My name is Kristin Githens. I have a BFA in Fashion Illustration and was a fashion art director in Chicago early in my career. When my children were small, I became a decorative painter of walls, furniture and other artwork for interior design, but I never lost my love for fashion illustration and my eye for beautiful gowns.
2022 became known as "My Year of the Seven Weddings". Our calendar was filled with “Save The Dates” throughout the year. It occurred to me that I could draw each of these seven upcoming wedding gowns as gifts for the brides walking down the aisle during this special year.
As I revealed each illustration, I felt the joyful, sometimes even tearful reaction these creations inspired with the brides and their families. The artwork created an emotional connection that even their wedding photography couldn’t capture, and I decided to pursue drawing these bridal dress portraits for others.
Your bridal gown illustration will become a treasured keepsake. It can immortalize the dress from a recent wedding or transport you back to a past wedding as an anniversary gift. Memorable outfits, including mother of the bride, bridesmaid, graduation, prom or flower girls, can all become wonderful subjects for these lasting portrayals.
