The Wedding Gift List That Lasts a Lifetime — Why We’re Choosing Art

When you think of a wedding gift list, you might picture toasters, bed linens, and champagne flutes. All lovely things, of course. But when we started planning ours, we realised something: we wanted our gifts to be more than just practical — we wanted them to tell a story, to hold memories, and to stay with us for decades to come.

That’s why we’ve chosen to hold our wedding gift list at Westover Gallery.

Instead of a cupboard full of new kitchen gadgets, our friends and family will be helping us create something we can treasure forever — a fund towards a special piece of art.

Why Art?

Art is personal. Every time we look at a painting or sculpture, we’re reminded not just of the artist’s vision, but of the moment in our lives it represents. Choosing a piece together will be part of our first chapter as a married couple — a symbol of love, support, and all the people who made our day possible.

Why Westover Gallery?

Westover Gallery has an incredible collection, from vibrant contemporary works to serene landscapes and bold abstracts. Their team will guide us through the process, helping us find the piece that feels just right for our home and our hearts.

It’s not about filling a wall. It’s about finding that one work that will make us smile every time we pass it, for years — and maybe even decades — to come.

How It Works

Our guests can contribute any amount to our Westover Gallery fund. Every contribution brings us closer to owning that “forever” piece of art. Once we’ve chosen it, we’ll be able to share photos of it in our home — a visual reminder of the love and generosity that surrounded us on our wedding day.

A Legacy of Love

When the flowers fade and the cake is gone, our piece of art will remain — a lasting, tangible expression of our marriage and the people who celebrated it with us. And that’s a gift you truly can’t wrap in paper.
