This custom illustrated itinerary complements the wedding map, providing guests with a beautifully designed schedule of events. The charming illustrations and cohesive design make it a helpful and delightful piece of stationery.
About this collection
We approach every custom map not just as a way to guide guests, but as a chance to relive your journey. We include landmarks that defined your relationship, like the cafe where you met or the view from your proposal spot, ensuring your guests step into your story the moment they open the envelope.
We begin by sitting down to understand the chapters of your life together. Whether it is the city where you met, the park where you got engaged, or the little quirks you share as a couple, we translate those memories into hand-drawn illustrations.
For love story timelines, we create a visual map of your milestones. We map out key moments, using watercolors or classic sketches to bring them to life on your stationery. This style works exceptionally well for destination weddings, where we can illustrate the specific terrain of your venue, the local flora, or even the layout of the property.
We also incorporate personal touches that go beyond the usual floral motifs. If you have pets, we include them in the scene. If you have shared hobbies or specific cultural traditions, we weave those into the artwork. This is a collaborative process. After we present the initial concept, we provide two rounds of visual iterations to ensure every detail matches your vision.
Beyond just the look, we think about the layout. A map needs to be functional as well as beautiful. We balance the artistic elements with clarity so your guests actually find the venue while enjoying the art. The final result is not just a card to announce a date, but a keepsake that captures the beginning of your marriage.
Kiana
At Kiana, we believe your invitation is the first chapter of your wedding story. We do not use mass-produced templates. We spend time learning your history, from the cities you have lived in to the inside jokes you share, and weave those memories into hand-drawn artwork that feels entirely yours.
