    Inspired by hand-painted wedding cookies

    If you can believe it…these are cookies! Hand-painted wedding cookies to be specific! They were created by Maggie Austin LaBaugh, a very talented cake artist! Her cakes also have a very painterly quality to them, so you will have to check out her work in her portfolio!

    These cookies are modern pieces of art. They would be gorgeous as wedding favors for any modern wedding, but particularly appropriate for a reception that takes place in an art gallery. I could definitely see an entire wedding theme, including wedding invitations, being inspired by these cookies. Just gorgeous!

    Joining The Wedding Mile marketplace

    • by

    The Wedding Mile

    Hand-Painted Weddings is testing out an additional marketplace called The Wedding Mile where customers can order their hand-painted invitations, guestbooks, and save-the-dates. I am really excited to join this new marketplace because I believe that the target audience is very similar to the Hand-Painted Weddings market, couples who desire a unique, handmade wedding.

    A little bit about The Wedding Mile marketplace:

    “We are artisans, artists, craftspeople, inventors, trendsetters, and lovers of all things wedding. We are mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, students, storeowners, busy bees, and commerce constructors. We offer one-of-a-kind, unique, customizable, unusual and wonderful products!”

    Click here to view the new Hand-Painted Weddings shop on The Wedding Mile and be sure to click around and view work from other talented artists.

    Wedding Invitations and Fashion Styling

    Wedding Invites Fashion Styling by Hand-Painted Weddings

    Last week’s invitation styling inspired (what I believe to be) a very interesting new way to photograph the Hand-Painted Weddings Shop Invitations. The idea is too connect fashion and invitation by styling the photographs with myself holding an Invitation in front of outfits that relate in design. This is a beautiful extension to the very human element of watercolors, by having a person holding the invitation.

    What sets Hand-Painted Weddings apart is the very human element that watercolor brings to your wedding. It isn’t digitized, just as the wedding that follows the invitation isn’t digitized or cookie cutter. A Hand-Painted Wedding is unique, human, and, of course, hand-painted.
