Bed, bath, and beyond the registry
With wedding season in full swing, you may find yourself attending a nuptial or two in the coming months. If you’re looking for something extra special—but the happy couple’s registry has you sifting through the same ol’ selection of Kitchen-Aid mixers and Crate and Barrel fare—you may be inclined to commission a custom wedding portrait by Wary Meyers.
The whimsical portraits are painted on a 20″ x 24″ canvas and capture the playful details of the joyous occasion far better than any of those disposable table cameras. To get started, Wary Meyers will require plenty of photos from the big day, especially those that capture the bride and groom with ear-to-ear grins.
The portraits don’t come cheap (rates start at $2,500, hence the emphasis on extra special) but it surely won’t be a gift the recipients mock twenty years down the road.
For something a little less pricey but just as personal, check out the ReadyMade archives. A handmade ring pillow, a $99 dress, or clever invitations will surely delight any creative couple that’s stuck in party planning mode.
