Cute, quirky and completely different to the normal wedding favour!
Kirsty was fabulous from start to finish. From enquiry to completion of the job. Always with a fast response, happy to answer questions and adapt around our twilight wedding. We booked the drawings as a surprise for our guests, and they absolutely loved it. Cute, quirky and completely different to the normal wedding favour. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again Kirsty

Guests absolutely loved this wedding favour!
Lucy was very professional and friendly from the offset. We were both very excited to see the outcome of her work after the wedding and cannot wait to receive our drawing (once we receive our professional photos!). Now our guests have a very special momento that they can hang onto for years to come. My MIL is in a wheelchair and Lucy drew her standing which she absolutely loved and was very touching. Thank you Lucy!
