Figment

Meet Kristine. Kristine Baerlin of Figment. Remember the name. Kristine Baerlin is a talented portrait painter based out of Brooklyn, NY and her paintings are fresh and contemporary and entirely extraordinary.

Her hand-painted portraits of adults and children are a contemporary approach to the pop art tradition, each carefully planned with her clients to best reflect their individual style and taste. Working together, they swap color ideas, decide on a size and determine the best photograph from which to work.

Recently she has done a few bridal and wedding portraits and has loved the endeavour.

Idea :: Wedding Gift

Aren't we always on the lookout for the perfect wedding gift? While I appreciate the gift registry and quite often buy from it, I also like to find something unique and personal for the couple too - especially for close friends and family. As a matter of fact, the gifts I favoured from our wedding weren't on our registry. We received the most beautiful piece of pottery I've ever seen, a painting of our wedding ceremony, a beautiful wine decanter, and a silver candle snuffer, to name a few.



I thought these vinyl decals from Elephannie's Etsy shop would be a thoughtful accoutrement to the toaster or blender or sheet set you buy from the registry.

One could buy the "Home Established" decal for the couple's first home. Or if the marriage is a blending of two families with kids, the decal over the fireplace with everyone's names would be wonderful. Perhaps, if the invitation has a monogram on it you could have one custom made for the couple's wall.
