CURRENTLY CRUSHING
This month, we're diving a little deeper into another one of our current crushes — custom illustrations.
From save-the-dates to bar signage to party favors, custom illustrations are a unique way to have a little fun and incorporate personalized details into your big day. Whether it's a portrait of you and your spouse-to-be, your furry friends or even your venue, we're seeing illustrations pop up everywhere in weddings as a guaranteed way to wow your guests.
Stay tuned every month for what wedding trends we're currently crushing on. Scroll on for Pinterest-worthy inspiration from our real weddings!
1. Bar Signage
Our pet's are our children, so it's only natural for us to want them to be a part of our special day. A fun way to incorporate our fluffy friends is with custom illustrations and signature cocktails.

2. Invitations
Whether it's an illustration of the Nashville skyline or your wedding venue, we love it when invitation suites get personal.
A custom illustration of the beautiful Bell Tower graced Lindsay and Brian's rehearsal dinner invitations, not only making it personal but also giving any anxious guests a good visual of what to look for.

3. Guest Book Alternative
We've always been a fan of nixing the traditional guest book and opting for an alternative that won't gather dust on a shelf. Natalee and Marc chose to have guests sign an illustrated series of the Nashville skyline. They later framed them to hang in their home.

4. Temporary Tattoos
Becca and Mike had custom illustrations of themselves made into temporary tattoos for their guests, and it's safe to say, we're obsessed.

5. Cakes
A custom cake topper is another fun way to incorporate an illustration into your wedding. Find you a bakery that not only designs cakes, but are artists too. Fallyn + Aaron commissioned the one and only Dulce Desserts to illustrate their feline friend for the groom's cake.
