Your wedding was gorgeous - I wasn't even there, but I know it was gorgeous! You did such a great job planning out the details. 

Now the wedding day is over, and you're happily married. 

What did you do with your bouquet? Try to save it? Throw it away when it turned brown and lifeless? Turn it into potpourri? 

Let's make a custom abstract oil painting inspired by your wedding bouquet. It will be a beautiful way to remember the joy, beauty, and celebration of your wedding bouquet. And it's a great way to start decorating your home together if you haven't done that! (You got all those kitchen gadgets and towels and bedding from the registry, but that doesn't help with the empty walls.)

the process

The Painted Bouquet process is specially designed to be the EASIEST way to commission a painting. You just planned a wedding, you don't need to make decisions about this now too! You can take a break from making decisions because the decisions are made for you on this custom painting - size, color scheme, imagery. All you have to do is say "yes" (and I think you have practice with that one). Okay, you also have to send me photos of your bouquet, but that's minor details. 
  • Tell me a little about your wedding & send me some photos of your bouquet! (or send me all the photos you want from your wedding! Remember - I wasn't there, so I want the opportunity to tell you how great you look in your dress & how amazing the whole thing looked!)
  • If your wedding hasn't happened yet, we'll chat again about 6 weeks after your wedding when you've got photos back. 
  • I'll crop your bouquet photo down & send you a mock up to approve. Ask any additional questions you have about the process. 
  • We'll do the contract & invoice details, and then I'll get to work on the painting. 
  • The painting will take approximately three months to complete. Near the end of the process, I'll send you some in process photos!
  • Once completed, I will send you a final invoice. I'll ship the painting once payment has arrived.
  • Enjoy! You will have a keepsake from your wedding day that you can have on display & use as the centerpiece for the home you are building together. Joy can be found in bright colors, flowers, & the celebration of your love.  
Your commissioned painting of the wedding bouquet costs $400.
  • $200 is due at the time of booking, and $200 is due once the painting has been completed.
  • The cost includes:
    • the 16"x20" oil painting on canvas*
    • domestic shipping
    • a certificate of authenticity

The painting will take approximately three months to complete and dry once started. 

* Your painting will not come framed. The edges are painted black so you do not need to frame the painting if you don't want to. If you do want it framed, you are able to do so at a professional framing shop & pick out a frame that matches your decor.
I'm so happy you're married! That's such a beautiful thing. I cannot wait to be a little part of it when you commission a painting of your wedding bouquet. There is so much joy in the beauty of flowers and celebration. The painted bouquet is a great way to start decorating your home together and a constant reminder of the beauty of your wedding day. 

Let's make something beautiful!

FAQs

What if I want to give a commissioned painting as a wedding/anniversary/Christmas gift?
Love this for the happy couple! Check out the gifting page, and let's make this happen! 

What if my wedding hasn't happened yet?
Not a problem! In the booking form, I ask when your wedding date is if it hasn't happened yet. Chelle will email you approximately 6 weeks after your wedding to ask for photos of your bouquet. Make sure you let your photographer know that you want some great shots of your bouquet.

What if I'm worried about the quality of my photos? 
If you have any concerns about the quality of your photos or are questioning if your bouquet would make a good painting, send me an email at chellethepainter@gmail.com with some photos, and we can take a look and see! Your wedding was a beautiful day, and I want to make sure that your painting is a beautiful preservation of that day. 

Why does it take three months to finish a painting?
I know that seems like a long time! UGHHH! I work in oil paints, and they take longer to dry than acrylic paint. It's a bit of an inconvenience, but I think they are worth the wait. I love the rich colors and expressive painterly qualities that I am able to achieve with this painting style. Usually it will take me about two months to finish the painting and about a month to let it dry enough that I feel comfortable shipping the painting.

Chelle Diederich

I love bright colors & joyful imagery in my paintings. My signature style with the lines are inspired by stained glass work. 

I love to buy myself bouquets of flowers. The wilder looking, the better. I'm not particularly a fan of roses (shhh don't tell them, they might get offended!).

​My favorite things at weddings are the dessert & dancing! I'm a fan of celebration.
