About
Live silhouette cutting using only scissors to create magical paper portraits in a minute of you and your guests.
Silhouette cutting makes a great entertaining favor at weddings and keeps the guests entertained during the wedding photographs! This is an extremely rare art form that many guests will not have seen before as there are only 6 artists in the UK!
Each silhouette is cut freehand using nothing but scissors in only a minute. You may have seen this on BBC2 Ultimate Wedding Planner where Silhouette Sarah was shown cutting silhouettes. Maybe you might have recognised Lady Whistldown’s silhouette in Bridgerton, Jane Austin's silhouette, or even the King on the stamp or coins?! It has a rich history dating back to the Regency period up to the modern day. Silhouettes are a great stylish flattering art form that guests of all ages like and that will leave guests with a great talking gift to remember your special day.
Sarah usually works for three hours as standard and can cut 70 silhouettes at this time. The Happy Couple will also receive duplicate copies of each of your guests for your own records.
Each silhouette is present in an attractive recycled card making it a sustainable keepsake. The mount cards can be designed to suit your wedding font and imagery. A silhouette emblem can also be made in advance of your special day from a photograph and can be used on all stationary. Some have even used them as cake toppers, on M7M sweets, jigsaws, or to create a large signing piece of art.
Silhouettes are great at weddings as entertaining unique and stylish mementos for you and your guests to remember your special day as no one can part with their portrait shadow!

The benefits to having a silhouette artist are:
- They are rare, so not many guests would have seen them before.
- It is a sustainable material and a great keepsake that people cherish for a lifetime.
- They are individually personalised to the guest and have a flattering resemblance.
- It is a fast-paced art form so more guests will receive one and they gate to take it away with them immediately and cherish their hand-cut miniature profile for life.
