Brushing Bride

This is the PERFECT gift! I gifted this to my best friend on her wedding day as we were getting our hair and makeup done. She was not expecting it and we really had a special moment between us, as best friends, before she went to go marry one of her new best friends! She always said that she never truly felt like she was getting married until the day she bought her wedding gown. Being able to gift her a memory she will have forever is priceless. Brushing Bride, your the best!

I have had Brushing Bride create two separate pieces of Art and I have been very pleased each time. My wife’s wedding dress for an anniversary present and the exterior of a friends home they recently sold. Krystina is quick to respond to order requests and makes each piece very personal. Every detail is done with a lot of care including the wrapping and framing of the art work. I would highly recommend using Brushing Bride when looking to deliver a custom gift or capture a special moment in time.

I received a beautifully done illustration of my wedding dress, stunning! It is one of the most admired/complimented mementos from my wedding! Highly recommended!!!

My sister-in-law had a drawing made of my wedding dress for a wedding gift, and I was absolutely blown away! The drawing looks identical to my dress and is such a perfect addition to our "wedding wall." I am so grateful to have this unique piece of art preserving the beauty of my dress for years to come! :)

My best friend gave me a custom illustration as a wedding gift, so when she got married, I planned to give her the same in return. The finished product is beautiful and one-of-a-kind. I can't wait to give it to the bride! Thanks, Krystina, for a beautiful piece of art.

I came across Brushing Bride on a friend's Facebook post about a year ago and knew I had to have an illustration created for my son and future daughter-in-law's as their wedding gift. I decided it would look amazing displayed on the gift table during the reception. I contacted Krystina and she promptly responded to my inquiry about how the process worked. Since it was a year out, I had plenty of time to forward her photos of their proposed wedding attire. When I picked up the illustration, it actually brought a tear to my eye, it was that beautiful! To see what the bride and groom's attire would look like together before the wedding gave me goosebumps. Everyone loved it at the wedding and couldn't get over the details Krystina incorporated into the rendering. I would highly recommend Brushing Bride and plan on having Krystina create many more illustrations as wedding gifts for my close family and friends.

I just received 2 custom drawings of our ceremony chapel and of our reception venue from my mom at my bridal shower! I am blown away at how detailed they are, not to mention the most unique and personal gifts ever. I am the bride to be who has everything, and these gifts are so special-- what a better way to remember the place where our forever will begin. I cannot recommend brushing bride enough. Thank you so much!

The portrait of my dress is something I will cherish always. Krystina is great to work with and made sure everything about my portrait was perfect. The entire process was so simple and I am so lucky to have such a piece of art.

This is the ultimate gift!!! It is original, timeless, and beautiful. I have ordered multiple drawings from this artist and her work is gorgeous! Highly recommend :)

My friends and I commissioned Krystina to draw our best friend's wedding dress + her husband's tux for our wedding gift to them. Krystina did an incredible job on our friends very detailed ballroom gown. We're so happy that we could give our friend such a meaningful and personal gift. Krystina worked with us to find the right size/artwork combination to fit our budget and was very responsive throughout the process. Will definitely be using the Brushing Bride for future gifts!

I ordered an illustration of the monument that my wife and I got engaged at in Paris. Everything was done exactly as discussed, and the end result was even better than I had hope! Krystina was professional and timely in delivery. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Hands down, one of the greatest gifts I could have received to remember such an incredible day. Krystina's work is so intricately detailed and captures every aspect of a brides most prized possession. Thank you so much for such a beautiful piece of art!

AMAZING!!! There are no words to explain the excitement on my client's faces when they open their home illustration. I am a REALTOR, and as a settlement gift I purchased a one of a kind illustration for my buyers. Krystina is diligent, hard working and great with response times. I recommend her services to anyone looking to provide a one-of-a-kind gift for a friend or family member.

My wife sent me the link to this as we were getting married. We are celebrating our 1 year anniversary right after Thanksgiving. Since the 1st year is paper I thought this was fantastic. Krystina really captured the essence of the gown and it's a great way to display it throughout the year! My wife will cherish this forever!

From the moment I saw Krystina's work at a local arts festival I knew it would be the perfect 1st anniversary gift! The process was so easy and any questions I had were responded to extremely fast. Not to memetion the peice was flawless and my wife loved it! Can't go wrong here!

I received a custom illustration of my dress as a wedding present from my bridesmaids and it is AMAZING. I loved my dress so much and this is the perfect way to commemorate the gown without having a huge picture of myself (not my style). It is so chic and beautiful. It is something that I will treasure for years to come! I would HIGHLY recommend this for a bride to get for themselves or as an amazing gift for a bride. Love love love and can't wait to hang it in our home!

After 18+ years in the first house that my parents built, it was hard to find something that accurately captured the feelings and emotions of all the memories in our home. After using Krystina's services to creatively preserve the wedding gowns of friends and family, I jumped at the chance when she said she could do a rendering of our family home. My parents were so surprised when they received it - there were tears of joy. It hangs proudly in their new (and likely last) home as a constant reminder of all the happy memories from 34 Wesley Road. I would highly recommend this as a gift to celebrate a new home or pay homage to a past one!

I received a Brushing Bride gift on my wedding day, and it truly was the best gift of the whole wedding. The illustration is absolutely beautiful. Krystina got the detail of the dress perfect. I have it displayed on my bedroom wall, and it reminds me every day of the best day of my life (and the best dress of my life!). Since then, I have given Brushing Bride to almost all of my friends getting married. I highly recommend this gift!!!

A group of us were brainstorming a gift for our friend who lives in NYC, had a limited registry and was having a nontraditional bridal shower when I remembered Blushing Bride would be a gift she would love and treasure. Every single girl loves how it came out and is excited to give it to the bride. Krystina made it exactly as ordered, the dress is simple with all of the detail in the back which is where she focused. The whole process was simple and stress-free and the final product was perfect. I would recommend this as a sentimental gift for any bride in your life.

This was my most cherished wedding gift! It is something so unique and timeless and Krystina's work is flawless!

I met Krystina at an arts festival (super friendly) and was immediately drawn in by the delicacy of her work. I got my sister's wedding dress done and could not have been happier with the result (pretty sure my mom cried marking the 10th time throughout the planning). The details were beautiful and she captured exactly the way the dress fit my sister. Would 100% recommend to anyone for any special occasion.

I first noticed Krystina's work in the months leading up to my wedding; I was in awe of the piece's she was creating for her brides. However, it was not until I received my own Brushing Bride that I understood how truly magical Krystina's artwork is for a bride and groom. There is nothing worse after your wedding than having to put your beautiful dress away after only spending a few short hours in it. But with a Brushing Bride piece, you have the opportunity to preserve your gown and look at it each and every day. The detail Krystina is able to put into her art to recreate your dress to a T is truly amazing. I have mine hanging at the end of our bed and I look at it every morning when I wake up and smile at the thought of our special day. This is something I hope to purchase for all of my girlfriends as they get married! Thank you, Krystina!!

I've been dropping subtle hints to my husband ever since the wedding day that I wanted a commemorative Brushing Bride drawing of my dress, and he finally followed through on Christmas! It's currently hanging in our living room and I always receive compliments on it! My husband was very impressed with Krystina's professionalism when it came to having it done timely, as well as cost. We both love how it turned out, especially since she was able to frame it for us. Thank you so much Krystina for capturing my favorite dress on paper, and for the customization! I love being able to have it on display so I can see it every day! I highly recommend this as a unique and commemorative wedding gift that any bride will love!

My mom gifted me with Brushing Bride's custom illustration of my wedding gown a few months post-wedding. I was immediately brought to tears (not an easy feat) by this lovely, unexpected keepsake. The incredibly talented Krystina Faillace perfectly captured the whimsy and beauty of my gown. This is exactly how your dream dress was meant to be preserved! Truly one of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received; I will forever cherish this beautiful piece of art. (Logistical side note: my mom said the order and production process was seamless!) Let Brushing Bride provide you with a gift for your fave bride that will give her "all the feels."

I found her at a booth at the 2015 Manayunk Art Fest and kept her business card in order for Krystina to create a drawing of my wife's dress for our 1 year anniversary. I could not have been more pleased with the whole process, from contacting her to receiving the art created. Krystina was prompt, professional, and detail oriented in creating what I thought would be a great gift for my wife. I ordered my drawing and she had it rushed to me in only a few weeks. Everything she does is a one-off and she was able to create my wife's dress with such intricacy and detail; I was flabbergasted at the fine craftsmanship received. I could not recommend a better way to give a 1 year paper gift than going through Brushing Bride.

I am a REALTOR in the Philly area and met Krystina at a networking event. Though she specializes in fashion illustrations, I asked if she'd be able to do a house illustration for my sister and her fiance who I was helping to buy their first home as one of their closing gifts. I sent a picture of their new home and Krystina did a GREAT job! She even put their settlement date along the bottom of the picture. I highly recommend for a personalized gift and will be using her again!

I first saw Krystina's work at a craft fair in June. I took her card as my best friend was getting married this fall and I thought it would be a great gift from her bridesmaids. Tragically, the groom passed away unexpectedly before the wedding, but we still had the drawing done as a memory of the dress she would never get to wear but would always be THE dress. The work Krystina did was amazing, the intricate lace detail, makes it a beautiful piece of art, as well as a fond memory of what was to be. Our bride loved the keepsake.

I ordered the large framed sketch for my sister-in-law as her wedding gift. The ordering process was pretty simple. It's always difficult to find a gift that is unique and memorable. This is the perfect gift idea and really has lasting value. It's something I can picture hanging up for years without taking up as much room as the dress itself. The sketch is gorgeous and the presentation in the frame is classic. I can't wait to see when she opens it!

My daughter has dedicated a small area in her new home to photos and other remembrances from her wedding. For her 30th birthday, I wanted to surprise her with a rendering of her wedding dress. Krystina did an incredible job. The likeness between the dress and the drawing was uncanny. The attention to detail created a flawless result. The finished product was exquisite. Thank you Krystina for all your efforts. Can't wait to give it to my girl. .

THE BEST WEDDING GIFT! If you are looking for a wedding gift that the bride will love, you need to contact Brushing Bride ASAP. This personalized, unique, one-of-a-kind treasure will last forever, and it is the BEST way to preserve the most important dress the bride will ever wear. Besides, do the couple really need another kitchen appliance?

Krystina created the most beautiful piece of art I could have ever given to one of my best friends on her wedding day. The bride wore an incredibly detailed lace gown which flowed down into a mermaid style tooling on the bottom and bustle. Krystina drew a gorgeous interpretation of the bride's gown that now hangs in her bedroom and is a constant reminder of how beautiful she felt on the most special day in her life. I cannot wait until I get married and can have a Brushing Bride piece of art of my own!

Krystina did a great job for me on an anniversary present for my mother on short notice. The drawing came out beautifully and my mom loved the drawing of her and my father's wedding day that was a great memory for her. I highly recommend her work as being well done, timely, and professional.

Krystina's exquisitely drawn wedding dress is an everlasting treasure. I gave this work of art as a gift, and the bride was moved to tears. It was her favorite and most prized gift. Krystina's artistry captured every detail of her dress. This gift is unique and personal like none other. I am giving our daughter a rendering of her wedding dress for her anniversary. Krystina is the best. She is exceptional to deal with during the process. She is so warm and customer-focused. The gift is beautifully packaged for safe-feeling during transit. I highly recommend Krystina and Brushing Bride. There is no one better.

We gave this gift to the bride of a wedding I was in, and she absolutely loved it. The concept for preserving your dress where you can see it all the time is a great idea, and Krystina does an amazing job with every piece. You will be very happy with the final product and her attention to detail throughout the process. I highly recommend the Brushing Bride as a way to give your wife, daughter, friend a truly unique and special wedding gift.

A minted original for every bride! Krystina's talented artistry and attention to customizing every detail makes each piece flawless, personalized, and so pretty! I loved receiving illustrations of my dresses as gifts. Now that I'm married, they are really sweet reminders of our wedding!

Looking for a unique gift for a friend's wedding, I came across the idea of having her dress drawn. I saw a few artists that provided the service, but none did it in a style as elegant and **detailed** as Krystina. I can't stress "detailed" enough! I don't know how she was able to capture the intricacies of the pattern and design, but I guess that's what makes her a professional artist. Simply amazing work. Almost as nice as the finished product was Krytsina, herself. She was a gem to deal with and handled the process from consultation to shipping the finished piece. The cherry on top was the fact I had given the most treasured and unique gift. Cash doesn't hold a candle to this gift!

Beautiful artwork and so easy to work with Krystina! I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and memorable bridal shower, wedding, or anniversary gift!

Krystina did the most beautiful illustration of my best friend's dress for her wedding this summer, and it far exceeded my expectations, which were already high! She captured the details of an intricate lace gown in the most amazing way, and the bride was absolutely thrilled (a few tears of joy, even) when she saw it. This was the best wedding gift I've ever been lucky enough to give. Thank you!

Krystina did an amazing job on capturing my wife's dress and as it was the perfect one year anniversary gift. Krystina is incredibly professional, pays so much attention to detail and provides excellent customer service. She responds quickly, provides a quick turn around on your order and makes sure you are satisfied with your product. As a guy who did not know much about the dress, she answered all of my questions and helped walk me through the process. I highly recommend Brushing Bride and Krystina to produce a lifetime keepsake that captures your wedding day.

So happy I saw you on Good Day Philadelphia as I have given my daughter Heather the most precious, beautiful rendition of her wedding gown! SHE LOVED IT. You are so very talented to capture all the details of such an amazing gown. Her twin Lindsey just got married on July 25, 2015 and I fully intend to have you capture her gown also in this most unique way. What a perfect way to remember the most important dress in a girl's life! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

Krystina did an amazing job capturing my sister in-laws' wedding dress! The beading and detail was so intricate and identical to the actual dress. It is a beautiful piece of art that she will have forever. The illustrations make perfect gifts for the brides who register for everything! It's something personal and extra special. Thank you Krystina! XO

I received my Brushing Bride wedding gown sketch as a gift at my wedding and I am beyond thrilled! I have been following and admiring Krystina's amazing work for a while now and I just love the unique and timeless concept of Brushing Bride. Krystina captured the intricate details of the lace bodice and tulle skirt on my dress perfectly. Her skill and attention to detail are obvious when looking through her portfolio. I love that I can cherish this keepsake forever and display my dress in such an exceptional way. I also must note the matte and frame are beautiful finishing touches on her superb work. I would highly recommend Brushing Bride!

Krystina did an amazing job on my wedding dress sketch! I'm so happy with her work. She is a very talented artist who captures every detail. The frame and matting are also beautiful. It is a truly beautiful piece that captures my wedding dress that I love so much. Most wedding dresses end up in boxes or hanging in a closet put away for years. I think it is a wonderful idea to be able to display your wedding dress since it is such an important part of your day. It's a very thoughtful gift and I would recommend blushing bride to anyone who wants to remember their wedding dress in a very special way.

Krystina is an incredibly skilled artist whose passion for creating beautiful memories is abundantly evident in her work. Her illustration of my lace wedding gown is simply stunning and brings a smile to my face every time I look at it. It is a timeless way to display my wedding gown and I love the way it looks in my daughter's nursery. Thank you, Krystina for following your dream and preserving mine!

This is such a nice remembrance of my daughters wedding to have a sketch of her dress, beautifully matted and framed and hanging in her house. This is a wonderful gift from mother to daughter to commerate such a special day, and truly is a gift to treasure always!

When Krystina first started producing her work for Brushing Bride, I was immediately impressed. When my little brother got engaged, I just knew that this would be the perfect way to celebrate my sister-in-law to be! All I had to provide was a link to the dress and a few pictures - Krystina was able to work her magic. I am absolutely blown away by the result and was so proud to give it to my future sister-in-law. It's such a unique gift and really stood out among the shower and bridal registry items. Already, they have a memento to remember the best day of their lives...I know that my brother will also enjoy it once he's finally allowed to see it (after the wedding day of course!).

I cannot express how happy I am with the sketch that I ordered for my friend's bridal shower, it is absolutely gorgeous. I ordered it as a special gift from her bridesmaids, and she was so thrilled with it! The bride's dress was a unique, soft pink, short Oscar de la Renta dress with a feathered bottom, and the sketch is the perfect "art imitating life" version of her beautiful wedding dress. The slight pink incorporated into the sketch of the dress is the perfect touch, not too much. The matting and framing are beautiful. I can only hope that my husband picked up on my *not so subtle* hints that I would love a sketch of my own dress as our first anniversary "paper" gift! ;) This is a wonderful gift and Krystina was helpful, responsive and great to deal with. Thank you so much!

Krystina did a magnificent job capturing the fine detail and embellishments of this two piece classic ball gown worn at a breathtaking wedding overlooking the Amalfi Coast. The bride and groom were deserving of a gift as picturesque as their wedding and this was it! The drawing arrived flawless and beautifully matted in an ornately trimmed gold frame. This is the first of many hand-sketched drawings I will be ordering from the Brushing Bride. It is the perfect gift to capture the beauty and romance of any wedding.

Simply perfect! I received a custom drawing of my Reem Acra wedding dress as a Christmas gift from my sister (and maid of honor) and I can confidently say that it is hands down one of the best gifts I have ever received! I am so in love with my wedding dress and am so happy to now have a visual reminder and keepsake that will be a true fixture in my home and last a lifetime. Krystina's work is truly a unique and modern twist on dress preservation and an innovative and elegant way to keep your dress on display. I am most impressed with how Krystina captured the elegant and articulate design of the dress without losing any of the delicacy or glamour of Reem Acra; it's a perfect sketch that I am sure the designer would also fall in love with! Thank you, Krystina! So happy my sister discovered The Brushing Bride and can't wait to put in an order in the future!

I was in one of my best friends weddings and wanted to do something more than writing a check, I wanted to do something special. A few months prior I was in a wedding with Krystina, the talent behind Brushing Bride, where she gifted the bride (my sister-in-law and her best friend) a beautiful sketch of her dress. When I was thinking of what to do for a special gift for my best friend, I was glad I recalled Krystina’s beautiful work. My friend’s dress was lace with many intricate details, but I knew after seeing some of Krystina’s work that she would do a great job! Since my friend’s dress had a beautiful back, I opted for a front and back view. In a timely manner Krystina completed the sketch. It was beautiful! I was so excited to give it to my friend that I brought it to her that same night it came in the mail. Krystina voiced that that lace was a bit more difficult than she anticipated, but I believe she did an amazing job. My favorite part of the sketch was the train. She did a fantastic job with the details in how the dress layed and the lace in this area of the dress was spot on. One thing I wish I had voiced, had I known to voice beforehand, was that the body be realistic in the proportions. I felt as though the torso was a bit long and narrow, but nothing to be bothered or upset by. It is a wonderful piece of art that my friend will cherish forever. In fact, each time I am at my friends house I am reminded by how special this gift was to her, as it hangs on the wall in her home. I will definitely use Krystina's talent to create timeless gifts for dear friends in the future!

Got this as gift for my best friend. She was so excited just like every bride she was obsessed with her dress. Its a great gift for the bridal party to give. Can't wait to place my next order!!

I recently got married about 2 years ago at Bear Creak Ski resort in Pa and like every bride was on a high after their wedding, however at the same time I was exhausted from months of planning. I had every intention of preserving my dress, displaying wedding photos throughout my house, and searching for the perfect photo to showcase of my dress. Time got the best of me and before I knew it none of these things happened :) I discovered Brushing Bride and loved the idea of having a sketch done of my dress. I knew I had to have one! On our two year anniversary my husband surprised me with the Photo and I loved it! It was a way to capture my wedding day, and everytime I look at the photo it brings back memories of my very special day when I married my best friend. It is a piece that you will have forever and makes a great wedding gift, anniversary gift, wedding party gift, or just a gift to yourself :) I would recommend Brushing Bride to anyone, and if you have not purchased one yet do not wait any longer!

My wife and I got married in Mexico and did a "trash the dress" photo shoot the following day. Needless to say there was no way to save the dress and bring it back to it's former glory. Although we loved the photos from the shoot, my wife always had a small amount of regret because she would never to get see her dress look as beautiful as it once was. That's until I found Krystina and Brushing Bride. When you look at the photos on the website, it still doesn't do her work justice. The attention to detail is amazing and the process is so easy. Send her a few photos of the dress and let her do her magic. She even framed and matted the picture leaving me the easy part of just presenting it to my wife. At least for one night, Krystina made me look like the best husband in the world!

I am lucky enough to have one of The Brushing Bride's original drawings, before she became the rockstar she is today! I received my drawing as a wedding gift from one of my bridesmaids, and I literally gasped out loud when I opened it! The picture is absolutely gorgeous and highlights every amazing detail of my dress. It is such a wonderful reminder of the best day of my life, and is now displayed in my foyer where I can show it off to everyone who walks in the front door. I have looked on Etsy and other sites that offer wedding dress drawings and not a single one compares to the perfection and quality of the work Krystina offers! For this reason I have given her drawings as gifts for a few of my girlfriends and they love them just as much as I do! I would highly recommend The Brushing Bride if you are looking for a dress drawing!

I got married a few years ago and my maid of honor gifted me the best gift I could have ever imagined...a hand drawn picture of my wedding dress!!!!! I was so incredibly excited to receive this gift as I absolutely loved my dress (as most brides hopefully do) and was quickly in denial that I would never get to wear it again after the wedding! The drawing is proudly hung in my home and I love walking by it and reliving my wedding day. I cannot think of a better wedding gift and would recommend this to ANYONE and EVERYONE!!! The attention to detail and quality of the drawing is second to none. I loved my own drawing so much that I've also gifted Brushing Bride to several friends and family members, who have equally loved their drawing! Brushing Bride is so incredibly talented and I cannot say enough about what a special gift it was to receive (and to gift it to others)!!!!
