Are you looking for an elegant, unique way to commemorate an important wedding in your life?

Enter: the pen and ink wedding bouquet portrait!

Bouquets are some of the most gorgeous details of a wedding, yet they can also be the shortest-lived. Dried bouquets are lovely, but not the same, right? Artist Hannah VanDuinen is here to capture the beauty of your wedding bouquet at its peak bloom, as vivid and full as the day you held it in your hands.

Custom Wedding Bouquet Portraits

From photo to portrait:

The Process

I work from your favorite photo of the bouquet in question, using a dip pen with a flexible nib and waterproof ink to capture each bloom. Then, using smaller, thinner strokes, I add a little shading to give the piece dimension. At this stage, I can either leave the portrait a stylish black and white, or I can add a watercolor background to softly contrast the linework in the bouquet.

What I Need From You:

  1. A close-up photograph of the bouquet

  2. Any specific design notes you might have, including guidance on leaving the background white or adding watercolor

What I Will Return:

A gorgeous, custom wedding bouquet portrait (11” x 14”) commemorating your special day through the magic of art. Each bouquet takes approximately 1.5 - 2 weeks to complete.

The Price:

A bouquet portrait is $200.

Payment is due up front; I will invoice you when I receive your desired photo. If you would like a watercolor background, the total is $210. Please note that I cannot schedule your portrait until I have received payment.
