    Hand-Painted Invitation: Autumn Leaves

    • by

    I know it is a bit early to be so excited for fall and that I should probably just enjoy every moment of summer while it lasts because summer is a pretty freakin’ awesome season too, but I can’t help myself!

    This invitation is perfect for an autumn wedding! Autumn weddings have become more and more popular here in the northeast the last few years. I tribute that to a lot of couples adoring fall foliage as much as I do. The bright colors in this invitation can’t be beat!

    I hope everyone has a great weekend! See if you can spot your first autumn leaf!

    Note: The Autumn Leaves Invitation is available for purchase under the Hand-Painted Weddings Shop Invitations tab!

    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.
