    Photo booth Love by Hand-Painted Weddings

    February…the month of love! I’m going to start off the month expressing how much I love photo booths at weddings! My husband and I have been to two weddings with photo booths. One had the traditional booth where you are squeezed in a tight booth (and the photos come out on a strip). The other was the more modern approach to photobooths, where there really isn’t a booth, but a curtain or backdrop set-up and a photographer capturing the fun. I prefer the former probably because my goofiness happens behind a curtain rather than out in front of everyone, but both are super fun!

    I just received the photo on the right in a thank you card from the bride and groom…now, that was a great idea! Both photos are displayed prominently on our refrigerator.

    Here is more inspiration for your photobooth:

    I hope you consider looking into adding this super fun trend to your wedding!

    Still inspired by the unique fruit I found at the grocery story, Buddha’s hand, I’ve decided to create a bright and fresh lemon yellow invitation. The inspiration for a lemon yellow wedding is a breath of fresh (warm) air during this super cold day in Pennsylvania. It is making me yearn for summer and a tall glass of lemonade.

    Inspired by Satsuma Oranges

    • by

    A few years ago when I was staying with my friend Melissa’s family in Rome, they used to bring out a bowl of these beautiful little satsuma oranges at the end of the meal for dessert. I love that these oranges were a refreshing, little delight after a meal.

    Again, when I visited my brother Brian who studied abroad in Milan last year, I remember he used to have little oranges in his pockets as snacks.

    Needless to say, when I think of little oranges, I think of Italy, which always brings pleasant thoughts!

    Just as I adore apples with their stems and leaves still attached, so do I also adore these satsuma oranges with their leaves attached. They are so beautiful to paint…the bright oranges contrasting with the vibrant, verdant greens…mmm!
