Summer may be coming to an end, but wedding season is still in full swing. It can often be difficult to find that *perfect* gift for the special couple, or bridal party that has stood by your side for your big day. The best gifts are the ones that come from the heart and are perfect for everyday use. For this upcoming fall season, we have put together a list of special wedding gifts — all customizable for that incredible couple, bridesmaid, or groomsmen you hope to say “thank you” to.
Watercolor Portraits
Jane De Custom Watercolor Portraits creates stunning custom, hand-painted watercolor portraits. Whether a gift for a wedding couple, or the wedding couple themselves, the opportunity to transform a beloved wedding photo into a gorgeous custom painting is magic. The process is simple to order: just choose a painting size, upload your desired wedding day photo, and review the preliminary sketch provided, before your finished, custom watercolor portrait is mailed to your home — just like that! Jane has recently started a live wedding painting service, where you can hire her to capture the newlywed couple in a scene of your choice at the venue. This is the perfect gift for a newlywed couple to commemorate a truly special day in a unique way.
Bouquet Preservation
Another wonderful way to preserve lasting wedding memories, is to gift your bride with a framed bridal bouquet. Olive Branch Studios thrives on preserving sentimental bouquets for brides, creating a little piece of the day just for her. Up to eight days after a ceremony, you can gather the bride’s bouquet and ship it to the company to have it preserved in a frame of your choice.
