Weddings and silhouettes go well together. Some inspiration for using silhouette art at your wedding in new and interesting ways.
AS A SILHOUETTIST it’s an odd feeling to have a son working as a wedding photographer. Odd, because silhouettes and photography have a close and fascinating historic relationship (more on this below).
SILHOUETTES are all about memories. Of all the things I do as a silhouettist, one of my favourites is to create a collage-style print of all the silhouettes cut at a wedding.
WEDDING SILHOUETTE WALLETS include your names and (if you wish) your silhouettes on the cover. They are simple and easy to make, and a great way to ensure your guests will remember your wedding every time they see their silhouettes.
SENDING A THANK YOU to all who attended your wedding is a lovely tradition. You can now send a card featuring your own silhouettes, cut by me on the day, to everybody as a memento of your special day.
WHEN WORKING as a wedding artist I aim to provide a deluxe, boutique service. There are many ways to present silhouettes at events, but I recommend this wedding package which includes all the extras I feel work best at weddings and which people most often ask for.
CUTTING a full-length silhouette of a bride, live on her wedding day, is always a heart-stopping moment. There’s the bride, surrounded by her closest family and friends on her big day. What could possibly go wrong?
DURING 2015 I NOTICED a lot of couples adding a wedding cake silhouette to their cakes. This is a great way to bring the theme of silhouette into the wedding. Some of the cakes are really creative.
WORKING AS A SILHOUETTIST at events, I do get some odd requests. Such an occasion happened a few weeks ago, while I was cutting caricature silhouettes at a student ball. The event took place at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel near Heathrow in July 2010.
