confession

I never planned to become a wedding invitation artist.

But in between shifts as an X-ray tech, I decided to teach myself watercolor as a way to relax. It was love at first brushstroke, especially since I’ve always had a keen eye for detail and a passion for the natural world.

I founded Priscilla Basilio Design Studio shortly after.

As your wedding invitation artist

I like to think of myself as a storyteller whose medium happens to be paper

(and watercolor, of course)

I craft hand-painted wedding invitations and day-of paper for couples who see paper not as another box to check, but rather a way to set the tone for their event—and create a future heirloom.

When I’m not in my studio, I’m spending time with my husband and our two pups at our house near Boston, Massachusetts. I can always make time for a brisk walk outside, a new episode of one of my true-crime podcasts, curling up with a good book, and my interior-design boards on Pinterest.

you should know that...

Every piece of artwork, from watercolor illustrations to line art, is created in-house by me.

While I have a team that helps me with admin and mailing, I never outsource my artwork.

There truly is no limit.

When you choose me as your wedding invitation artist, you get unlimited custom art. If you can imagine it, I’ll draw, paint, or design it.

Gift-giving is my love language.

Let’s just say you can expect a few surprises throughout the custom stationery process.

My door is open to all couples.

I pride myself on creating a welcoming space for you, your loved ones, and everyone else, no matter who you love or how you identify.

Stunning, elegant, personal.

I’ve received hundreds of messages or compliments already about our wedding invitation suite. Most said it’s the most beautiful and charming invitation they’ve ever seen.
