit Enter. The Maps creator will add a green marker to your map.
Click the green marker. On the pop-up window for the marker, click the "Add to map" link and add a title. The destination will now show up in the list on the left of your screen.
If your map will include multiple destinations, you can repeat the process to add more markers.
Once you're done, click on "Share" in the upper right-hand corner. Under "Who has access," change it to "Anyone with the link."
Copy and paste the share URL into your order information.

Customize your map design

You can customize your map in order to build the design that best matches your needs. Pick your colors, fonts, design, and extra elements as needed and include the information with your order.

Customize colors and fonts

Read through my available custom colors and fonts for wedding invitations. If you want to match an existing invitation, you can contact me to find out about submitting the design.

Choose your detailed locations

Detailed locations are the places where you want a completely customized painting of the building or area.

Choose your icons

You'll want to choose the type of icon you want to represent the need-to-know spots on your map, such as parking or the airport.

How it works

Place your order.
You'll receive an email from me confirming your order and requesting all your map details.
Once I have all the details, I'll create a pencil sketch so we can confirm the look and layout of your map.
After the sketch is approved, I'll start painting! Depending on how intricate your map is, it may take up to two weeks to have a completed painted map for you to review.
You'll have the opportunity to make small changes to the map proof.
Once it's approved, you'll either receive your digital file or your map will go to the printer for production!

I guess there isn't anything else quite like this. Better go with this one!

She took the jumbled mess of nonsense Ben and I gave her … and somehow created the perfect suite that fit us as a couple.

We could tell from seeing Ashleigh work with other clients that she loves what she does. That's really apparent from the level of detail and craftsmanship in her suites, and how much work she puts into making sure every project is exactly what the client is looking for.

I felt like the millions of "unique" [designs] out there are really similar and really traditional, and they weren't for us. (And I never knew having tons of unappealing options could be so overwhelming!) Ben and I had a relatively non-traditional plan for our wedding, and we couldn't find much that looked like what we wanted.

She was totally on board with what we wanted in terms of less formal language and more...comedic relief? I'm not sure what to call it. But a lot of wedding invitations are super formal, and we were planning to host a casual "weekend in the woods with a wedding," so "being honored with someone's presence" didn't feel right.

She also took the jumbled mess of nonsense Ben and I gave her when she asked what we were looking for and somehow created the perfect suite that fit us as a couple and the low-stress weekend-vibe we were looking for. It was really helpful to have someone who was so good at intuiting what we were going for when both of us found the whole wedding planning process to be largely overwhelming.

Ashleigh is really client-centered. She's like a walking wedding invitation etiquette guide, which is really, really, helpful! It's great to have a professional when you're angsting over how to write names on your invites, when to send them, whether someone who is 16 should get their own or be included with their parents, etc.

Regardless of what a couple wants (traditional, low-key, flowery, abstract, etc.) she will design until it's perfect.
