Wedding, anniversary, golden wedding
The wedding gift they’ll still remember thirty years from now.
Not just another envelope: the newlyweds, on a work of art that will follow them through life.
The idea
What an envelope will never say
The registry is closed, the honeymoon fund is doing the rounds, and here you are, facing the same old dilemma: the raclette set will end up in a cupboard, the envelope will melt into the travel budget. None of it will say what you actually wanted to tell them.
What you are looking for is the gift that remains once everything else has been used up: their story, hanging on the wall of their first living room. A painting made of their faces (theirs, both families’, sometimes an absent loved one’s) says it better than any card.
The couple’s portrait, seen before you pay
For a wedding as for an anniversary, the safest gesture is still the couple’s portrait: the two of them, in a style that turns a photo into a work of art.
The Family Portrait offers a wedding category among its painterly styles: you upload one photo of each of them, choose the mood, and the preview appears in about twenty seconds. Free of charge, before any payment, you only order if the likeness wins you over, and the painting is redone free of charge if it does not.
Golden wedding: giving the first day its colours back
Photo Restoration starts from the original print (their wedding photo, found in a box or an album) and gives it back its colours, its sharpness and its faces before turning it into a framed painting. Fifty years on, they see the first day better than they ever saw it. It is the golden-wedding gift that moves the whole room to tears.
The Realistic Portrait completes the tribute: the atelier composes the impossible photograph by hand, today’s whole family gathered around yesterday’s couple, or the absent brought back into the picture. You order first; the preview arrives by email within 24 to 48 hours, two revisions are included, and you are refunded as long as nothing has been printed. Fine Art framing starts at €89 here.
The guest’s gift that beats another envelope
The Editions set the couple’s photo, just as it is, into a carefully designed template: a movie poster bearing their names, a series poster, or the retro gazette that puts their story on the front page. It is the quintessential gift from a best man, bridesmaid or guest, personal without being solemn, and nobody else will have had the same idea.
What they will actually receive
- A Fine Art framed painting, matte paper and real wood frame: 30 × 40 cm at €79, 40 × 50 cm at €99, 50 × 70 cm at €125.
- Or a stretched canvas from €39.90, a large-format canvas from €69 to €105, a framed canvas from €95 to €135, an acrylic-glass print from €85 to €149.
- Designed in France, printed in Europe, delivered ready to hang in 4 to 7 working days, free delivery from €60.
- Our promise: a true likeness, or redone free of charge. And on instant portraits, the preview is free, you only pay once you have seen it.
Their photos, finally, remain strictly private: they are used solely to create the painting, are never reused, and their deletion can be requested at any time.
Choosing well
Choosing well, without second-guessing
Four questions to settle before the date, especially if the painting has to be there on the big day.
Which size for their home?
In a bedroom or an entrance hall, the 30 × 40 cm framed print (€79) is plenty. Above a sofa, the 40 × 50 cm (€99) is the most popular choice. For the centrepiece of a living room, go for the 50 × 70 cm (€125) or acrylic glass (€85 to €149). When in doubt, the 20 × 25 cm canvas at €39.90 fits anywhere, even on a shelf.
Which photos work best?
One photo per person is enough, no need for a picture of the couple together. Choose faces that are sharp, front-facing and well lit, without sunglasses. For a golden wedding, the original print will do even if it is yellowed or torn: that is precisely what restoration is for.
How far ahead should you order?
Ten days or so ahead for an instant portrait: the preview appears right away, then allow 4 to 7 working days for production and delivery. For a Realistic Portrait composed by the atelier, allow two weeks: the preview arrives by email within 24 to 48 hours, with two revisions included.
Instant preview or atelier work?
If you have a good photo of each person, the instant portrait is all you need: you see the result before paying, and it is redone free of charge if the likeness is not there. Leave the delicate compositions to the atelier: the big day recreated, a departed loved one, both families in full.
