Your Guests want this over Favors - trust me!

Working with Lena was incredible! First of all she was so sweet but she is a quick responder, an incredible value ad to any event and so talented. We loved working with her but our guests LOVED their portraits even more. We got so many complimnents on how cool people thought it was to get a handpainted portrait of themsleves. Lena was fast at responding and was super helpful at helping us figure out where the best place for her was. Would book her again in a heartbeat. You are a work of art on your special day and deserve the best - BOOK HER!

A unique gift for your guests

For our wedding we wanted something different and unique for our guests to experience, and a little something for them to take home to remember our special day. After chatting with Lena we knew Bristles and Design was exactly what we were looking for! Lena was very communicative and awesome to work with. The live watercolor paintings were a huge hit at the wedding! Everyone loved the personalized, custom portraits of them and their loved ones and families. If you're thinking about a live watercolorist for your wedding, do it! Thank you, Lena for adding the perfect touch to our wedding.
