Hand-Painted Reception

  • Hand-Painted Pumpkin Reception

    This has been a busy week/weekend, but I didn’t want you to miss out on the Hand-Painted Pumpkin Reception ideas which completes Pumpkin week, so here is a rare Sunday night post.

    Whether white or orange, whether painted, decoupaged, or naked, pumpkins are a beautiful element to add to your festive fall wedding. They work beautifully as escort cards, in table settings, or lining the aisle at your ceremony. They would also be very cute as guest gifts.

    Pumpkins can be paired with their traditional counterpart colors, burgundy and plum, or they can be paired with bright, cheerful colors like fuchsia and bright green. If you opt for white pumpkins, they pretty much go with any color palette, but look particularly great with neutrals like beige, brown, and black.

  • Hand-Painted Succulent Reception

    The Hand-Painted Succulent reception is soft and a bit ethereal. Succulents, like origami cranes, are small elements that can really sneak into any wedding design element, for instance, as cake toppers, amongst table decor, inside bouquets, or as escort cards that second as wedding favors. Above I have only shown real succulent decor, but there are also succulent-shaped candles and jewelry.

    If you are interested in making your own slate succulent displays Terrain has graciously put a DIY tutorial on their site, that you can view here.

  • Birds of a Feather Hand-Painted Reception

    The Birds of a Feather wedding is whimsical yet earthy. It isn’t fussy. It has an organic and natural appeal.

    For your reception decor, feathers work beautiful amongst textures of burlap, lace, or twigs. The Birds of a Feather wedding works wonderfully amongst a neutral or soft-spoken color palette, which is perfect for any season.
