Wedding Sculptures - A Very Personal Gift

Are you looking for a very personal and totally unique wedding present?
If so, why not commission a wedding tableau. Alternatively, look at the lovely watercolour of a wedding below. These romantic personalised watercolours are done exclusively for Driftwood Dreams by 'Lyndsay Russell', a local artist.  Normally, you can only commission her work via a gallery or agent. As our overheads are low, we can make the prices of original watercolours incredibly competitive.

I can make an elaborate and personalised wedding card to present to the bride and groom.  After the wedding you can email me a photograph and I shall endeavour to finish the commission by the time the happy couple return from their honeymoon or as soon as possible.

These commissions were actually for first anniversaries but would equally suit a wedding gift.

Scottish wedding sculptured in paper for anniversary present

Here is a Scottish wedding set by a loch complete with family tartan.

All these commissions of weddings were designed from photos sent by e mail. In each case a design was provided for approval by email before the work was started.

So you could actually have a border with snippets from the invitation, actual confetti and items from the reception decoration, even the bouquet.

 

Wedding Display and Engagement Sculpture

This shell wedding centre piece was designed to hold the seating plan in an oyster themed wedding. The two hands were based on a favourite photo of a couple after their engagement. Both the hand sculpture above and the wedding at the hotel further down the page use confetti in the sculpture. The confetti was picked up at an actual wedding as well!

Gordon wanted something very special for his wife especially as he was late with the present!  He came to my house, discussed his wedding and we came up with this commission. Ten days later he picked it up completed. 

Gordon e mailed me ".............it was fantastic,  went down very well and in all honesty I probably couldn't of chosen better, this of course made possible by your work."        Gordon B.

Naturally, I was thrilled.


 Volkswagen in Cotswolds

The Volkswagen sculpture not only captures a special moment but included the van (now sold) and their dog (now sadly passed on) so this combo could never be photographed.

 


Personalised Original Watercolours

Romantic by nature, 'Lyndsay' has been inspired by the notion of painting couples on their wedding day. If you like, the wedding could be part of a collage of images that form a larger picture. This may include the bouquet, church or reception venue, the cake and other items.

Lyndsay can paint a lovely watercolour of the venue of the wedding. This would make a beautiful wedding present. This picture was of Tynley hall.

She is happy to come up with sketches to show her lovely ideas and has agreed to work at competitive prices to offer these stunning presents.  Normally, her work would command significantly higher prices but by cutting out agent & gallery costs we are able to bring you a fantastic offer.

'Lyndsay' has kindly agreed to sign each original in her normal fashion. You can look at more of Lyndsay's work on our >>Romantic Gifts.

Prices from £85.00 without delivery or frames.

Wedding DVD

Another very unique option is to have your wedding photo set to music with a choice of linking themes running throughout. A recent sample is available for you to look at.
55 photos were used to create a fabulous DVD set to Celtic music and featuring favourite photos which interchanged through bubble of water. Please ring to discuss.

Prices from £150.00
