I was at the St. Lawrence Market Antique Market today and I found a new silhouette picture. I am currently completely in love with silhouettes. I’m in the process of collecting a group of silhouette pictures to display on my wall all together. With today’s find that brings my grand total up to… 3 pictures! I still have a ways to go, unfortunately.
Here’s a look at my rather limited collection (both photos by me):
That’s the new one I bought today. It’s hand painted on wood and it’s from the 1930s or ’40s. I’m quite in love!
Anyway, just for fun I’ve included a bit more silhouette inspiration below for any of you who are equally loving silhouettes right now.

I really like the women’s washroom sign. That might be a fun way to work silhouettes into our wedding. Although, honestly, I’d probably be the only person who would notice!
Do you have a great way of working silhouettes into a wedding?
The yellow bride and groom next to the pretty yellow/pink envelope liner is the designer of my invitations!! Love them! 
My sister made silhouettes for us that we will put in oval frames and have displayed on the escort card table. I might use them for the table numbers too.
The bathroom signs are a great idea! I might use that too
I think the last picture of the bride and groom silhouettes is a simple way of adding them to a wedding. I really like the picture of the family silhouettes by Alexandra Hedin.
These definitely evoke a romantic, vintage, almost french thene, love it!
We had a silhouette made of the two of us at Disney World.
We made it into a stamp to make the tags for our tea bag favors, and also had it made into postage for our invitations!
I love it! If you have photoshop or illustrator you could easily make a set of you and Mr. K and hang them on the bathroom doors and wherever else you fancy. Print it on some cream paper and maybe it will look a little more vintage-y.
Oh, my mother got an artist to do silhouettes of my sister and me when we were little, and they’ve been hanging in our living room for as long as I can remember. They match the dozen+ silhouettes of family members that my grandparents have hanging on black satin ribbons from a wrought-iron hanging bar in their living room. Such a lovely tradition. I’d love to get some done of FI and myself. No silhouettes in our wedding though.
Have you considered having your own silhouettes done? Or doing them yourself on photoshop or with a tracer? If you don’t have time and are interested, it’s actually a very simple thing for a professional artist to do
I love these as well, looking forward to seeing how you incorporate them into your wedding!
I had mine done as a child, at Disneyland. I wonder if you could hire a silhouette cutter as a wedding activity/favor?
I am totally in love with silhouettes, too! I did one of my dog and, although it’s not exactly related, it is one of my favorite pieces of household decor!
You can see it here:
i love these too! can’t wait to see what you do to incorporate them 
[...] for silhouettes of us! I’m so excited. As you might remember from this post, I am a huge fan of silhouettes. I’ve been toying with the idea of using them in our wedding [...]
[...] a silhouette of Queen Elizabeth. The stamps tie together our Christmas theme and my love of silhouettes. We printed out those and glued them to the invites (and yes, that stamp is purposely glued [...]
