    Hand-Painted Reception: Back-to-School Inspired

    • by

    The Back-to-School wedding theme starts out with the wedding party traveling in style in a school bus! Inexpensive and fun!

    Then there is chocolate milk with fun striped straws and paper bag guest gift bags filled with treats. There are escort card apples, customized No. 2 pencils, globes, and books used as reception decoration. There are so many fun ideas for this wedding!

    Back to School wedding invitation now available in the Hand-Painted Weddings Invitation shop.

    Hand-Painted Reception: Harry Potter theme

    • by


    The most enchanting way to incorporate the Harry Potter floating candles theme into your wedding is to find a vendor who will produce this magnificent display for you. I would recommend not using real candles though…don’t want wax dripping on your guests heads.

    My husband, Carl, proposed to me with a book, so I certainly have a soft spot for this idea….putting the ring in a Harry Potter book! I love how this person specifically chose the chapter “The Unbreakable Vow” as the reveal with the ring!

    If you have resources and live near Maryland consider hiring Charm City Cakes to make a smaller version of their Hogwarts Castle cake that was featured on Ace of Cakes.

    This is an example of an escort card that I designed for a Harry Potter themed wedding. The Sorting Hat seemed like the appropriate painting for this one because it is sorting guests to their table numbers.
