Art In Wax : Encaustic Art By Hazel Rayfield
Original Miniature Art Wedding Stationery :: Posted by: Hazel on November 10th, 2019
How Miniature Art In Wax became part of a very special day.
Earlier this year a friend asked me to help her create the place cards for her wedding.
She and her husband to be, love country style and with a special infinity for all things “Stag and Doe”. She showed me the cake topper she had bought for the cake and with this in mind I painted the little miniature painting of the kissing Stag and Doe heads. The cake was a silver birch style which you can see in the photographs below.
Miniature Art
Painted in my Encaustic wax paints onto gloss card, the miniature painting is just 2 x 1 1/2 inches and is shown below in a tiny wooden frame painted black 2 x 2 1/2 inches. My husband took a photograph of the painting which after cropping became part of the wedding place card design.
Now the wedding has taken place I can show these …..
Wedding Stationery
As the idea evolved my friend and I designed her wedding invitations to match, and the wedding stationery theme was created.
Using my miniature painting, (a rarity ! I don’t often allow prints of my artwork) we created the wedding stationery design, which was then printed and the bride made her invitations and place cards, layering the printed card on gold and green card stock.
Unique Table Settings
The card holders were individually made by the grooms son, beautiful walnut wood craved and with a tree of life medallion set in. A very talented craftsman, he also made a wonderful Oak centre piece and Pine cake stand for the occasion. The wood was also local and sourced In the Southend and Wakering area by the family as they are arborists for their business.
I’m very proud to have my painting part of this wonderful occasion, we have had a fabulous week being part of the wedding with our great friends.

Well what can I say.
What Hazel created for our wedding was so unique and so much more than we hoped for. She is an extremely talented wonderful artist and would highly recommend her to everyone.
We had a lot of fun designing and tweaking the invitations and place cards and we feel truly honoured that she undertook this commission, and a first we believe, for us and what she created for our special day just completed it.
We can’t thank you enough Hazel, you are truly a very remarkable lady with a very special talent,
All our love G&K x
