Once you\u2019ve settled on Charleston, SC for your wedding destination, it\u2019s time to start thinking about getting the word out to guests.\u00a0 And we\u2019re not talking about just the date \u2013 you\u2019ll want to get to work on some personalized wedding artwork to show guests exactly why they need to plan their trip to Charleston!<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re guessing there are a few (very good) reasons you chose the Holy City for your Big Day.\u00a0 Charleston is full of sites just begging to be featured on illustrated wedding invitations.\u00a0 Just to name a few:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Rainbow Row<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rainbow Row is a row of 13 pastel homes unlike anything you\u2019ll find anywhere else.\u00a0 They were originally constructed circa 1740 when East Bay Street was directly on the waterfront.\u00a0 Since then, the area has been infilled quite a bit.\u00a0 Nowadays, you\u2019ll see many families, engaged couples, brides & grooms and tourists all vying for a photo at this beautiful spot.\u00a0 You can learn more about is history <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The beautiful pastels of Rainbow Row have become somewhat synonymous with Charleston and are a great jumping off point for personalized wedding artwork.\u00a0 It\u2019s featured in many of our custom wedding invitation designs!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The Pineapple Fountain<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Situated at Waterfront Park, the pineapple fountain is another Charleston icon.\u00a0 Pineapples are a symbol of hospitality and welcome, so the city chose it for the fountain design when Waterfront Park was being constructed in the 1980s.\u00a0 It is a popular spot for engagements and wedding photos for good reason!<\/span><\/p>\n

The pineapple also makes a wonderful motif for wedding stationery given its meaning.\u00a0 We have featured pineapples and the fountain on many <\/span>illustrated wedding invitations<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The Ravenel Bridge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

True Charleston locals remember the \u201cold\u201d and \u201cnew\u201d bridge which were actually both decades old at the time of their demolition.\u00a0 They were replaced with the beautiful new Arthur J Ravenel Bridge around 2005, opening up Mt Pleasant, SC to massive growth (and more lovely wedding venues!).\u00a0 It\u2019s a beautiful vista to look out across the water and see the bridge over shining seas.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bridge makes a great symbol to use on weddings in Charleston and Mt Pleasant.\u00a0 For many couples it makes perfect sense to use it as personalized wedding artwork.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Miles of shoreline<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Within a half hour of downtown you\u2019ll find Folly Beach, Sullivans, Isle of Palms and even more beaches just a little bit further away.\u00a0 Kiawah Island is an especially popular Charleston wedding destination.\u00a0 The palm trees, gorgeous water, and miles of sand are perfect wedding spots and offer a wealth of options for illustrated wedding invitations.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Grand Oaks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s nothing quite like the Spanish moss draped oak trees in Charleston.\u00a0 Even on the barrier islands like Kiawah, you get to enjoy BOTH the oaks and the palm trees.\u00a0 What more could you ask for?\u00a0 Trees are the perfect symbol to incorporate into wedding invitations for their symbolism of permanence, growth, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, why do you need <\/span>custom venue artwork for your Charleston wedding<\/span><\/a>?\u00a0 We hope we\u2019ve made it clear!\u00a0 There are just too many beautiful places, both natural and manmade, in the holy city not to feature on illustrated wedding invitations.\u00a0 Some guests may not know much about Charleston, so you\u2019ll want to put the best foot forward and including personalized wedding artwork is the best way to do that!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dodeline Design<\/span><\/a> is run by Sarah Reed, who is a born and raised 3<\/span>rd<\/span> generation Charlestonian.\u00a0 In the 16 years since Dodeline opened, they\u2019ve been drawing and creating gorgeous custom save the dates, invitations and more.\u00a0 There\u2019s no better stationery studio to help you create something special for your Charleston wedding!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
