"As always, Vanessa did beautiful custom work that totally blew us away--both in PDF and in person! I can't recommend her highly enough, as she's punctual, organized, and amazingly talented."

"Designing my own invitation was such a fun, collaborative process with vohandmade. Vanessa was able to create an invitation that represented the whimsical/modern/springlike ideas I had in my head... even if I didn't always articulate them as clearly as I would have liked.

Who would have thought that the invitation is my favorite design element of my upcoming wedding? Vohandmade deserves the highest compliments; it's clear my guests agree, judging from the feedback I've gotten on the invitations!"

Many of the designs that I offer began as a custom design for a couple that wanted something to reflect their unique style. All of these couples had one thing in common - they just couldn't find the perfect design anywhere else, and they loved what they saw at VO Handmade.

You may want your invitations to coordinate with a wedding flower (like the Poppy in the Sun design). Maybe you are getting married in a stunning location (like under a big oak tree, beside a windmill, or in the city). Or perhaps you want something a little more unusual... like two librarians wishing to 'take each other out of circulation' with their vintage book theme wedding invitation. Are you also a book lover, but you love dogs instead of trees? Design modifications can be done.

One thing is for sure - your guests have never seen anything like this!

Here is the perfect way for your own wedding details and personality to be infused into your special day. It is also a really fun and easy process! Just be sure to allow yourself enough time. Contact me (2-3 months in advance of when you'll be sending them) to discuss your ideas, ask questions or request a quote.

Happy planning!
