If you are anything like me, you wait until the last minute to wrap and tag your Christmas gifts. I do this because I like to see all of the presents for one person together to make sure there isn’t anything missing. This is also a recipe for procrastination and usually results in a panic, but nonetheless it is my tradition.
If you are last minute like me and don’t have gift tags yet, please download these gift tags courtesy of Hand-Painted Weddings as my gift to you this holiday season.
Today is a very exciting day at Hand-Painted Weddings! We are doing our first ever giveaway (and it is a really good one!). You can win this beautiful 108″ Raw edge veil from Simply Bridal. This cathedral length veil is a perfect accessory for your wedding ensemble! I am a huge fan of cathedral length veils! They are unbelievably elegant and whimsical! Also, because this veil has a raw edge (meaning there isn’t any detail along the edge), you can easily get your seamstress (or a friend) to trim the length of it if is too long.
Cathedral length veils are not just for church weddings! I wore a raw edge cathedral length veil and I was going to get married outside in a courtyard (until it rained), and then actually got married in front of a romantic fireplace in a rustic mill.
It is that time of year again! Holiday card time! I have been designing my own Christmas cards for a few years now, and the last two that I hand-painted have been my favorites! This year I was inspired by the song, “Walking in a Winter Wonderland” and the glistening of winter forests.
I love snow days (I mean who doesn’t, right?). I love cuddled in a warm blanket on the couch watching the snow fall. I really have a zero tolerance to driving in the snow, so anytime it snows you’ll find me at home. Although I do love walking through the snow in the city. You know, before it gets all dirty and mushy. It is interesting because I am such a city girl, but I am also such a cabin in the mountains girl. I suppose this card was more inspired by my cabin in the mountains side!
Also, it is a little hard to tell from the photos but there is some metallic silver watercolor paint highlighting bits of the trees, and the envelope is a lovely shimmer warm-white. Can’t wait to send these out to my friends and family this week!
