"A truly awesome touch to a wedding! Bernadette painted my wedding as a surprise to my wife, and the experience could not be better! We did the interactive package, and all the guests loved being able to contribute to the painting - Bernadette was great at guiding them through what to do all the while putting together a beautiful painting. Communication and everything has been fantastic throughout the process — I highly recommend them!" — Sebastian Caruana

Interactive Element, Teresa showing guest how to add their brush mark.Interactive Element - Completed painting with guests marks within the layers of the finsihed work.
- OPTIONAL INTERACTIVE ELEMENT
Create a buzz and include your guests in the unique experience of adding a brushstroke to your painting. We offer 3 options for guests to contribute to which are all background elements. We mix the colours and provide a memorable photo opportunity. Guests are not allowed to paint the couple or add anything that is not exsisting in the painting. The brushstrokes of the guests are layered into the finished work.
Once a guest has added their brushstoke we ask them to write a message to you. These messages are adhered to back of the framed painting as way to remember all those who have had a hand in the creation of this stunning memory. We provide babywipes and aprons to keep your guests clean.
If you choose the interactive option we recommend choosing a moment earlier on in the day.We find that the most artwork interaction is during the canapes/cocktails in the interim between the ceremony and reception. Moments that work well are the kiss at ceremony or walking out after the ceremony together.
- FRAMING
Once the painting is completed, we will generate a digital mock-up of the three framing options you can choose from (Tasmainian Oak, White, Black). This helps you to visualise how your artwork will look before commiting to the frame.
We then work with our framing partner to custom build and assemble the frame. This process can take up to two weeks. Once the framing is completed we will be in touch to organise the delivery or local pick up of your artwork.
Cost: $7650
