FAQs
How much do you charge?
Please, fill out the inquire form! The investment depends on how many hours you book, and of course, on where I need to go. An event near Cagliari is different from an event that requires me to take a flight, book hotel, etc...
You can read the investment section.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes! But usually, I request the payment 7 days before the wedding. When you sign the contract you need to pay only a non refundable deposit to cover flights and other travel expenses.
Will you travel?
Yes, I travel in all Sardinia, Italy and Europe, and also the UK.
How far in advance should I book you?
We take bookings up to one year in advance, but please note we have really limited availability. Only 15-30 events per year!
If you contact me too late, the travel expense may be higher.
What do I (wedding planner or venue planner) need to provide?
I need only 1 chairs and 1 large table or 2 medium table!
How many hours should I book you for?
Minimum booking duration is 3-4 hours. M. Paola will work closely with you to determine the optimal number of hours required based on the unique aspects of your event and your desired outcomes. Rest assured, I'm committed to ensuring that your event receives the attention and coverage it deserves.
It is not necessary to choose the number of hours based on the guests because not all guests will want portraits. For example, for events with 200 guests, I will never be able to paint them all. So, you can use my service according to your budget!
What paint do you use?
I use watercolor!
How many portraits can you complete at one event?
Each illustration featuring two individuals typically takes between 10-12 minutes to complete, accounting for any intricacies in outfits or details. We dedicated to working swiftly and efficiently to accommodate as many guests as possible, ensuring that each attendee receives their bespoke artwork during the event.
Please, add also transition time between a portrait and another.
Consider an average number of 6-10 portraits per hour, depending on the complexity of dresses.
Where can I find examples of you live painting?
Check my instagram reels! @theweddingcrestlab
Do you only live painting at weddings?
No! I do all types events: birthdays, corporate, special events, weddings, etc...
Will you paint more than two people at a time?
To ensure that as many guests as possible can treasure a personalized artwork, we typically limit each illustration to feature up to two individuals. This thoughtful approach allows us to accommodate the diverse array of attendees, ensuring that everyone leaves with a cherished memento of the occasion.
Do guests need to remain seated during the live painting process?
No! I will take a photo of the guest.They don't need to hanging, unless they want to watch!
Why your painting are faceless and basically in the same pose?
Faceless is my signature. The same pose is a necessity to ensure as many guests as possible will get their portraits.
How can I book you?
Fill out the form, and if your date is available, I will send you a quote. For further details, you can find plenty of information in the "How It Works" section.
Do you paint bride and groom?
Of course, if the newlyweds decide to come to my table, I will paint their illustration card. This is not a live wedding painting, as many artists do.
How do guests know what they need to do?
At my table, there will be a signage where guests can understand what I do. Sometimes I have an assistant that will take photos and engage with guests, answering any questions they may have. Additionally, we can make announcements about the service over the microphone. For small event, I do all by myself.

About me
I started painting wedding crests during the pandemic when my old business, 'Wedding Graphic Designer,' came to a complete standstill.
Since 2021, I've opened a shop on Etsy and began creating floral crests for American brides. The demand for my work skyrocketed, and I realized that I had found my true calling in the world of wedding crests. My background as a graphic designer greatly helps me in creating impeccable print-ready files. All of my crests are designed to be printed up to A2 size, ensuring the highest quality and sharpness of details.
I personally own a professional photo plotter, which allows me to directly print my crests. In addition to printing on paper, I also offer the option to print my crests on various items such as napkins, mugs, pillows, and more. This allows you to further personalize your wedding and create a truly unique and memorable atmosphere.
