The Hand-Painted Winter Frost invitation is a beautiful choice for your winter wedding! In the Northeast this season we’ve been lucky enough to to have quite a few mini flurry storms.

A couple of weeks back at the Lovesick Expo in Philadelphia, I raffled off the Hand-Painted Weddings Cobblestone Thumbprint Guest Print.

I love the idea of having a winter wedding that has accents of refreshing oranges. It is so unexpected, yet completely seasonally appropriate. It really has a lighthearted sense to it also. I have seen a lot of pear-themed, apple-themed, and even lemon-themed weddings, but not really orange-themed weddings. I’m not sure why. An orange-themed … Read More

The Hand-Painted Pumpkin Invitation features a couple of orange pumpkins, one a bit smaller than the other. As I had stated before I think that the stems are the most interesting part of a pumpkin so I really zoomed in on the upper half of the pumpkin on the right in the invitation design. I … Read More
The Hand-Painted Succulent reception is soft and a bit ethereal.

The Birds of a Feather Save-the-Date would be beautiful in conjunction … Read More
