L and C were getting married at the historic Lovekyn Chapel, Kingston upon Thames and they needed a map to help guests get there from the station and then onwards through town to the reception venue in Canbury Gardens.
Although perhaps not the best navigational aid, this was an absolute joy to draw, incorporating many of L and C’s favourite and treasured things!
Can you spot a monkey as Gene Kelly’s Singing in the Rain character? Or the reference to Wizard of Oz? C’s dress had peacock feathers in the design, and L chose a grey suit and had a love for parrots, so there they are in the grounds of the Chapel. The ammonites represent C’s father who loved geology and I can’t actually remember why it was an animal theme!
I love drawing maps and would be happy to bring your idea to life. We’d need to discuss requirements, level of detail and some of the ‘must haves’ and ‘like to haves’, so I’d do this work on commission, agreeing a price and timeframe in advance. Contact us with your ideas.
