That’s it! It was really simple and fun on our wedding day! We used acrylic paint and I found that it was a little thicker than I would have liked while pouring it! A tiny bit of water mixed with the paint should fix that! We didn’t want to ruin the linen at the venue so we picked up a pan to let the paint drain into. You could use any color canvas, but we chose white so that the color paint we wanted would show up!Ģ.

It ended up being about 1/3 water, and 2/3 paint, but it is important that you test out the brand of paint that you buy, as well as the type of container that you put it in! My formula was not scientific by any means, but I kept track of about how much of each color paint I mixed, as well as how much water. Because our colors were navy and gray/silver, we had to mix both of them to get the correct shades to match everything else. To test it out the most important thing was figuring out how to mix the paints. (This was a really good idea, because then we used the image that we tried it out on as a decoration at the wedding, and so that guests had an idea of what we were doing while we were actually making our Unity Painting during the ceremony.) We made the image of the heart about 2 weeks before the wedding to test out how we had to mix the paint and how it would flow onto the canvas from the type of container we were using to pour it.

I really got into all of the decorations that I made, and it was easy to think of original ideas for that, but the one thing that I really struggled in making my own was the ceremony.
