Soft washes and tender light, the classic picture-book feeling, painted warm.

A Wedding Gift No Registry Can List
Registries solve the kitchen. They do nothing for the story, and the story is the whole point of the day. A book that tells how the couple found each other, illustrated from their photos, is the gift that gets passed around the table at the reception.
Best commissioned by the maid of honour, the best man, or the parents, the people who watched the story happen. Art nouveau suits a formal wedding; minimalist line art a city-hall one; watercolour suits everyone.
It also works beautifully as the couple's gift to each other: the vows in book form, ending on the wedding day, with all the pages after it still unwritten.
Styles that suit the occasion
Four illustration worlds we reach for most often. There are twenty-four in total.
Art Nouveau
Flowing lines, floral borders and gilded elegance from the Belle Époque.
Minimalist Line Art
Elegant continuous-line drawings, modern, intimate and gallery-worthy.
Impressionist
Loose brushwork and dappled light, as if your story were painted en plein air.
