Join us for the must-attend bridal show of the season!




We are excited to be a part of Cinderella4aday's Princess and Paws Bridal Extravaganza, an “out of the box” bridal show experience that promises to be fun, exciting, and memorable! Featuring 5 star photographers, top notch florists, custom candy buffet displays, live entertainment, DJs, a cigar lounge, a belly dancer, a fashion show,  (featuring “doggy couture!”), and more, this event will go above and far beyond the average bridal show, and can't be missed!
Even better, a portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to Wish Upon a Wedding, a nonprofit wish granting organization that provides weddings and vow renewals for couples facing terminal illness and serious life altering circumstances.
A good time and a great cause – this truly unique event can't be missed!

Wedding Flowers!

Hi, it's Alyssa of Cinderella4aday again!

Going through Eddies Hand Painted Things, I started thinking about wedding flowers.  Wincilla can create any flower you want on her hand painted stemware, from popular wedding blooms to unexpected choices.  That's one of the beautiful things about her work -- she can create any design you desire to match your decor!

Want something traditional, like the gorgeous tulip-covered cake below? Eddies Hand Painted Things can create functional favors to match (including your color scheme)! 



Looking for something a bit less traditional in your wedding decor, but still want to include beautiful natural touches? For fall weddings, autumn leaves can often be substituted for flowers.  Wincilla would be happy to create a commission for any design element you want!

An Inspiration Board from Cinderella4aday!

Cinderella4aday, a wedding and event coordinating team based in the Hudson Valley, is more than excited to guest blog on Eddies Hand Painted Things! New and creative ideas are right up our alley, and we're so excited about Wincilla's work.

I (Alyssa) fell in love at first glance with the glassware shown in the post directly below.  Their beauty is multifaceted; they're obviously gorgeous and colorful, but they also evoke happy times and memories.  My absolute favorite is the Pink Pansies (second from top -- you can see the purple version here).  I love them so much that I wanted to make my first ever inspiration board!

The Pink Pansies give me a summery, old-fashioned feeling, and made me envision a summery, old-fashioned wedding! I'm not envisioning one strong theme, just a fluid, lovely mix of intimacy, the outdoors, and vintage touches.


The picnic basket and blanket occurred to me because I visualize my uncle's old dishes, utensils, and tablecloths - not to mention his finesse in presentation - and I can picture the class and elegance they would add to the day.  The painted stemware would take it to a whole new level!

Thanks for stopping by Eddies Hand Painted Things!

Favors with Function

It dawned on me the other day that many of you were not aware that Eddies Hand Painted Things also offer favors, as we always promote bridal party stemware and all occassion gifts.

Are you tired of the same old wedding favors that you can find everywhere? The kind that you quickly discard as you get home? Would you like favors that are not only elegant but personalised and practical too? Well let me introduce you to Eddies Hand Painted stemware favors.

These are smaller 10-8oz. 7" stemware, which are pesonalized with your wedding theme, colors, flowers and guest's name. A wedding planner friend Jadana Donley of Red Carpet Event Planning suggests that you use the favor both as a place setting and water glass...very functional! Now here's a gift that you guest would appreciate and remember your day for years to come.
