Charleston is one of the most charming places I’ve ever visited. I’m prepping for a wedding map of this southern city and I can’t wait to paint those pastel antebellum houses 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

One of my all time favorite venues, @pippinhillfarm ! Over the years I’ve built up quite a library of venue paintings. Did you know that if you are getting married at one of the venues I have already painted, I include it in your suite design free of charge? Or, if someone else is designing your invitations, I will let you purchase the artwork files from me for your stationer to incorporate it into your suite? So, if you’ve seen your wedding venue pop up in my portfolio, don’t be shy. You can inquiry through my website or send me an email to emilymaynestudio@gmail.com!

Does it get anymore more classic than hydrangeas and roses? 🤔 I’ll be adding this oh-so-classic Hydrangea Suite design to my collection of pre-designed suites soon, along with some others 🤭🤫 Pre-designed suites allow for more flexibility for the Emily Mayne Studio bride in terms of timeline and cost, but still gives you all the hand painted details and personalized touches. More to come soon! 🤗

The happiest menus for Allison and Dylan’s wedding, featuring little illustrations of elements from each dish!🍴

A summery, romantic and classic invitation design for Amanda and Brandon featuring their wedding crest and a painting of their venue, Casa Belevedere.

Give me all the greens 🌿 I’m always blown away by the requests I get from brides for their custom suite designs after meeting with their florists. Dusty miller, ferns, willow eucalyptus, Italian ruscus, geranium, rosemary, ivy, olive branch.. I could go on and on!

Always inspired by Degas. What I wouldn’t give for a MET museum day!

Here’s hoping your Monday just got a little brighter thanks to Hyatt and Brittany. These two are saying “I Do” on the promenade of @batterygardensnyc, overlooking the Hudson and Statue of Liberty. Not afraid of color, the bride requested something bright and bold with sunset and citrus inspired colors. I painted poppies, roses, peonies, sweet pea, snapdragons, lisianthus, kumquat, buplerum, fern, freesia, geranium and tulips for her Amsterdam heritage. I love that the overall effect is free-flowing, sprouting, asymmetrical, happy and fun!

I can’t say enough about how much I love @thehappybloom. They are my absolute favorite film photography team! Every photograph is soft, romantic and happy with a southern heartbeat. What a treat to collaborate with this low country duo.

My sweet couple met at Missouri State University, so we made two crests for them: one more formal, and one more fun! Swipe over to see their MSU grizzly bear mascot version.

A little peek into Morgan and William’s invitation suite. So fun, so festive and so colorful! We went all out for this one - vintage postage, a wedding map, a botanical motif, a pet illustration of Fiona, vellum, colored envelopes.. the list goes on! Invitations are truly the first impression your guests will have of your wedding, and I hope this suite gets these lucky recipients so excited for Morgan and William’s big day 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 📷 by my girl @bacon.me.crazy

I got to paint the absolute cuuuutest cottage for Kelly Hill of @blossomthymehill. The cottage is her floral studio that sits on her flower farm property in Missouri, where wildflowers and blue birds surround the studio.

I’m blown away by the talent and creativity of each contributor who made this concept come to life. So much so that I’m still daydreaming about this styled shoot! Every single detail from the invitations, to the programs, to the welcome tags and down to the seating cards were painted and designed with the story of “My Heart Aflutter” in mind. This suite was such a favorite that I’m now offering it as part of my Pre-Designed Suite Collection. Check out my website for more info!

One of my all time favorite venue paintings is of @ilborro in Tuscany because.. it’s Tuscany. Or maybe all of the shutters.. the pink.. the cypress trees. I can’t choose!

Spring has sprung in Charleston. I’ve been dying to share this suite since I designed it back in October. Go grab the new issue of @charlestonweddings to see more from this gorgeous editorial at Lowndes Grove Plantation! There so much prettiness to take in from this dream team of vendors.

We kept it simple and sweet for Harmoni and Tyler, who are saying “I Do” at Belo Mansion in June!

Sharing a peek of something green today for a summer wedding in Scotland. My couple requested that the design reflects a Scottish feel with an touch of Pride & Prejudice inspiration. I said, “yeah.. I can get on board with that.”😍 We used light and airy green and accents of deep emerald, lush flowers, and accents of traditional ivy and thistle. There’s also a hand drawing of their venue, Archerfield House, drawn by the bride’s father. I’ll share more once the vellum, wax seals and addressed envelopes are added but I couldn’t pass up posting all this pretty green on St. Patrick’s Day!

Happy Friday, y’all! I thought I’d share a little more about my daily routine as a business owner for #fridayintroductions.
I wake up super early and get ready, start a cup of tea and walk the pups. The day is a disaster if Nolan doesn’t get his walk and will revenge eat our belongings without one, not exaggerating. I start tackling emails at 7 and have the Today Show on in the background. This includes answering new inquiries and questions, sending design questionnaires and tailored quotes, taking care of edit requests, placing orders, scheduling new projects, etc. Emails take hours and hours and go on until 10 or 11, sometimes 12. I’ll also try to make sure I keep up with posting any new work on social (hey! 🙋🏻‍♀️) and then I’ll head to my studio!
Around mid morning/noon I’ll start my new custom project with a hand painting. This can be a venue painting, botanicals that reflect my client’s specific wedding flowers, a custom crest design, pet illustrations, wedding map, and so on. Then, I’ll scan my work in and transfer it digitally to start designing the wedding suite. I’ll block out several days in my calendar for each project, depending on the amount of work required. I try not to schedule more than two wedding suites + one Save the Date per week because overtime I’ve learned that it’s all I can take on as the sole employee. This is how I end up with a calendar booked 6 months in advance 🙈🙉 All while listening to: Gilmore Girls, Musicals, Classical Music from Movie Soundtracks.
In the late afternoon I’ll digitally design each piece of a wedding suite, put together a proof and send it to my clients! End of day tasks include going to FedEx to mail completed suites, shooting new work for my portfolio, mailing samples and taking care of formatting digitally printed addresses. This all goes on until 6 or 7. In the evening I’ll cook dinner, walk the dogs again with Russell if he’s not studying for law school. I never imagined I’d enjoy such long work days but I LOVE what I do and I’m so grateful for y’alls support and every new inquiry that hits my inbox. It’s a lot to handle but I pinch that I can provide for us on my own during this season of life.

I was so excited to create Lauren’s classic and elegant wedding suite - we went to college at Texas Tech and spent endless hours in the design studio together. So happy she and William are tying the knot this summer!

I’m prepping for my next live painting in Houston at the end of the month and can’t wait to visit one of my favorite cities and some of my favorite people. 📸 @virgilbunaophotography
