  • Spring Vegetables: Reception Ideas

    In continuation of our Spring Vegetables themes, I have found some great ideas for reception decorations and catering ideas. I love the idea of a vegetable stand, or alternative to the dessert tables that have gotten trendy the last couple of years. In my research, I saw so many beautiful decoration ideas that use artichokes; I think I’m going to have to do a set of artichoke-inspired posts in the near future!

    In continuation of the Two Peas theme, I have added some fun escort card designs! The vegetable paintings can simply be used as a continuation of the theme in the escort cards or can be used in conjunction with table themes, such as the asparagus table and the red pepper table.

    This concludes my first week of posting, and I must say, I am having a blast! I have so many other ideas bouncing in my head for this blog that I can wait to share with you. Have a great weekend!

  • Inspired by Spring Vegetables

    Painting by Hand-Painted Weddings.

    Spring is definitely in the air! Actually, some people in the Philly-area might argue that Summer is in the air these days, but that is besides the point. The point is that farmer’s markets, gardening and spring vegetables are in full swing, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

    One of my favorite routines on the weekend is to walk to the farmer’s market, specifically Headhouse Market, every Sunday. This past weekend, I decided to paint a few of my favorite veggies, peas, peppers, asparagus, and chives (which I guess is more like an herb, but grows in the spring garden nonetheless). Also, I have a soft spot for chives because they are so hardy and are always the first plant to pop up every Spring.

    There are many couples at my farmer’s market that appear to have the same routine as me, so it got me thinking…this could be a great theme for a wedding. Whether the theme is a farmer’s market wedding, a vegetable garden wedding, or wedding between two enthusiastic vegetarians, this could be a beautiful way to personalize your wedding.
    Note: You can purchase the painting of the asparagus and red pepper as a print in the Etsy Shop.
    The Roots Invitation and Two Peas Invitation are wonderful wedding invitation options for a farmer’s market wedding.
