Vibrant Floral Custom Wedding Invitation… with Squirrels! | Real Wedding
Category: Portfolio | Published on: Oct 29, 2019
This custom suite definitely falls in my top ten of all time! With vibrant colors, dahlias and roses, and a sweet squirrel added in, this design had a great balance of class and whimsy.
The Concept
When Katie reached out to me, she described the design she wanted, she said, “We want someone to open it and want to take a minute to appreciate it! […] We aren’t afraid to try something a little different.” She wanted something that fit both their planned formal wedding ceremony and a reception that was “all music and party!”
After we met, I mocked up a classic design that included her flowers (dahlias and roses) and colors (navy, blush, burgundy, gold)—but with a fun twist!
During our consult, they mentioned that the groom’s last name had an unexpected translation; their new family would be the House of Squirrels! So we thought it would be a great personal touch to include a couple of small squirrel details.
The Painting
Once the overall look was approved, I started on the painting!

I used my usual process for this suite, painting the elements separately so that I can make adjustments later on.
The Final Product
Each piece was printed digitally on my signature watercolor felt paper. Look at those vibrant colors and that adorable squirrel!
Additional touches like the gold wax seal and gold border around the invitation really added to the formal feel.
Here’s what the clients had to say!
“Ashleigh really took what we wanted to the next level! Everything that we thought might be a good idea but could have gone poorly she managed to make beautiful. Our invitations rode the line of classic with just enough whimsy (I mean, we have a squirrel!).
“Your online systems are great, your art is amazing and the end products are stunning! The online portal made it easy to check proofs, review the contracts and know where projects were! I liked that you listened to us but ultimately the creative was something I couldn’t have described and you really executed from our pieces of vision! I loved that everything was easily itemized in your quote and that you asked to talk to both of us. You were the only stationery vendor that asked to meet with both of us and that got Nick really excited.”
