Some ephemeral moments must be given a memory,
because the temporality of an instant may radiate a twinkle of eternity.
~Erik Pevernagie
As a botanical artist, I love creating original hand-drawn bouquet portraits that commemorate the magic and wonder of your wedding day! Using rich colors, careful composition and detailed renderings, I capture the ephemeral magic of that wonderful moment for all to remember.
PORTRAIT STYLES
I offer two different styles of illustration:
Colored Pencil: These portraits are done completely in colored pencil and have a stronger emphasis on rich colors and a more realistic feel.
Colored Pencil & Ink: These portraits are done in colored pencil and fine-tipped ink pens and have a more stylized, whimsical feel to them.
I am typically only able to offer Pencil and Ink portraits with a detailed reference picture. Please be sure to let me know if there is a style you prefer and I’ll see if it will work with your reference photo!
You’ll receive the original hand-drawn illustration on 9x12 100 lbs. acid-free premium paper. Portraits will come with a simple presentation matting. However, glass framing is highly recommended to preserve and protect the piece from damage. You’ll also receive a digital copy of your portrait as a .jpeg, which will be delivered to your email address.
Each portrait will take 4- 5 weeks to complete. Shipping times will vary. Please allow for this time frame when ordering as a gift.
PRICING
Bouquet portraits start at $300. Final pricing is determined after reviewing the reference photo and bouquet details. Your portrait will be carefully packaged and shipped to you upon completion. Once it has shipped, the tracking number will be sent to your email address.
Payments may be made via Venmo, Square or check, and will be due in full at time of portrait completion.
TO COMMISSION A PORTRAIT
Simply email your request to info@serenafae.com. Be sure to send along your name and contact information in addition to a photo of the bouquet (more than one photo is always appreciated!). The better the quality of the reference photos, the more details I’ll be able to capture in the portrait. I’ll review the images and get back to you with any questions on design preference, and to finalize pricing and estimated delivery date.
GIFT-CERTIFICATES
Stylish gift-certificates are available. There is no expiration date, and the recipient can commission a portrait whenever convenient for them. I ask for an initial payment of $275. to purchase the certificate. Any balance due must be paid once the artwork is finished. If you have any questions or would like to purchase a gift-certificate, please contact me via the Contact form or at info@serenafae.com.
