Paper Anniversary.
We all know that a 25th anniversary is celebrated with silver, a 50th with gold and a 60th with rubies, but
did you know that the
1st anniversary is paper?
Could there be a more wonderful paper gift than a watercolour painting
of a bridal bouquet?
Commissioning Siān couldn't be easier. More than that, she really hopes you will find the whole experience exciting and enjoyable!
Who
can commission Siān?
Anyone!
From the bride and groom, family member to guests...
Paintings have been commissioned by the
bride, by a new husband for his new wife, by a guest for the happy couple's home...
As a 'Thank You!' from the groom for the bridesmaids
(perhaps of their bouquets), or from the newly weds for their mothers (perhaps of their corsages)...
And later, Sian's paintings make
unusual and very special anniversary gifts ~ 1st, Silver, Gold or Ruby!
How do I commission Siān?
The first step
is to contact Siān to arrange an informal discussion. She can listen to your ideas and offer suggestions. Siān can explain how she
works, and together you can discuss the practical details, which might range from such important things as the budget, to the
fun and games that can be had in planning a surprise!
When everyone is happy with the details and these are agreed in writing you can
start looking forward to receiving a very special and beautiful painting.
When should I commission Siān?
Whenever you are ready!
Siān's
preferred method of working is to see the flowers for herself so that she can make sketches, colour notes and take her own photographs.
However, this is not always possible, so she has devised methods of working that still enable her to produce stunning paintings
from just photographs, but if it is possible to get a sample of the flowers, that's better. Her advice is to give as much notice
as possible to give the best opportunity to gather reference material, whether before the wedding or after.
Whether you commission
a painting for yourself or as a gift this will be a real treat that will be treasured for years to come.
