Live Fashion Sketches for Weddings
"Candy’s work is phenomenal! She is so professional, responsive and talented. We had Candy as a live illustrator at our wedding and she added the best element of surprise and fun to the reception. Our guests absolutely loved her; and one week on we are still receiving messages of ‘wow’ and ‘thanks’ from our guests talking about how special it was to be able to take away a personalised memento of the night. We’d recommend Candy a thousand times over! - Bianca + Rob 2024"
Candy Ng is an experienced live event fashion illustrator, based in Melbourne. She illustrated for Prada, YSL, Balenciaga, Montblanc, Jo Malone London, Qantas, Kate Spade, Guerlain, Bendigo Art Gallery and Golden Age Group.
As a live wedding illustrator, I love working closely with brides-to-be, wedding stylists and planners to capture the special moments with live fashion sketches and portraits at weddings.
Live Wedding Illustrations: Making your wedding unique and unforgettable
At every wedding, my goal is to create an unforgettable experience for both the couple and their guests. One way to achieve this is through live wedding illustration, my most popular and unique offering!
I specialize in capturing the charm and elegance of your guests and their outfits at weddings. I will ensure that every guest feels seen and appreciated through my illustrations. It's the best way to let your guests know how important they are.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
-
-
SETUP: I will arrive at your venue 30 minutes before the wedding to set up. I will bring all the art supplies; all I need from you is a rectangular table (so I can display more sketches) and a chair, light refreshment if the booking is over 5 hours.
-
STEP 1 - POSE FOR THE PHOTOS: I will invite your guests to pose for photos, which I will use as references for the fashion sketches. Once I start painting, many guests will be excited to get their photos taken, ready for me to create some magic with their fashion sketches!
-
STEP 2 - ENJOY THE PARTY: Guests are welcome to watch while I paint, but they don't need to queue or wait for their portraits. They can continue to mingle and enjoy the wedding.
-
STEP 3 - COME BACK LATER FOR THE DRAWING: During the wedding, I will keep painting and turn the table into a pop-up gallery, where guests can see their own and others' illustrations. This is often the fun part! At the end of the wedding, guests are welcome to take their sketches home.

REAL WEDDING
"I found Candy on instagram and we had her at our wedding at Coombe in the Yarra Valley in February to draw illustrations of our guests. It was such a hit and everyone loved it!! She even sent us a drawing after the wedding too and we will frame it. She was super lovely, easy to communicate with - we would highly recommend her for your special event.Frankie + Tuan 2024”
