Only 2 artists create original artwork for Invitesite’s wedding stationery: Scott Rubel and Diana Huff.

Diana Huff is an amazing illustrator. Her drawings are witty, beguiling and romantic. Tiffany, Crane, Bergdoff’s, Glamour Magazine, have all hired her to create illustrations  for their products.

Diana painted a fanciful piece of artwork for Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding, which has been all over the TV news. She also painted an original Mazel Tov sign, for Samuel’s of Rhinebeck, also featured. Isn’t the Chelsea + Marc Wedding Painting fabulous??

Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky Painting

Chelsea Clinton + Marc Mezvinsky Wedding Painting by Diana Huff

The painting is  hanging in Wing & Clover — and  purchased as a gift by one of the Clinton’s guests. It has been featured on both Fox News:

and right at the beginning of CBS [national] Evening News, on Monday nite:

Access Hollywood features Diana’s painting AND Mozel Tov sign (crediting the artist, finally!). (NOTE 8/6/10 – ACCESS HOLLYWOOD has since removed the video from their server.)

And CBS Evening News used the painting and sign again as the lede images on last night’s newscast.  How exciting!

Wing & Clover seems like a fabulous place to buy documentary art and take workshops.   If you’re in the Rhinebeck area, check out their facebook page for updates.

These are the designs that Diana created for InviteSite’s wedding invitations:

Our company is staffed with diehard romantics: which is why we love the book format for wedding invitations so much.  So, from our hearts to your hearts, the Storybook Wedding Invitations design:

Storybook Vintage Wedding Invitations

Storybook Wedding Invitations: Vintage Sand Style

This booklet style is just perfect for romantic, vintage weddings. The cover is diecut, and so are the interior DIY imprintable invite sheets. RSVP card and envelope suite attaches to the interior back cover with vintage style kraft colored photocorners. Chic! Included is the printable label (you would print 4 on a sheet and cut. This size goes through a laser or inkjet perfectly) — and the photo corners for mounting. We do have a 1/2 inch ribbon for binding,  if you want a slightly more substantial ribbon. We chose the 1/8th inch, because it reminds us of books from our extensive collections of illustrated books from the 1920′s and earlier.

The storybook cover is made from Italian pearlescent cardstock: sophisticated taupe color with a really lovely surface that is really hard to photograph! This is a super close up – the texture is actually smooth, but the light is bouncing off the subtle pearlized surface:

Special price too: 75 cents each, minimum 100 programs. [...]
