Creating a truly unique and special wedding means thinking outside the box and trying out new ideas. That's how I came up with the idea of painting a colourful canvas guestbook that goes beyond the ordinary to capture the essence of our special wedding day in a truly unique and memorable way.
Canvas guestbooks allow your guests to write special messages that you will be able to hang on your wall and cherish forever in the form of a beautiful work of art. The guestbook instantly became a focal point for our wedding day and guests absolutely loved getting creative and feeling like they were contributing to something we would hang in our home for many years to come. If you love the idea of a canvas guestbook, read on to find out more about the process and meaning behind these special pieces!
The Process
Creating your one-of-a-kind canvas guestbook is a collaborative journey that begins with your vision. Simply choose the colours that resonate with your wedding theme, drawing inspiration from your flowers, bridesmaids' dresses, decor, or venue. Send across any visuals or inspiration that you would like me to take on board for the commission.
Bringing Your Vision to Life
Once I have a clear understanding of your preferences, I'll curate a personalised mood board that reflects the colours and atmosphere of your wedding day. This ensures that every brushstroke and hue aligns perfectly with your vision. We want your canvas guestbook to not only be a functional keepsake but also a stunning piece of art that complements your wedding decor on the day, as well as for many years to come!
The Guestbook Experience
On your big day, your canvas guestbook will take centre stage, inviting your guests to become part of the artistic process. I'll provide 10 Posca pens (acrylic markers) for your guests to sign the canvas, adding their own personal messages and well-wishes. A small sign will guide them on what to do, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to contribute to this meaningful artwork.
A Timeless Keepsake
After your wedding day, your completed canvas guestbook becomes a cherished memento of the love and support shared by your friends and family. Display it proudly in your home as a reminder of the joyous celebration and the beginning of your journey together as a married couple.
