Inspired by Harry Potter

My husband and I love the Harry Potter series. So much so that we did the midnight showing when the last film came out. It was such a memorable experience. Besides observing all of the fantastic costumes people wore to the opening, one of the highlights was a hand-written piece of paper in the bathroom stall pointing to the toilet that said “This Way to the Minister of Magic.” It was so clever that I wish I had brought my phone to the bathroom to take a photo of it! I’m currently making my way through the movies again.

I did this painting for my husband for Valentine’s Day. His favorite character is Dobby. My favorite character is Luna Lovegood. What is yours?

The Lavender wedding is full of grace and serenity. No bridezilla would be attracted to this theme.

The beautiful thing about lavender is that it can be added to any element of a wedding (as you can see by these pictures).

Hand-Painted Invitations

Hand-Painted Invitation: Lavender

The Lavender Invitation is very breezy and calm. It evokes warm afternoons wandering through the quiet rustle of lavender fields.

This invitation is feeling a bit like traditional flower invitations, but takes on a painterly approach. The painterly approach allows it to feel more relaxed and breezy. This would be perfect for a couple who loves summertime and wants to incorporate this lovely, calming herb into their big day. This would also be perfect if the couple was moved by the expansive lavender fields in Provence.

In case you didn’t recognize it, this is the finished painting from the work in progress painting I posted yesterday.

The Lavender Invitation is available for ordering under the Hand-Painted Weddings Shop Invitations tab.
