    Joining The Wedding Mile marketplace

    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.

    Hand-Painted Romantic Lace Reception

    Ombres, coral pinks, and unexpected dip-dyed elements decorate the Hand-Painted Romantic Lace Reception. Accenting with pale aquas and natural textures like burlap or kraft paper is a perfect way to make your wedding reception casual and soft, while keeping the natural elegance of pink and lace.

    I think that is my favorite bit about this inspiration board. It can be very monochromatic and feminine, or it can transition to a more approachable, effortlessly elegant look, which would be perfect for a more casual wedding, with the addition of a few textural accents. All in all, this is a wonderful reception style for your spring or summer wedding.
