Kathryn loves cutting Silhouettes SO much, that when she was on a flight home from entertaining the troops at the Navy Base in New Orleans, she spotted this adorable couple that just got married boarding her same plane home to Orlando. They were on their way to their Honeymoon at Walt Disney World. She made their Silhouettes mid flight! 

It's art from the heart!

Silhouette artist Kathryn Flocken has been featured in several Bridal publications that wanted to highlight her unique wedding service of freehand cutting Silhouettes for Wedding Guests. 

Kathryn can create up to 100 hand cut Silhouettes at a 4 hour Wedding reception. She cuts two copies simultaneously, one for the Guest to keep, and one that is mounted in a Guest Book for the Bride and Groom to keep!

Silhouettes take about 2 minutes per person, so won't take up too much of your Guest's time, and they won't have to wait long in line to get one done.

First Anniversary Paper Gift Idea



The gift element for the First Wedding Anniversary is paper. What better way to show him or her that you love them with a hand-cut portrait from your wedding day!

An 8"x10" hand cut portrait made from your wedding photo, and comes complete in an oval frame of your choice (black, silver or gold). Or a mat. 
Black oval frame: Real wood with a hand gold-leafed inner rim. By far the most popular choice! 
Gold and Silver Frame: Real wood. The scoop profile is flanked by a beaded inner lip and a rope/bead ornament on the back edge. The finish is hand rubbed and antiqued to accent details.
Paper used is acid free. 

Portraits can be 1/2 body or full body, please just specify, or we can talk about what might look best.

Please send over a wedding photo or two in an emailed message to the email shown on the www.PaperPortraits.com website. Best images to send are the two of you seen in perfect profile, facing one another with no smiles. Smiles and noses touching can be slightly adjusted for no additional charge.

Since your item is hand-cut, please allow up to 2-3 weeks for delivery.
