While the book itself has evolved, the purpose has remained the same: to provide a wonderful record of loved ones who’ve attended the wedding and for them to share happy messages of love and congratulations. One such modern alternative is a wedding guest signature canvas. Soon-to-be-marrieds are often looking for unique experiences to give their guests on W-day, something filled with surprises and delight. Enter, new Surreybased business The Signature Canvas. Known as an alternative guest book, the signature canvas is an original entertainment that brings huge joy to any wedding, allowing you to embrace a time-honoured tradition with a modern twist while gaining a treasured keepsake. Business owner Penny says, “Most couples who choose a simple guest book find that it doesn’t reflect their personalities or style and often find that it doesn’t even get written in! In other words, couples buy these because they feel they have no other option.” No more so with The Signature Canvas though! This allows you to own an original artwork created by your nearest and dearest on the big day. The process is simple. “You choose your theme, and I’ll create the personalised background before the day,” Penny explains. “Then, at the wedding, usually during the reception, all guests are invited to add their touch of paint to the canvas. It’s usually done with a paintbrush but some like to do thumb prints. The entire work of art is created over the course of a couple of hours. I then take it back to my studio to bring everyone’s touches together to create the finished bespoke piece.” It’s then delivered a few weeks after your special day. Some couples even take photos of it and use this as the image on their ‘thank you’ cards. So, what gave Penny the idea for her new venture? “I’ve always been passionate about using art to bring people together,” she shares. “Having taken part in community events and seeing the joy it gave to so many creating as a group, I decided to develop The Signature Canvas for special events such as weddings. The memories live forever through canvas.” Find out more at www.thesignaturecanvas.com TEA FOR TWO If you’ve recently embarked on your wedding planning journey, why not pop along to the County Wedding Events wedding show at Nutfield Priory, Redhill, Surrey, for inspiration aplenty on Sunday 12th May, 2024?
