I’ve never been a wedding planner before, but I have been to a lot of weddings. So I am going to throw my two cents in here (and you are welcome to send me yours).
I love the idea of incorporating comic art into the wedding, whether it’s just one page in a place holder or the whole dang thing! But then again, there are so many options out there. The first question is where do you find something that is:
A) relevant to both of you
B) easy to personalize (if possible)
C) affordable (because let’s be honest, we all need to keep our budget in mind)
And D) not tacky/tacky-looking (because no one wants their memories associated with tacky)
I have put together a list of a few places that offer comic art for your wedding and hope this helps!
Please visit my new blog at http://moonart.blogspot.com/ to see a few samples of my work, as well as a growing list of vendors who can help you plan your wedding.
I specialize in comics and other artwork created specifically for weddings. I have a bachelor’s degree in fine art, and have been working on comics since I was in grade school (25 years now). I’ve done commercial art for newspapers, magazines, book publishers, etc., but am also well-versed in the wedding industry, with experience designing invitations and other paper goods. I’ve also helped coordinate weddings and receptions in the past, as well as having extensive personal experience with weddings.
I can create artwork based on your ideas or you can give me free reign to do what I do best: tell your story through sequential art. Since my specialty is comic art, I can work within any given budget to make sure that you get what you want for your story. It’s not just about the size of the piece; it’s how much time I spend on each drawing!
Comic books are a fantastic way to capture the emotion and excitement of your special day! Comics are more than just words and pictures; they tell an entire story all at once (and even
If you are planning to celebrate your wedding in a comic-themed way, you have plenty of options. The most popular choice is to make use of your own comic art. Your guests will surely see it as a unique and personal touch to the wedding ceremony.
Unlike with other types of wedding decorations, comic art can be integrated quite easily into your décor. You can hang it on the walls or attach it to the tablecloths. You can even use comic strips as table numbers or attach them to the napkins.
If you are not a skilled artist or if you simply don’t want to create your own comic for your special day, there is nothing stopping you from using someone else’s art instead. There are artists out there who specialize in making wedding comics and who are ready to help you make your big day unique!
The most important thing is to have fun with it! It’s your day, so you can do whatever you want! You can have a comic strip on each one of your tables (if you have a lot of tables), or just a few. You can even get creative and make the artist draw your guests into the comic strip, or even yourself! Don’t think of this as just a way to commemorate your day; think of it as an investment for the future. Your wedding comic will last for years to come and be cherished by family and friends for generations to come.
Another reason why a wedding comic strip is so special is because each one is unique. Just like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike. Every comic strip tells a story about the bride and groom, their families and friends, from beginning to end.
It’s also more affordable than you might think! A single-page 8 1/2″ x 11″ black & white comic strip could cost as little as $35. Add color for just $5 more per page. So if you’re looking for something different that won’t break your budget, why not consider ordering a wedding comic?
The comic will be drawn in pencil first then digitally colored by an experienced artist using professional grade

I recently attended a wedding that I thought was beautiful. The bride and groom had planned every detail of their special day with great care, and they’d done it all while keeping their guests in mind. The ceremony and reception were both held at the home of one of the parents, which meant there was no cost for a caterer or venue. The flowers were homegrown, and the decorations were crafted by friends, family and the couple themselves.
Tulle and lace satin bows covered every surface, with candlelight making it seem enchanted. The food was delicious, the mood was fun and relaxed, and it all took place on a perfect summer evening.
The bride wore an ankle-length lace dress that she had sewn herself from a pattern she’d found online. It was made from a vintage lace tablecloth her grandmother had picked up at an estate sale.
The groom’s suit was made from a vintage wool blanket his grandfather had purchased as army surplus in the late 60s. They both wore cowboy boots given to them by friends.
A few months before the wedding, my husband read about this couple’s story of finding love in each other after both having been previously married to other people. Their journey together started many years earlier when they were in high
The moon art is a popular choice of decor and is used in many different cultures. It brings the beauty of nature into your wedding while celebrating the marriage of two people. The moon art can be done in a variety of ways and can be placed at different locations in the wedding venue.
The moon art should include the bride and groom’s names, date and location of the wedding embossed on it. A heart graphic is also a great addition to this piece as it represents love and romance. The moon art is often placed on a white or cream background, either hung on the wall or behind the head table. Sometimes, it is placed on a canvas that can easily be rolled up for storage once the event is over.
