What Makes Poppie Studios Unique
🐾 Because I love pets as much as we love weddings, I’ll have cat and dog treats to give away — a small reminder that I donate a portion of all my profits to local animal rescues – in memory of Bailee and in honor of Frank and Curtis. I also create custom Signature Drinks bar signs featuring pet portraits, so your furry family members can be celebrated at your wedding!

Custom Wedding Invitations
Your invitation suite is the first impression of your wedding — it deserves thoughtful design, beautiful paper, and expert guidance from start to finish.
Live Wedding Guest Painting
A painting created by a live artist during your wedding captures emotion, movement, and atmosphere in a way no photo can. Couples often choose to have:
• The ceremony painted
• The first dance captured
• A family portrait scene rendered live
• A reception moment immortalized
