Custom Watercolor Wedding Invitations in Austin

Custom watercolor wedding invitations, painted by hand in my Austin, Texas studio and sent anywhere you need them. We start with a blank page and your story, and end up with something nobody else has. I take on two suites a month so every one of them gets my whole attention, and so it becomes the kind of thing your people keep.

How a Suite Comes Together

Six stages, from the first questionnaire to files ready for print.

  1. One

    Questionnaire

    A detailed questionnaire to capture your venue, your palette, your people, and the details that make the day yours.

  2. Two

    Consultation

    We meet to refine your vision and inspiration together, and agree on where the artwork is headed.

  3. Three

    Design Mockups

    I develop initial mockups to establish the overall aesthetic and direction before any paint touches paper.

  4. Four

    Hand-Painting and Digitizing

    Once approved, each element is meticulously hand-painted in watercolor, then carefully digitized for print.

  5. Five

    Proof and Revisions

    You receive a first proof of your artwork, and we refine every detail through revisions until it feels just right.

  6. Six

    Wording and Final Review

    Your wording is seamlessly incorporated, and we complete a final review before preparing your suite for print or digital delivery.

What this does and does not include. Printing covers 2 printed pieces and 2 envelopes per suite, with printed addresses included at no extra cost. Postage is not included unless you add white glove delivery, where it is billed at cost: the estimate assumes one stamp a suite, and a heavier or square envelope, or a stamped reply envelope, will cost more. Paper stock, sizing, extra pieces, rush timelines and anything else unusual will move the number. The Celestial Heirloom Suite is quoted individually and is not in this estimator.

Jamilee is the BEST!!! It was SOOOO special to have her live paint guests at our son and daughter in law’s rehearsal dinner! The paintings are a fantastic activation for any event and what a special keepsake from the night. HIGHLY Recommend!!!!

Jamielee is AMAZING. We were lucky to have her help us in designing all of our stationery and we are so excited to have her do live guest illustrations on our wedding day. She is so talented and was spectacular in really understanding our vision, taking feedback and inspiration while also staying true to her style and creative direction. We can’t recommend her enough, she is one of the best decisions we have made in our wedding journey!

Jamielee is an absolute delight to work with and incredibly talented! She took several photos that I sent her and created a lovely collage for us to give to my mother in law at my father in laws memorial send off. She also created a lovely image of my immediate family and we proudly have it hung in our living room. I can’t wait to hire her again!

Jamielee crafted the save the dates and invitations for my fiancé and I’s wedding and I just LOVE them. It was really important to me that our stationery was unique, personalized, and memorable. Jamielee nailed it! She was also a dream to work with. Everything was quick, easy, and affordable. I’m looking forward to using her services for future events.

Jamielee created the perfect Father’s Day portrait that I ordered for my brother. She is an incredibly talented artist and a great communicator. I am definitely going to be ordering more art from her in the future!

Very grateful for the designs that Dreamy Waters Designs did for my upcoming micro wedding. She took my theme, preferred colors, and location and created beautiful and timeless designs for save the dates, invites, and thank you cards that we will be able to use for the wedding and display with other photos and memorabilia for years to come. Highly recommend for any wedding stationery needs.

Where to begin. Dreamy Waters did an incredible job making invitations for my bridal shower. I had no clue the invitations were going to be done with so much care and attention to detail. The artist has an eye for design and will certainly exceed your expectations. Perfect for a more personalized approach! Thank you again. The invitations were lovely!

My husband loves his Father’s Day drawing with the kids. Such a sweet gift idea that also preserves memories.
