“Our wedding welcome board was the most photographed thing at the reception. Guests were still talking about it at the after-party. Sébastien captured us perfectly — it now hangs in our living room.”

FAQ

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I ORDER?
We recommend ordering at least 3 weeks before the wedding date. The process takes 12–14 days from order to delivery, and earlier is always better — it removes deadline pressure and gives you time to request any adjustments to the sketch before anything is printed.
WHAT SIZE IS THE WELCOME BOARD?
The standard welcome board is printed at A1 (594 × 841mm) on premium matte stock — large enough to be seen from across a venue entrance, and substantial enough to frame and keep. Other sizes are available on request.
CAN I ADD TEXT, NAMES OR A DATE?
Yes. The couple’s names, the wedding date, and a short line of text (“Together at last”, “Welcome to our wedding”) can be incorporated into the design. Just let us know during the order process what you’d like to include.
CAN WE INCLUDE OUR PETS?
Absolutely — dogs and cats regularly appear in wedding boards alongside the couple. They tend to steal the show. Just include a photo of the animal when you submit your order.
IS IT REALLY HAND-DRAWN — NOT DIGITALLY GENERATED?
100% hand-drawn by Sébastien Rieu using Indian ink and watercolour in his Bordeaux studio. The artwork is then scanned at high resolution and printed at large format. No AI, no filters, no digital shortcuts. That’s the whole point — and the reason it looks unlike anything else at the wedding.
