About this vendor
Located in Fresno, CA, Bleu de Toi offers customized alternatives to traditional wedding guest books. Since 2009, couples have been able to add a dash of originality to their stationery through unique pieces from this company. Founders and husband-and-wife team Josh and Hilary Dildine want to create art that is not only functional but can be treasured and displayed with pride in your home.
Hilary has been a professional artist for more than 15 years. She earned a degree in art and now teaches college classes for fun. She and Josh founded Bleu de Toi in 2009, after designing their first alternative guest book for their own wedding. They drew inspiration from their setting, having decided to exchange their vows under a tree. They realized that using a drawing of the tree could be a way to record their guests while staying true to themselves. Each guest would sign their names on a leaf, creating a meaningful piece of art for Hilary and Josh to cherish forever.
As well as guest books, Bleu de Toi is happy to provide bespoke illustrations for you to use on your wedding stationery. Their art styles range from line drawings, pen and ink sketches, or watercolor designs. Line drawings of the happy couple are particularly popular for their personalized element. Illustrated maps with directions to your venue could be a useful addition to your invitation suite.

Very disappointed in this Etsy seller. We ordered our customized guest book from them over a month ago and it's been nothing but headaches since. They claimed to have shipped it ou...
t 10/14, but the USPS in Fresno never received a package from them. I've attempted to reach out via Etsy, email, and Facebook messenger to get responses to our questions and received no responses. We have now escalated the issue to Etsy themselves and found another shop who is rushing our order because they understand the stress this has added to us leading up to the wedding. Would NOT recommend this seller for any printing needs via Etsy or any of their other online shops.
Ordered a tree in 2012. They customized it with our names, wedding date, initials on the tree and gave my husband a fire hat. It made it to us in Canada on time and in good condit...

g it at the wedding, but it looks amazing framed in our home. There are lots of imitators out there printing similar products, but you cannot beat the value and uniqueness of a hand painted tree. They have an option for nearly any occasion... weddings, reunions, babies, birthdays, anniversaries, new homes, anything you want, they can make it happen. Love love love this product!
I actually knew the woman and her husband that made these. I had seen them be done for many other friends and family, so when it was my turn to get married, I immediately reached o...
ut to them! These prints are so beautifully drawn and are such a fun way to have a guest book but also something to have on your wall. It’s a beautiful reminder of your wedding and the people who shared it with you.
It’s not messy at all. They provide wet wipes so your guest can clean up. And they will make anything. Trees are the normal, but my
Husband and I got married on a yacht so they made an adorable boat. It was precious and we will love this forever.
Thank you!!!
We used one of these fingerprint trees as a guestbook for our wedding and it was absolutely beautiful! It’s a unique way to remember your wedding, especially compared to a traditio...
