Watercolor Wedding Invitations
The Perfect Pear theme has a bit of a vintage touch to it, but not in an overly ornate way. It has an organic appeal while remaining very cozy, warm and romantic. It is the perfect theme for a sunset wedding in the Autumn with golden light streaming in during dinner.

Seckel Pear Save the Date now available in the Hand-Painted Weddings Save the Date shop.
The Seckel Pear Save-the-Date has a lovely vintage feel to it. It would be great for the couple who is having a lot of vintage elements in their wedding. I think this vintage aesthetic works wonderfully with an Autumn wedding. There is something so cozy and charming about it. Also pears are seasonally appropriate for a wedding during the fall.
Have I mentioned that Autumn is my favorite season? It is the season of learning and slowing down to notice all of the subtle changes in the air. It is crisp air, warm colors, charming pumpkins, apples galore, light jackets, and fantastic scarves!
The Seckel Pear Save-the-Date is now available for ordering under the Shop Save the Dates tab.

Today I’m sharing with you one of the special elements of my own wedding…my wedding cake! As you can see one of the themes I incorporated into my wedding was the lovebirds theme. I grew up with birds as pets, so I really wanted to bring in this adorable theme to the design of our wedding.
The most special part of this wedding cake is that my mom made it! Each layer was a different flavored cake. I have a fond memory of trying out one of the chocolate cake recipes before the wedding (by myself) and being so tired and frazzled from all the wedding plans that I forgot the sugar AND the baking powder. Yep, that cake went into the trash. Needless to say, after that incident I gave my mom full reign over the design and production of the cake. My only stipulation was that I didn’t want it to be white…that would be the rebel in me.
This cake was so delicious! My favorite flavor was the carrot cake! Don’t I have such a talented mother!
Also, one little element my mom added was the bird on the gourd sitting on the table below the cake. She told me that this bird represents her and that she was watching over the cake and Carl and I as a couple. So sweet!
