Italian Château Wedding Invitation Watercolor Illustration

I was honored to create a custom watercolor illustration of Villa Erba and a venue map for Sidney and Reed’s luxury wedding invitation box.

Their beautiful wedding took place at Villa Erba in Lake Como, Italy , and I had the pleasure of illustrating the iconic villa for their invitation. I also created a custom watercolor venue map featuring both Villa Erba and Villa Geno, where their dinner party was held the evening before the wedding.

It was such a special project to illustrate these beautiful Lake Como wedding venues and create artwork that became part of their elegant wedding invitation box. I loved capturing the romantic atmosphere and timeless beauty of this incredible Italian destination through watercolor.

It was the most stunning invitation I’ve ever received and I was so excited to see my drawings in it. Thank you so much for including my art and inviting us to your beautiful wedding!
