yeah! I love the artist idea! And she looks like she was REALLY GOOD! That deserves to be published on this site so everyone can see the idea!! We actually had a canvas that a local artist did a vase on, and then the pix was passed around the wedding with oil colors so everyone at the wedding could add a flower to the vase for us. We keep that in our bedroom on the wall now.That was a surprise that my sister-in-law came up with and I love it. BUT- YOURS -with a REAL ARTIST!!! Looks like a renoir from the shot!!! I'd love to see a pix of it!! All your shots are great! congrats!

oh my gosh i love the idea of the artist creating an oil painting of the first dance. that's so neat. where did you get that idea? I have never seen that done before. I love it because its something everyone can appriciate being done as part of the entertainment, and afterwords you two will have that painting to cherish forever. LOVE it

Love the blue linens and your amazing centerpieces! But WOW that is sooo freaking cool that you have an oil painting of your reception made during your wedding!!

I love all the blue! Did you change dresses halfway through? Cheers to you both!

Beautiful centerpieces.
