KNOXVILLE – Simply Jessica Marie, a family-owned and operated watercolor lifestyle shop led by Founder, Owner and Artist Jessica Peddicord, debuted the reimagined Crest Bar on September 22nd. The Crest Bar provides families, businesses and more with artistic heirlooms designed to commemorate the places, people and symbols that mean the most to them. Offering heartfelt personalization, The Crest Bar allows clients to select the floral border, monogram, icons and colors that best represent their lives, passions and stories.

The watercolor artist originally launched the Crest Bar in April 2019 and has since created over 175 elegant and meaningful crests for families across the world. The new, elevated concept will feature a library of over 100 hand-painted icons, including career and hobby selections, as well as accent selections – such as family and faith symbols – that tell each family’s story throughout their crest.

The expansive icon library will now offer readily available pet portraits encompassing a wide range of breeds to easily showcase the family’s four-legged friends – an option that was previously only offered as a crest upgrade. Prioritizing inclusivity, the artist will also offer additional country and state silhouettes, as well as religious symbols, among other new, beautifully curated icons. Simply Jessica Marie will frequently expand the icon offerings in an effort to consistently evolve the Crest Bar throughout the months and years.

“Our goal is to easily and quickly provide the finest hand-painted, personally designed crests to any couple, family, business or art lover at the best value imaginable,” said Simply Jessica Marie Founder, Owner and Artist Jessica Peddicord. “The Crest Bar’s wide variety of readily available floral border, monogram and color selections – as well as the ever-growing, handmade icon library – empowers clients to swiftly personalize their artistic heirloom while simultaneously empowering our family to bring each crest to life within a matter of weeks.”

Families can also further customize their crests with upgrades such as updating their pre-existing creation with fresh additions to reflect new milestones or meaningful symbols; adding a vector file for foil, letterpress and one color ink; customizing their crest colors; and adding a second monogram.

To make the most of their watercolor heirloom, families can invest in pieces from the Crest Shop that they will cherish for years to come, including can huggers, pillows, cocktail napkins, stationery, cheese boards, tea towels and more. The Crest Shop will additionally be debuting a range of new products following the Crest Bar launch. Going above and beyond industry standard, the artist also offers families unlimited personal use of their crest’s digital files for print and web, allowing them to have it printed on wedding or home decor details from any vendor they prefer.

Now available to the public, crests begin at $575. To commission a crest or discover more of Simply Jessica Marie’s thoughtful and whimsical products, please visit simplyjessicamarie.com.
