Her style features watercolour illustrations inspired by nature across a range of products including cards, wrapping paper, stickers and more. www.kghillustrates.co.uk This custom design complemented the couple’s pink and navy theme and features a blossom tree painting. A honeymoon fund poem was included along with an illustrated map to the venue on their details card. A hand-bound guest book was made to match, complete with window revealing an original hand-painted illustration, the couple’s names and wedding date.
