Happy Monday, Penny Darlings!
This has been a fabulously delightful and wonderfully over the top exhausting. It’s been fabulous and everything, but phew, I’m tired! I’m always happy to be here with you!
Let me just start with the boring stuff so we can get to the goods! Ha! Check me out on Instagram here! I also started a Twitter account! Find that here! Follow Preston’s brand new fashion Instagram here! I also have a selling Instagram page where I sell some of my old clothes/styles so that I don’t drown in my own wardrobe. I just listed a few new things – so check that out!
But since it’s a more artistic space (and we looked at a few art galleries for our venue!) we wanted to go a little more artistic with our decorations.
So I reached out to a few Insta-friends (who are also AMAZING artists!) to help us with our decorations for the wedding a few months ago! After receiving some amazing fan art from some amazingly talented artists, I knew that I wanted to have some easels at our wedding to display some of these artists’ renderings of Preston & myself! After my first post, I reached out to a few other illustrators that I absolutely adore and some of them graciously agreed to work with me!
So, pleasepleaseplease – support artists! This group is full of AMAZINGLY talented people that continue to impress and amaze me everyday!
I will be linking to their Instagram/Etsy shops/Society6 – so please check them out! (also, these couple portraits are PERFECT for a gift, just saying!)

Bethany is a total doll, has the cutest illustration style, and I literally cried when I opened this in the mail. Check out Bethany’s Etsy page here! Check out her blog page here!
@witchy_boots
This ADORABLE gal has so many cute illustrations (some are even Disney-inspired that I love!). She did this in the style of Carl & Ellie from UP (Preston and I always say that!). She also has a plus size OOTD account!
@tyillustration
This amazingly multi-faceted artist is a full-time student, an animator, designer, and illustrator, and full-time bad ass. Her style is totally delightful and she has tons of cool geekery on her feed!
@netherye
This amazing cartoonist, printmaker, and illustrator added an excitingly delightful pop of color to this collection! Check out Nethery’s Etsy page here!
@elissamariecreative
This magically punny illustrator self admittedly ‘makes stuff’. She also designs, animates, crafts, and creates! Check out her Society6 page, her RedBubble shop, and her site to contact her about commissions and collabs! Check out that page here!

This total boss babe has such a unique style and brought totally captured my ‘end of Grease’ Sandy vibe! Check out her website here!
@that_splash_mountain_life
This absolutely delightful Disney-addict is a designer, illustrator, colorful and fun artist! I got to see her work when she did an ADORABLE picture of @TeamSparkle and I’ve been obsessed ever since! Check out her Etsy page for commissions and original work, her Society6 for merch, and her Ko-Fi here!
Thank you to these AMAZING artists! Please check out their pages, buy their work, and support artists!
