Wedding Gifts
A wedding gift they’ll still love in fifty years
Toasters break. Vases gather dust. Art hangs in every home they’ll ever live in — and they’ll always remember it came from you.
Wedding gift ideas beyond the registry
The wedding gift problem, solved
Every couple faces the same pile: three kettles, a fondue set, and a stack of vouchers for shops they never visit. A painting is the opposite kind of gift — it moves with them from rental to first home to forever home, and it never ends up in a cupboard. A hand-painted reproduction of Klimt’s The Kiss is the classic wedding choice; for something bolder, browse the best-sellers or our featured contemporary artists.
The most-loved wedding gift we make: a hand-painted portrait of the couple from their wedding day. The photos won’t exist until after the big day — so give a gift card at the wedding, and they’ll put it toward the portrait once they’ve chosen their favourite shot. It also solves group gifting: cards go up to $2,000, so the whole table can chip in on one unforgettable gift instead of five forgettable ones.
Chipping in as a group?
One Direct Art gift card, up to $2,000 — emailed to the couple with your message on the morning of the wedding, or handed over beautifully printed. They choose the artwork; you get the credit.
Set up the group gift →Wedding gift questions, answered
We’re a group — can we all chip in?
Yes — the simplest way is one gift card for the combined amount (values up to $2,000). One person purchases it and adds a message from the whole group.
The wedding photos aren’t ready yet — how do we gift a portrait?
Give a gift card at the wedding. Once the couple has their photos, they redeem it on a custom portrait and approve the painting before it ships. The anticipation is part of the gift.
What if they’d rather choose their own art?
That’s the beauty of the gift card — it never expires, works on all 5,000+ artworks including custom portraits, and choosing together becomes a newlywed outing.
