Inspirations – Ten Favorite Takes on Landscapes

Landscapes have long been the Muse of many an artist. From the grandeur of towering peaks to the beautiful calm of a sunlit meadow… nature inspires. For couples, having a location transformed into a painterly scene can set the stage for the big day or tell the story of their journey to that place. From the dramatic to the playful, these invitations have a story to tell and offer a glimpse of what guests will be experiencing. Here’s a few of our favorite examples from some of our outdoorsy brides:
