    The Rock Sculptures invitation features playful yet elegant typography. The color palette is beautifully soft.

    There is something very spiritual about this invitation. It hints at the delicate nature of life, while also symbolizing the powerful culmination of events that a couple goes through to get to their wedding day.

  • Made my Day: Homage to my Husband

    Painting by Hand-Painted Weddings.

    This blog post is a little homage to my wonderful husband, Carl, who surprised me with a dozen yellow roses last week at work and who again surprised me last night with second row tickets to the theater production, Beauty and the Beast. Do I have the sweetest husband or what?!

    He delivered the roses personally to me at my office last Wednesday. It was so cute, because it was maybe the second time I ever held a meeting in my office instead of the conference room, and a VP, Associate VP, my boss, and my coworker were all in the office to view the adorable gesture. They were just-because flowers, which really are the best, aren’t they?

    The Beauty and the Beast tickets were birthday presents, but I had no idea how close the seats were going to be until we were walking up the aisle. The production was fantastic! The roses are still blooming beautifully! And after 10 years together (2.5 years married), Carl and I couldn’t be happier!

    Note: You can purchase this painting as a print in the Hand-Painted Weddings Shop.

  • Inspired by Rock Sculptures

    The last two Aprils my husband and I have been lucky enough to take vacations in Sedona, Arizona. We both love Sedona! It is so different from our hometown, Philly (even though we love Philly too!). We love the red rocks, hiking trails, fresh air, and calm energy of Sedona. I also love the nature-focused spirituality of many of the residents there.

    One of the beautiful features of Sedona are the rock sculptures. You primarily find these rock sculptures guiding hikers up trails and at energy vortex sites. I did a little research and it looks like these rock sculptures are mainly influenced by Zen Buddhism and traditionally found at meditation temples.

    I think they are a beautiful little symbol of human connection.

    The Rock Sculptures Invitation is now available in the Hand-Painted Weddings Invitation shop.
