Over 15 years ago, I searched for the perfect invitation for my own wedding. At the time I did not want the traditional raised white on white floral patterns that were offered. So I got out my paint brushes and began to create my one-of-a-kind hand painted invitations.
Whatever your style or theme may be, the designers at Carol Woldhuis Designs offer the perfect solutions to the catalog designs from the past. We specialize in hand painted invitations that can either be an original, one of a kind piece, or an artistic rendering from a photograph of your choice.
We are a "family & friends" run studio. Most of the concept designing is done by Carol, but she only has TWO hands, so there is always a need to bring in a few extra sets of hands to keep up with the work flow during our peak seasons, and most of the friends recruited are more than willing to be creative for a day. It must be something about the arts and paints that everyone LOVES.
Each client's order is a"new creation"† based on our consultation process. With this being said, our normal turn around time is 4-6 weeks. This allows our designer ample dialogue time with our clients to ensure total satisfaction.
We are located in Northern Illinois, but service many clients throughout the United States, including a satellite office in California. Most of our consultation process can be done via emails and or phone calls, so we feel our physical location is not a stumbling block.
Our company is based on the belief that our customers' needs are of the utmost importance. We hand select paper and fonts to match your vision, while bringing the project to a final concept that will express to your guests the excitement you have for your special day. This also sets the mood and gives them a "little glimpse" at what to expect when they attend your event.
We offer many design choices from formal to whimsical and fun, with a layered look. Our specialty is the hand-painted details that we love to add. Each item is passed through the hands of our designers, we take pride in the quality of every piece of ART we produce.
Call us to set up your consultation appointment, so we can get started designing the occasion of your dreams!
