Your flowers last a day; your painting lasts a lifetime.
I'm Ella Cairns, an artist based near Leeds. I make art for life's most meaningful moments. I paint wedding bouquets live at receptions and draw guest portraits on the day, so you keep the feeling of your wedding long after your special day.
Live Wedding Bouquet Painting
I set up quietly at your reception and paint your bouquet while the day happens around me. Guests love watching it come to life. You take home a one-of-a-kind original, professionally framed and ready to hang.
- Signature (live on the day): A4 £695 · A3 £895 · A2 £1,195
- Keepsake (after your day): painted from your wedding photos, from £295
Live painting runs for 3–6 hours, depending on the size of the painting and how your day flows.
Live Guest Illustrations: The Portrait Booth
Guests drop into my pop-up Portrait Booth during the drinks reception or evening, alone, as couples or in small groups. Each portrait is hand-drawn on premium postcard card in about 5–8 minutes, so every guest leaves with something made just for them. It's a wedding favour people actually keep.
- The Classic: up to 2.5 hrs, from £395
- The Signature: up to 4 hrs, from £595
- The Celebration: up to 6 hrs, from £795
Each package is also available in watercolour, and I can build bespoke packages for larger weddings and all-day celebrations.
