    Hand-Painted Weddings at Lovesick Expo!

    • by

    Hand-Painted Weddings is happy to announce that we’ve been accepted into the “elite array of local talent” at the 2013 Lovesick Expo on Jan. 13 in Philadelphia! I am so excited to have a vendor table at this event. I went to the 2012 Lovesick Expo and had a blast! It had such a cool mix of people at it.

    All of the vendors target couples who are looking for something a bit different than the mainstream wedding. It is also very guy-friendly and same sex couple friendly, which is important to me. The event is more like a fun party than a convention, with live bands and performances. To view photos from last year, go here. Tickets go on sale soon. I hope to see you there!

    Here are the event details:

    World Cafe Live

    3025 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104

    In the Studio: Custom Peacock Invitation

    • by

    I recently worked with a couple who was interested in a custom peacock invitation design. The couple came to me with a decided theme, but I am happy to work through a few ideas or ask a series of questions to help create a great concept for your invitations!

    This custom theme was a lot of fun because I was able to work from a still life…the peacock feather (shown above). The bride shared with me a few details about their wedding plans, which helped me in the creation of this invitation, such as the bridesmaids’ dress color (turquoise), the wedding venue wall colors (soft teal), and the couple’s overall desired color combination (jewel tones). I love hearing about all the details of a wedding!

    The couple decided to print their invitations on a warm white/cream paper instead of a bright white.

    Please see the Custom Invitations link to view the details of the Custom Invitation Process.

    Work in Progress: Commissioned Watercolor Succulent

    • by


    Here is a sneak peak of a commissioned watercolor I am currently working on. This is a 5″ x 7″ painting that I am working on from a beautiful photo that the client provided. It has been a lot of fun to work on! The colors are fantastic!

    Succulents have been on my wish list to paint for awhile. I just might end up doing a succulent wedding invitation in the near future!

    If you are interested in my commissioned watercolor services, please keep in mind that the subject matter doesn’t have to be wedding-related; the skies the limit! Contact me here for more information.
