    Hand-Painted Weddings on Twitter

    Hand-Painted Weddings Twitter

    This past weekend the Hand-Painted Weddings Twitter page got a little makeover. I have been on Twitter for a few months now but only recently have paid some attention to it. I find it to be a great way to network amongst the wedding industry, and get some attention from some businesses that I may otherwise have not. It is a lot of fun to see an email pop up that such-and-such business is now following you…it’s like wow, I feel honored that you want to follow me!

    I’m definitely still learning how to best use this social media vehicle. If you are a beginner to tweeting like me, here are a few great articles to get you started on your Twitter strategies for your business.

    In the Studio: Preparing for Lovesick Expo

    Engagement Painting by Hand-Painted Weddings

    Painting by Hand-Painted Weddings.

    This week I’m working hard on preparing for the Lovesick Expo this Sunday!! I can’t wait to meet everyone at the expo. It’s going to be a blast.

    I’m enlarging this painting I did a couple of months ago as a gift for my cousin and her husband. I purchased the frame for it yesterday and I’m going to be hanging it on my backdrop at the expo.

    Contact me if you are interested in pricing for a commissioned watercolor. This would be beautiful as art on your Save-the-Date or framed at your reception, which would, of course, look gorgeous on your wall after your wedding.

    My husband took this candid photo of me painting with his Iphone. I want to take more of these and share them with you! I think they are super fun!

    Hand-Painted Invitation: Lemon Yellow

    Lemon Yellow Invitation by Hand-Painted Weddings

    The Hand-Painted Lemon Yellow Invitation is inspired by the Buddha’s Hand fruit. It is bright yellow like a lemon, but has geometric shapes that represent the fingers of this unique fruit. This invitation would be great in conjunction with a lemon themed wedding, or any sunny summer wedding.

    I also love how the watercolor shapes in this invitation resemble a stained glass window with the white borders looking like the grout between the panes of glass. More specifically it reminds me of the stained glass at the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. For those of you who don’t know, the Sagrada Familia is a cathedral designed by the artist Gaudi in a very gothic style. It is one of the most unique cathedrals! I visited the cathedral about 9 years ago, and have very vivid memories of strawberries and other fruit used in the sculptures, and I remembered how bright and beautiful the stained glass was!

    This invitation beautifully bridges a modern and more traditional aesthetic with its mix of geometric shapes, soft watercolor splashes and hand-painted lettering.

    The Hand-Painted Lemon invitation is now available under the Invitations Shop.

One question I’ve been asked countless times over One question I’ve been asked countless times over the years is, “How long does it take you to paint?”
And honestly? I struggle to answer.

Because when I’m painting, I lose track of time. I get completely in the zone. If you’re an artist, you know that feeling—the hours disappear, and suddenly I look up and realize I’ve been painting for far longer than I intended.

And I rarely paint something just once. I’ll often come back to a piece throughout the day, or even over the course of a week, adding details I notice from a different perspective. 

Those details matter.
They’re part of why my couples choose to work with me—but I think it’s also the love I put into every single painting.

Because these aren’t just illustrations of a place.
They’re little pieces of a moment you’ll get to keep forever.

Brittany and Nick got married this past weekend at Brittany and Nick got married this past weekend at the beautiful Beaufort Hotel in North Carolina! Their invitation suite featured four venue paintings! The couple wasn’t interested in a wedding crest/monogram so I did a painting of their church top and centered on their invitation card. Beaufort Hotel from the view of the water is painted along the bottom. In a similar fashion the Morehead Country Club was painted along the bottom of their rehearsal dinner invitation.

A special congratulations to Ali and John who got A special congratulations to Ali and John who got married this past weekend at Harbour Town Clubhouse in Hilton Head! Their coastal wedding suite featured a fun painting of the lighthouse on their save the date. Their invitation was a formal one with wedding crest and was wrapped in a watercolor vellum wrap featuring their venue (probably my favorite touch). #handpaintedweddings #watercolorwedding #hiltonheadwedding
The bride is an interior designer so her attention The bride is an interior designer so her attention to detail was top notch. She truly had the most elegance and pristine vision for her destination wedding at @belmondhotelcipriani in Venice, Italy. 

For her save the date I painted the Hotel Cipriani boat along the canal with the historic San Marco square in the background. I also painted Baroque architectural details in “Venetian pink” on the corners. Those elements were repeated on the couple’s invitation which featured a soft painting of the venue along the canal. A custom illustrated map was also painted in their suite—to get guests excited for their trip! The bride found these beautiful Venice inspired frames for her wedding day paper and I drew from the inspiration, along with the sculpture on top of the columns in Piazzo San Marco to paint a little lion detail for their escort cards. I also added an elegant oval shape to many of her signs which is a subtle, luxe touch I like to add if the designs are very simple.

This welcome party at @belmondhotelcipriani in Ven This welcome party at @belmondhotelcipriani in Venice, Italy was nearly as fancy as the couple’s wedding day so I worked with the bride to separate the look of their wedding day paper. The welcome party took on an elegant garden party aesthetic complete with fruits and colorful florals and accents of pewter. While the wedding was elegant neutrals with ivory and gold. 

There was a custom menu with a brushed lettered name on it that opened upwards with the guest’s specific meal inside. This brushed lettering continued on the drink menu and sign for the watercolor artist that was on site @studiosheean Custom luxe ivory cocktail napkins with a simple bright green monogram was handed out with the drinks.

It was a warm day full of love, 3 years ago! My dr It was a warm day full of love, 3 years ago! My dream wedding. Planning happened in such a kismet way—we got married in the side yard of a friend of a friend’s father’s mansion, which I painted on the wedding invitation and welcome sign. I also gifted the original to him as a thank you. ☺️ It was an intimate 50 person wedding so I considered all the little details from handwritten thank you cards on the ceremony chairs, to bug spray station, time capsule guestbook, a cutting cake made by my mom, and 6 signature drinks to choose from (more than I’ve ever painted on a client’s signature cocktail sign). Our wedding was garden formal and full of beauty (and love of course). Memories. 🥰
