    Rock Sculpture: Reception Ideas

    • by

    There are a lot of little ways to incorporate the rock sculpture idea into your wedding. Many of which are very inexpensive. My favorite idea, which I don’t think has ever been done, is to make a Rock Sculpture layered cake! Wouldn’t that be wonderful!! The other details use stones in creative ways as pictured above. Idea descriptions below from top left to bottom right.

    • Stones with handwriting on them to act as escort cards.
    • If you are having a small, intimate wedding, you can get sheets of rocks (that are usually used as tiles) from Home Depot or Lowes and use them as placemats.
    • Guest book messages on stones. I love this idea! Just make sure that the glass canister is thick!
    • Putting stones on the bottom of candle holders is very easy way to incorporate stones into a centerpiece.
    • Getting an artist friend to draw artwork on stones with a Sharpie marker that guests can choose from as favors. These can act as paper weights or table decorations in guest’s homes.
    • I love the idea of shaping little stones into hearts if there are any open tables that need a little decor.
    • Lovely Rock Sculpture inspired color palette I created.

    The Rock Sculpture theme works beautifully in a beach or desert-themed wedding. I also think it would be lovely in a garden wedding.

    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.

    The Rock Sculptures Invitation is available for ordering under the Hand-Painted Weddings Invitations tab.

    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!
