An original entertainment to amaze your guests during your wedding !
Today, I would like to tell you the story of Fanny and Cyril’s wedding, in the South of France.
A few months before the wedding, I have whispered to the bride’s sister the idea of an original entertainment : the collaborative painting. She was delighted about this idea ! But we have decided to keep the secret of this entertainment idea until the D-Day…
Before the wedding
Graphic searches before painting
First, I have begun to work with the sister : we have thought about the thematic of the painting, the colors which could be beautiful with the newlyweds home decoration, the artistic style… After a long brainstorming, we have finally found the theme of the painting : the destination of their honeymoon, Japan! I had to create a composition with a Japanese temple, some cherry blossoms, and to find an artistic and contemporary style…
I have worked in my studio to draw the first sketch :
The sister was enjoyed by this first sketch ! Great ! 😀
I was satisfied to have succeeded to give a contemporary style to this oriental but classical theme with my drawing.
Then, I could add colors to reflect a better idea of the final result !
When the sister approved the final sketch, I could paint the base coat on the canvas, and add the drawing of the temple, the cherry blossoms, and the abstract geometric shapes.
During the wedding
A very beautiful place for getting married in the South of France
The wedding venue is an authentic house of Provence : Le Domaine d’Orvès. A really perfect place for this intimate wedding in the South of France. I am delighted to discover such a lovely wedding venue in Provence.
A beautiful symbolic ceremony in the garden… and I take place with my easel, and canvas.
The bride and groom have discovered my entertainment at the end of the ceremony, and added one of the first touch of colors on their bespoke artwork !
At the beginning of the afternoon, all the guests thought that it was an entertainment for children… But they were wrong ! Collaborative painting is really an entertainment for all ages ! From 5 to 99 years old ! Some guests have enjoyed the entertainment so much that they came back several times during the day to add colors !! And I can ensure that it was a perfect way for both families to get to know each other with a funny way !
After the wedding
The painting is finished the day of the wedding, and newlyweds can bring it home with them ! They will keep a unique piece of Art, painted by their family and friends…

The bride testimonial
“It was a great moment for all guests!
A creative entertainment during cocktail reception. Everyone wanted to paint a small part of the painting ! The artwork occupies a special place in our living room and each person who comes home remembers what he has painted, a flower, a shape. A beautiful memory for us. Thank you Kiara !”
