The Perfect and Most Personal Touch To Our Wedding Day

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect addition to our wedding day than Trudi from Scribble & Sparkle, our incredibly talented illustrator. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a warm, calming presence while seamlessly capturing the magic of the day as it unfolded.

One of the most special parts of this experience was that Trudi helped me keep it a complete secret and surprise for my husband until the big day. She was so discreet and thoughtful throughout the planning, which made the reveal even more magical and unforgettable for both of us.

Our guests were absolutely delighted to receive their portraits—it was such a unique and thoughtful touch that made the experience even more memorable for everyone. Each illustration was beautifully detailed, full of personality, and truly reflected the joy of the moment.

Not only is Trudi’s artistic talent outstanding, but her professionalism and friendliness made her a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was organised, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.

We will treasure these illustrations forever—they are more than just artwork; they are heartfelt keepsakes from one of the most special days of our lives. We cannot recommend Trudi at Scribble & Sparkle highly enough to anyone looking to add something truly special and unforgettable to their wedding.

Highly recommend!

We were absolutely blown away by Trudie at our wedding. The drawings were stunning and the beautiful glitter added such a magical, special touch. Our guests were amazed watching the sketches come to life and loved taking them home as keepsakes. It was such a unique and memorable addition to our wedding, and we will treasure our sketch forever. Highly recommend!

Amazing talent, 1000% recommended

Trudi live sketched at our wedding last week.
I found Trudi on instagram a while ago, I knew I liked the idea of live sketching and when I come across Trudi and saw how pretty and unique with the glitter touch her paintings were I just knew I needed her at our wedding.
From the get go, Trudi was always responsive to my enquiries and emails.
Trudi was one of our main talking points at our wedding, our guests loved seeing Trudi in action and then finding their finished paintings, their reactions were amazing and the paintings were just the perfect wedding favour.
Trudi is amazingly talented, friendly and professional, I could not recommend her enough for any event, especially weddings!
Thank you Trudi x

Live Wedding Illustrator

Scribble & Sparkle Illustrator was an absolute highlight of our wedding and worth every penny. From the very beginning, Trudi was incredibly responsive, helpful, and professional in all of her communication. She was also very flexible with her packages, working with us to perfectly suit our needs, which we really appreciated.

On the day itself, Trudi was so kind, warm, and wonderful with our guests. Everyone loved the illustrations, and watching them come to life was such a special part of the celebration. They were by far the best wedding favours we could have given, they are truly unique, personal, and meaningful.

We will treasure our illustrations always, and they are such a fantastic memory of our big day. We couldn’t recommend Scribble & Sparkle Illustrator more highly and would absolutely recommend them to others looking to add something truly special to their wedding.

A wedding Gem

We wanted something a little different and unique for our Castle wedding and to be able to give our guests something so personal and as a memorable reminder of their day not just ours.

Trudi is amazing. Super helpful deciding on what we would need for the day.

Trudi was a surprise element for our guests and went down a storm everyone was so impressed with her talent. We looked through the drawings on stands and could easily pick out who was who. Everyone was over the moon with their personal portraits !!

Our wedding couple drawing was just fantastic and captured every detail - aside from marrying my husband this was one of the highlights of the day.

Best decision we made

We wanted something different for our wedding something that involved the guests. And also something personal they could take away.
After finding Trudi online we were really lucky she was available. After seeing the work she’d done on Instagram, I knew she’d be the perfect addition for our big day.
Trudi was amazing from start to finish she did not stop. The guests loved going up and watching, seeing if their portraits had been finished. And were all thrilled at the end when they received them. I’ve had so many people say how lovely it was and how much they loved their pictures. And what a nice unique touch it was to a wedding day.
Our picture Trudi made is taking pride of place on our wall.
I would highly recommend booking Trudi for your big day it’s a fantastic addition and she’s so friendly and fantastic at what she does.

Trudi is amazing!

Trudi is amazing! I have had her illustrate a few personal things over the years but to have her at our own wedding and share her amazing talent with our friends and family was incredible and everyone loved their drawing they received on the day!
