  • Lily Commissioned Watercolor Painting

    Lily painting by Hand-Painted Weddings

    Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing a commissioned watercolor painting of this pretty golden lily plant I created awhile back. I’m pretty surprised I didn’t share this painting earlier…I think it was because this painting was a surprise birthday gift for someone and I didn’t want to spill the beans!

    I love the overall warmth of this painting as well as the depth and perspective in the background. This commissioned watercolor painting was created based on a photograph the client took at the Philadelphia Flower Show. Side note…I’m totally that person taking crazy amounts of photos at the Flower Show too!

    The weather has turned exceptionally warm and sunny this week in Philadelphia and this painting seems to resonate with that warmth. If you are you interested in purchasing a commissioned watercolor, contact me for more information. Have a wonderful weekend!

  • A More Intimate Glimpse on Instagram

    Are you following me on Instagram? If you want to catch a more intimate glimpse of the behind the scenes at Hand-Painted Weddings, then you should definitely follow me on Instagram. I’m spending a lot of time narrowing down my focus on Instagram to include photos and videos that Hand-Painted Weddings followers would enjoy and many of these sneak peeks are exclusively shared on Instagram.

    I love connecting with people on Instagram. I would say it is my favorite social media platform, for sure. Also, even though Instagram is mainly a phone app, it just changed their web format, so definitely check it out….spoiler alert — the images are bigger…yay!

  • Now Offering Watercolor Save-the-Date Magnets

    Watercolor Save the Date Magnets by Hand-Painted Weddings

    Hand-Painted Weddings is now offering watercolor Save-the-Date magnets! Save-the-Date magnets are fantastic because they don’t get lost (well, unless you have a lot of refrigerator magnets). The other fun thing I’ve noticed about Save-the-Date magnets is that they tend to stay on people’s refrigerators long after the wedding because they are pretty and decorative!

    The most common Save-the-Dates have photos of the couple on them, but unless you have chosen to have engagement photos taken or have a friend who is a professional photographer take photos of you and your fiancé, it can often be challenging to find a photo that feels right to be reprinted for all your close friends and family….especially given the life and visibility of the Save-the-Date magnet. That is why I’m offering another option to the Photo Save-the-Date magnet.

    As I start to build my shop with some “Signature design” options, feel free to contact me about your custom Save-the-Date magnet ideas.

    The Autumn Leaves design above is available. Contact me for more information.
