Artfully Preserving Your Wedding Memories
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.
