Thank you for choosing handmade! I can't wait to help design something special for your wedding.
A wedding globe makes a perfect creative alternative to a guestbook. All the people who love you most can sign the globe, and you can keep it to display in your home to remind you of the happiness of your wedding celebration.
After many of you requested extra large globes for weddings with a lot of guests attending, I've found a limited source of HUGE XL 16" diameter globes. There are a very limited number of them, so if you want one don't wait too long.
This listing is for one 16" diameter wedding globe. The round ball of the globe is 16" in diameter and is hand painted with the ocean one color and the continents another color. The quote or names are hand lettered to match the base. You choose the colors to match the color scheme of your wedding, and if you need help with the designing process just let me know! I can talk with you, look at your Pinterest board, or use photos of other elements of your wedding to match colors for your globe.

GLOBE INFORMATION:
Many of these globes are vintage, repurposed, or upcycled items, so there may be small imperfections, but overall they are of high quality. Some of the globes may be topographical, so there will be raised portions where the mountains are. The 16" globes were once used in schools, so there is a small round hole in the base where they were mounted to desks (as seen in first photo). They also may have an indented ridge around the equator. They're sourced from someone who has combed through many schools looking for only globes in good condition, so they're in great shape. Because they are hand painted, there will be brush strokes as there would be on a painted canvas.
This size globe holds approximately 400 signatures, depending on the amount and size people write.
If you're not having a large wedding and you want a smaller option, there are 12" diameter and 8" diameter versions of these globes available in the shop (see links below):
