Last year I was asked to create a seating chart for a bride that would incorporate the couples' silhouette and the feathery theme she was using throughout her wedding. The bride did wear feathers in her headpiece, but I saw no parrots flitting around the groom.
It was one of the most unique weddings I have ever been asked to work on.
I started with the draft above, using the photo the bride sent to me below.
The bride is an artist and was a student at Parson's School of Design at the time we were working on this and had a very strong idea of what she wanted, so I was ecstatic when my sketch was approved! It is so hard working for another artist; trying to imagine what they visualize ~ but this bride was fantastic!

...and voilà ~ here is the final piece.
It was such a fun and lively wedding! As soon as I receive some of her wedding photos, I will do a featured wedding and tell you all about it, post her invitation suite ~ which was one of my all time favorites and show you the large, oversized menu I designed.
I have been following along for some time now...And I just wanted to tell you I love your work!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a gifted artist!
I always look forward to seeing what you've been doing!
Have a fabulous weekend

So original Dana and it looks like two creative minds worked together. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the ensemble. Hope all is well. XO

I love how you came up with the idea of putting the parrot on his shoulder. Beautiful my friend. xo
ReplyDeleteLovely work Dana! "Your perch for the evening" - how clever is that? Your lettering and illustrations are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I agree -- "Your perch for the evening" -- very clever. Check my blog - couple of posts back - to see what my cousin's wife did for their son's wedding. The bride and groom wanted my soap for favors at the reception. They decorated them perfectly for a beach wedding!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Dana...I love it...the sketch, the layout, the feel of it...everything. It is lovely!
