There are many ways to remember your wedding day and the happiness it gave you. Some common ways to remember a wedding are by photos or by videos of the ceremony. These are excellent for capturing the moment but need to be stored away and are generally only brought out when the mood strikes you. This is usually when friends and relatives come around or when times get tough. The odd photo can be found in many houses, framed and placed with the china and precious objects. For the daring there is the wedding cake which is saved for a year and then, if still edible, partaken in to celebrate the one year anniversary. The remainder is sadly thrown away. The rings exchanged act as a reminder that you are married and less as a reminder of your wedding day itself. These methods are all good for remembering your wedding but there is a better way to escape back into the moment.

The wedding day, filled with such nerves, happiness and care-free indulgence is as good as a holiday in changing your perspective on life. Such a day should be remembered more often so as to avoid the grind of work and endless chores making life miserable between you and your partner. One way to do this is to have paintings made of your favourite memories. It might be the laugh you shared, the flowers made by a relative or friend, the dress and suit worn, the place you were married at or the cake. There are so many options for creating a painting to remind you of that day. It does not have to be the full portrait as even the smallest things from that day will remind you how happy you were.

To have a memory from your wedding day painted, think of the style you would like the painting or paintings in, the colours and the images you would like. They can be drawn from photos or stories. Photos are essential in capturing the details of the day, but, for more abstract paintings, how you felt on the day is also very important. To have a painting made of your wedding memories is not always about converting a photo to canvas. These images may not be what you would like to hang in your home. For ideas on how you would like your painting to be made, consider the types of paintings and images you most enjoy. Abstract images, bright colours, rough textures and thick brushstrokes can be used to create the style you are after.

There is no more elegant and sophisticated way of remembering your marriage and celebrating your marriage together than to have a painting of your wedding day.
