As many of you know, I am always scouting for new and different products that relate to weddings.  Because a wedding is such an important day, a cornerstone of your life, here is something that I think is really special.  There is an artist here in town that makes custom portraits, and while I knew that she made custom “house” portraits, I never put 2 and 2 together, to realize that it could also make a tremendous wedding gift.  Let me explain.

Here is a photo of the Cabanne house in Forest Park with the inclusion of her daughter and now son-in-law in the painting.   This was where her daughter and son-in-law celebrated their vows, and what a wonderful, yet affordable, piece of art.  Note that depicted in the artwork on the front porch is the couple themselves in their wedding attire!

This custom portrait that will be hung in their home will always bring back memories of their special day. Compared to cost of the wedding, this is a small investment for a cherished keepsake.  If you have chosen a venue that has meaning to you, this would be a gift that would always be welcomed – so brides put this on your gift list.  You can see more of her work at www.customhouseportraits.com.    You can reach Richelle at richelle@customhouseportraits.com.
