Are Weddings Important For Fashion Illustrators?

Live Events are one of the most consistent and accessible income avenues for Fashion Illustrators right now, but that doesn't have to just mean illustrating for fashion brands!

Weddings are a huge opportunity for event illustrators, brand events can be inconsistent and seasonal, yet weddings are all year round, so I'd recommend every event illustrator to also offer weddings, as once you start promoting yourself as an event illustrator you're bound to get wedding enquiries also.

A lot of event illustrators focus solely on weddings and are booked up throughout the year, so it's not an avenue to dismiss!

Plus most branded events I've done, at least one person will come up to me grasping their phone wanting to get a drawing done of their wedding day rather than what they're wearing right now.

So bridal illustrations are going to pop up whether you work in weddings or not!

Also if you're open for commissions, the traditional present for a one year anniversary is paper, which many people use that as a reason to commission an illustration of their wedding day, so it's always good to know how to illustrate wedding dresses/bridal things!

So if you’re a Fashion Illustrator and aren’t offering weddings/know how to illustrate bridal, you’re waving goodbye to a lot of opportunities, clients and sacks of casharoo.

Because some of you might be quite surprised just how often it pops up!
