Spice up your wedding
Whether it’s live watercolor portraits, custom stationery, or hands-on art experiences, everything we do is designed to make your day unforgettable.
More than just art
With Wild and Beautiful Art, you’re not just hiring another vendor—you’re inviting a joyful, artistic experience into your day. Yes, you’ll get beautiful, frame-worthy artwork, but you’ll also get:
A fun, enthusiastic presence that hypes up all your guests
Personalized attention and thoughtful touches from start to finish
A stress-free, professional experience (with lots of laughs and happy tears)
Keepsakes that your guests will actually want to keep
A meaningful connection and memories that go far beyond the painting
Live Watercolor Guest Portraits
Starting at $2400
Let’s turn your guests into gorgeous works of art—live and on the spot! As your guests enjoy the night, we will work non-stop to finish as many portraits as possible. Each individual guest takes about 5 minutes, but we also have add-on packages so I can finish the remaining guests at home and send their portraits at a later date.
What’s Included:
Live watercolor guest portraits at your event
Personalized details (outfits, accessories, florals—you name it!)
Protective sleeves and packaging for guests to take their art home
A watercolor painting for YOU, the couple, too! This is done before the wedding so it can have extra details
Travel within Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland included. Further locations may incur a travel fee.
Perfect for weddings, showers, and events where you want something extra special.
Custom Stationery
Starting at $1500
Say goodbye to cookie-cutter invites and hello to everything you didn’t know you were envisioning. I work directly with you to design stationery that feels like your love story—from dreamy venues or pet illustrations to custom-cut shapes. Each piece is designed to captivate your guests from the very beginning.
What’s Included:
Custom design of wedding invitations, save-the-dates, menus, place cards, signage and more
Hand-painted watercolor elements unique to your story
Print coordination and assembly
Add-ons including wax seals, ribbon, vellum wrap, dried florals and more
I’ll take anything you’ve ever imagined and make it come to life.
Collaborative Art Guestbook
Starting at $2000
Looking for a fun and totally original way to engage your guests? Let’s create a collaborative art piece together. I’ll set up an art station at your event where guests can add their own touch to your venue painting, with guidance. By the end of the night, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind piece made by everyone you love.
What’s Included:
A fully hosted, interactive art experience that’s fun for everyone
Pre-designed canvas tailored to your day
All materials provided (paint, brushes, signage, etc.)
Color-matched florals specific to your wedding
Final artwork touch-ups and professional finishing after your event
It’s like guestbook meets bespoke art… but curated especially for you.
The Experience Working with Brenda
What am I like at weddings?
Let’s be honest, I’m a blast! Okay, but actually I will fully be that person who will be singing along with all your guests, definitely going to be complimenting their style, and I LOVE to let kids paint with me!
But in all seriousness, I will be there for you, to reduce stress and add joy to your day in any way I possibly can. From the first phone call, to the final delivery of your paintings after your wedding, I make the process easy, personal, and actually fun. I’ll walk you through everything, help you choose the right service(s), and tailor each detail to reflect your style and vision.
By the time your event rolls around, we’ll feel more like friends than anything else – and I will be personally invested in having it be the very best experience for everyone!
FAQs
You’ve Got Questions? I’ve Got Answers, hit me with ‘em
-
I book a limited number of events per month to give each one my full attention, so I recommend reaching out at least 3–6 months in advance (10–8 months for stationery design!). That’s not to say I won’t be able to accommodate you, just that chances are lower the closer to the event.
-
Absolutely! I LOVE a good road trip (or plane ride). Travel fees may apply depending on the location—let’s chat!
-
Great question! I can usually paint 10-12 guests per hour, depending on complexity. We can chat about your guest count and the best fit for your timeline. Any portraits that don’t get completed during the wedding will be sent to you after to give out to your guests!
-
Umm, yes please! Bundling services means everything will feel super cohesive—and I offer special package pricing when you book more than one.
-
I will definitely take requests if I believe that it is something I can do and if it is not copying another artist's work!
-
Logistically, it is very difficult so unfortunately, this is not an option for me at this time.
-
When you place your order I ask for you to send me some pictures of the people who will be in your portrait. I can combine several different pictures to make them flow seamlessly into one portrait.
-
Yes! This is actually my favorite thing to do because these paintings make the most amazing gifts to open on the morning of your wedding. I can work off of dress fittings, hair trials, suit fittings, and pictures of loved ones to have your painting ready before your wedding!
-
No. Nope. My hand would fall off my body. I paint all the separate elements for your invitation suite, upload them to photoshop, work my magic, then send them to a printer. When I receive them I check each one while I assemble them to make sure that they all look okay before shipping them off to you!
