    In the Studio: Whimsical Hot Air Balloons

    Hot Air Balloon Painting by Hand-Painted Weddings

    Can you believe it is almost fall (I can’t!)? It has been such a lovely summer so far…I’m not quite ready for it to end yet! To keep the lovely summer vibe going, I thought I would paint this whimsical watercolor of hot air balloons flying above the plains.

    There is something so magical to hot air balloons. I don’t often see these colorful hot air balloons flying overhead now that I live in the city….although, most days, I do see the Channel 6 Zooballoon above the Philadelphia Zoo!

    This week is going to be a warm one in Philly, so I plan on soaking in the last bits of summer and then start embracing the next season, my favorite, Autumn!

    Only the Best in Envelopes

    Envelopes available at Hand-Painted Weddings

    Lets talk a second about envelopes. I believe that envelopes are the biggest small thing you can do to add punch to your wedding invitations. You make a first impression with an envelope.

    A fun, colored envelope provokes excitement in the receiver, because that person knows he/she has just received a special piece of mail. A colorful envelope separates itself from the standard birthday cards and “other mail” which usually come in white envelopes.

    At Hand-Painted Weddings, we offer the best quality envelopes as an upgrade option. They are sturdy, opaque, and have beautiful European flaps (pointed). This allows for the option of having the return address centered on the flap instead of being on the front in the top left corner.

    The color options in this envelope collection (as you can see) are plentiful, so have fun! Why not pick a different color envelope for your response envelope than your outer envelope to add to the wow factor!
