When it comes to planning a wedding, it’s the personal touches that make the day truly unforgettable. For Emily and James Parker, a couple from Savannah, Georgia, those personal touches came to life in a way they never expected—through a custom-designed toile de Jouy pattern from Hughes Studio. By commissioning a bespoke pattern that reflected their love story, Emily and James wove their most meaningful moments into the very fabric of their big day, creating a timeless celebration that felt uniquely theirs.

The Vision: A Custom Pattern That Tells Their Story

From the start, Emily and James knew they wanted their wedding to reflect the journey they’d shared together. As a couple who loved the charm of Southern hospitality and the beauty of nature, they sought a way to incorporate these elements into their vineyard wedding. After discovering the Hughes Studio Commission Package, they saw an opportunity to decorate their wedding and tell their story through art.

Emily and James shared the memories that defined their relationship: their first date horseback riding along coastal trails, the vineyard where James proposed, and the Southern bungalow they now call home.

The Custom Scenes:

1. A Horseback Riding Scene: This scene featured two riders on horseback, paying tribute to Emily and James' first date, symbolizing the beginning of their journey together.

2. The Vineyard: Capturing the moment James proposed, Hughes Studio illustrated rows of grapevines and lush greenery, reminiscent of the couple’s favorite vineyard.

3. Their Southern Bungalow: The couple's first home was a charming Southern bungalow, surrounded by palmetto trees. This sentimental scene represented the life they had built together.

4. Horseshoe and Pineapple Motif: Interwoven throughout the pattern, these symbols of luck and Southern hospitality reflected Emily and James’ welcoming nature and hopeful future.

The Creation: Designing a Bespoke Toile de Jouy Pattern

Hughes Studio transformed these personal elements into a seamless toile de Jouy pattern. Delicate details in soft blue on white gave the pattern an elegant yet understated feel, perfectly matching the couple’s refined yet relaxed aesthetic. The design was created in two versions—one large-scale for fabric and a smaller scale for paper products—allowing Emily and James to incorporate their custom pattern throughout the wedding.

Bringing the Pattern to Life at the Wedding

Emily and James ensured the custom toile de Jouy pattern was central to their wedding decor. They used the fabric version to create stunning table runners, adding a personal touch that guests couldn’t stop talking about.

The smaller-scale version of the pattern was used on their wedding invitations, menus, and programs, where the intricate horseshoe and pineapple motifs tied everything together. As a special touch, each guest received a custom handkerchief printed with the pattern as a keepsake, a beautiful way to share their story with those who celebrated with them.

A Keepsake to Treasure

After the wedding, Emily and James didn’t want to part with their custom pattern. They printed the design on canvas to hang in their home as a reminder of their special day and journey together. The timeless pattern, infused with personal meaning, became a work of art they would treasure for years.
