Last Week to Win Our Newlywed Art.com Giveaway!

Are you ready for an Art.com giveaway?! What makes a truly great picture? Some may argue that there needs to be a specific resolution, great lighting and depth of field for a good photo. I beg to differ on this one! Some of my very favorite photos are from my own wedding when the photographer’s lens fogged over due to the humidity. The result was a series of dreamy images of two newlyweds leaving the church and driving off down the road. I believe that a great picture needs to provoke a strong emotion in the viewer.

If your favorite photo shows you and your beloved on the beach, but you elbow is cut off….who cares? Frame that picture and remember all of the fun of that exact moment in your newlywed life!

Newlywed Art Advice: Compromise

Do you need some newlywed art advice? Art is defined as: the creation of works of beauty or other special significance. That being said, there is a very wide range of ideas about what is and isn’t art. Newlyweds are the most likely segment of the population to experience this variance in a very personal way. As you combine your worldly goods, you may be in for some surprises in the art department!

For example, you may have a framed Monet print and know that it is indeed art by most people’s standards. Your husband may see the same print as a really blurry elementary school project while his framed Chicago Bulls poster (from college) is worthy of the prized spot over your living room couch. What can a newly married couple do?

Hopefully you both can compromise on your tastes and use your collective art to decorate your home. If your partner has one particular piece that drives you crazy, consider offering him a trade. Tell him he can select any item out of your wall art to give to Good Will as long as you can do the same thing. You need to be willing to part with the fuzzy kitty inspirational poster from high school if you expect him to get rid of something that is important to him too.

Compromise is the way to go unless your beloved’s art collection includes naked women that you find offensive, images of his previous girlfiend(s)/wife, or truly gory/scary stuff. In that circumstance you need to hold your ground and stoop to calling his mother about the situation if necessary. For most of you, you know your spouse well enough that art won’t result in major conflict in your marriage. If there is some unhappiness about a certain wall or section of your home, consider selecting a piece for that spot together. That way you’ll both enjoy the view.

Announcing Our Awesome Art Giveaway For November!

As a newlywed, you probably have a metric ton of fabulous photos. There’s the digitals from your wedding photographer, the pictures that your friends and family took of your Big Day as well as all the images of you and your love on your honeymoon. So what’s a girl supposed to do with all of these photos besides make an album?

It’s really this idea of “making” a great photograph that is the inspiration behind the new Photos to Art service at Art.com. A great photograph starts with the image but how it’s printed, personalized and finished makes all the difference. Photos to Art makes it easy to transform your digital wedding, honeymoon or family images into high-quality, large-scale, beautifully-finished and ready-to-hang wall art.

Unlike mass photographic printing, Photos to Art images are individually inspected for image quality and then printed, either onto high-quality photographic paper or artist-grade cotton canvas. For photographs on paper, a wide variety of mouldings and acid-free mats are available to create beautiful, custom-framed pieces that will last a lifetime. Photos on canvas are stretched onto 1 ½” wooden support bars, museum-wrapped with hand-painted black edges and covered with an anti-UV acrylic finish to protect the image from dust, fading and moisture. Custom packaging ensures your personalized artwork will arrive at your doorstep in excellent condition, and all products are backed with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
