    Hand-painted wedding wear for those of us walking off the beaten path.

    This is the place for:

    • Something unique to you and your story that nobody else will have.
    • A work of art you can wear (even after your wedding!)
    • Letting your bold and creative sides shine.
    • Eco-conscious weddings! I only paint on secondhand items or items you bring to me.

    Every piece I make is painted freehand and completely one-of-a-kind. I truly use the clothing as my canvas! The paint I use is durable, color-fast, and even machine wash + dryer friendly. I create in a full range of styles, whether it be detailed, minimalist, impressionist, or abstract. Any clothing item you have in mind–dress, jacket, suit coat, tie, scarf, shoe, bag/purse–can be painted with any design.

    There's plenty to fall in love with in my collection of already-painted items–or, you can commission something bespoke. Either way, there's nothing I enjoy more than celebrating love stories and the amazing people behind each one. My goal is to provide something that is as unforgettable and unrepeatable as the couples I work with.

     

    How I cater to offbeat weddings

    Listen…all I want to do is paint cool stuff for cool people (and I think everybody’s cool). If you’re here for that, I’m here for YOU! That means I’m here for whatever perspective, circumstance, and style you’re bringing to the table. The bigger the variety of people the universe sees fit to send my way, the happier I am. So let’s have some fun, let’s make things meaningful, let’s show the world what love looks like to you.

    BEAUTIFUL! My spouse's 82 year old grandmother was the flower girl at our wedding. For this special expression of love, we needed a very special dress...All I can say is that grandma's entrance as the flower girl was something we will never be able to forget. Thank you Kendra for the beautiful work you do." - Richard D.
