An Artful Wedding Keepsake

If you’re looking for a unique way to commemorate your bridal gown, consider a beautiful, high fashion illustration of the gown that you can display in your home or office. Sapphire Shiohwan of sapphireIllustration.com specializes in creating sketches of bridal and special occasion dresses (anniversaries, quinceañeras) — even your bridal shoes if you prefer! Just send Sapphire a photo of you in your gown (along with a brief description of the dress), and she will create an 11” x 14” pencil sketch ($70). You can also request a watercolor illustration ($80) and add a frame matted to fit the illo for an additional $15. I also think it’s a great gift to a bride from her bridesmaids (girls, get out those camera phones at the fitting!). Here are a few examples of Sapphire’s work from other happy brides:
