The Beginning
If you were born in different cities, states or even countries like my husband and I, a map of each of your hometowns is a reminder of where you’ve come from and who you are as individuals. It’s a lovely representation of everything that had to happen to bring you together, so hang them proudly side by side!
The Proposal
Whether the question was popped in your own backyard or a far flung destination, there’s always a story to go with it! In that moment, you made a promise to become partners for life. A map featuring the date and coordinates of this declaration of love is the sweetest souvenir.
The Wedding
The setting of your wedding will forever be remembered as the place you committed to one another surrounded by the people you love most. Whether you exchanged vows at an idyllic country estate or inner city restaurant, it holds a special place in your heart and deserves a spot on your wall.
The Honeymoon
No matter how many people are around, this is all about the two of you basking in newlywed bliss. Did you plan the trip of a lifetime filled with incredible experiences or find a romantic hideaway to relax and unwind after the big day? Choose where to display this one carefully as it will prompt daydreaming!
Married Life
Purchasing a new home, planning new adventures, welcoming new family members…there’s a lot to look forward to in this next chapter of your lives. Create a gallery wall filled with the places you’ve lived, visited and treasured for a daily dose of the warm and fuzzies.
My Mapiful
I happily strolled down memory lane while searching for the perfect location to capture, and settled on the South Coast of New South Wales in Australia for my Mapiful. It’s a beautiful area of dramatic coastline and rural farmland that has always been a part of my life. In a single poster, I was able to capture where I was born, where I got married and all the happy memories created there in between. I love that this map is more than just an artwork. It tells a story and evokes a feeling.
