    Wedding Invites Fashion Styling by Hand-Painted Weddings

    Last week’s invitation styling inspired (what I believe to be) a very interesting new way to photograph the Hand-Painted Weddings Shop Invitations. The idea is too connect fashion and invitation by styling the photographs with myself holding an Invitation in front of outfits that relate in design. This is a beautiful extension to the very human element of watercolors, by having a person holding the invitation.

    What sets Hand-Painted Weddings apart is the very human element that watercolor brings to your wedding. It isn’t digitized, just as the wedding that follows the invitation isn’t digitized or cookie cutter. A Hand-Painted Wedding is unique, human, and, of course, hand-painted.

    Ombres, coral pinks, and unexpected dip-dyed elements decorate the Hand-Painted Romantic Lace Reception. Accenting with pale aquas and natural textures like burlap or kraft paper is a perfect way to make your wedding reception casual and soft, while keeping the natural elegance of pink and lace.

    I think that is my favorite bit about this inspiration board. It can be very monochromatic and feminine, or it can transition to a more approachable, effortlessly elegant look, which would be perfect for a more casual wedding, with the addition of a few textural accents. All in all, this is a wonderful reception style for your spring or summer wedding.

    Romantic Lace Invitation by Hand-Painted Weddings

    Do you feel the romance in the air? The day before Valentine’s Day always brings a little bit of excitement as couples prepare for the next day’s excursions. This year my husband is planning a surprise night, so I am particularly curious and excited about what that could mean!

    Inspired by the romance this time of year brings, I designed a VERY romantic wedding invitation with a pink and red watercolor wash background, an overlay of white lace and wistful script text….oh yes, and a heart graphic adorning the text.

    The heart graphic may be too gushy for you, so this detail can be omitted if you choose to order the Romantic Lace Invitation. A little background on the heart graphic….it has a great texture that reminds me of two thumbprints making a shape of a heart. It was fun watching couples sign the Cobblestone Thumbprint Guestbook at the Lovesick Expo, because the majority of the couples signed their thumbprints next to each other like a heart.

    The Romantic Lace Invitation is now available to order in the Signature Invitations shop.
