Art as a wedding gift: 10 unique ideas under €1.000
10 artworks that make unforgettable wedding or anniversary gifts
Wedding season is here! And with it comes the search for a meaningful, lasting gift. While many couples receive tableware, wine, or travel vouchers, few are given something that grows in emotional value over time: a work of art.
At Root Gallery, we believe art makes an unforgettable wedding gift. It’s personal, it’s lasting, and it becomes part of the couple’s shared life. Whether it’s a painting that captures a favourite colour palette, a sculpture that holds a symbolic meaning, or a photograph that reflects their shared passions, art brings beauty and emotion into the home.
Why choose art as a wedding gift?
It’s one-of-a-kind. No one else will have the exact same piece.
It grows in meaning. Over the years, it becomes a visual reminder of the day and of the people who gifted it.
It lasts a lifetime. Unlike flowers or champagne, art doesn’t fade or disappear.
Our curated selection under €1,000
We’ve created a special collection of works by our represented artists, each priced under €1,000. This range from paintings and photography, all carefully chosen for their quality and character. They make for a thoughtful wedding present, but also for an anniversary surprise if you’re celebrating your own love story.
How to choose the right artwork
Think about the couple’s style, colours they live with and the story you’d like the piece to tell. Sometimes, the title of the artwork can be meaningful too. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to help you find something that fits perfectly. All works are ready to hang, making them ideal even for a last-minute but truly unique gift.
Make it personal
We can provide a handwritten note from the artist, or arrange a private viewing before the big day, just let us know in time so we can make it happen.
By Lisette Schumacher

From the series View On Sunset
Lisette Schumacher is a visual artist with a strong interest in modern architecture. Her fascination has led her to numerous architectural sites across Europe and the USA. Currently, her practice focuses on mid-century modern architecture in Los Angeles. While her artistic practice primarily revolves around painting, she has also explored the realms of sculpture and installation. Lisette’s work is part of corporate and private collections in Europe, the United States, and Asia.
Lisette’s interest lies in the notion that architecture provides a fundamental physical experience before leading to intellectual interpretation. On location, she thoroughly observes the construction of spaces, taking note of their shapes and dimensions and paying special attention to how light is optimised for the user. Through intense observation and by moving through each room repeatedly, Lisette absorbs the atmosphere, experiencing the space physically while also interpreting it intellectually. Following this immersive exploration, she delves further into the site's history and the architect's background, conducting in-depth research into techniques, materials, and colour schemes. This process enables her to create a series of intriguing abstract works that reflect the site's atmosphere, history, and design. Lisette’s approach combines a deep appreciation for architectural details with a nuanced understanding of their historical and cultural contexts, resulting in art that captures the essence of the spaces she studies.

By Jan Theun van Rees
50 × 40 cm, edition 1/3 + 1 AP , 2025
Pigment ink on Innova Photorag bright white, mounted on 4 mm museum board
Framed in ‘White Wash’ veneer with spacers and UV70 museum glass
(Also available in 25 x 20 cm, edition 10)
This work is part of the series Painted Room
With Red Room, Jan Theun van Rees continues his exploration of how space is perceived and constructed on the flat picture plane. The work is part of the Painted Room series, in which he intuitively builds and photographs entirely constructed environments.
Red Room exists solely to be photographed, a new, not-yet-existing reality created to express a particular spatial quality. The deep red appears to fill the room like a tangible presence, shaped by light and composition.
As in much of his recent work, Van Rees blurs the line between documentation and invention. Red Room invites the viewer to question what space is, how it comes into being, and the role perception plays in its formation.

Print: pigment link on acid free Innova Soft Textured Bright White (315gr. sq. m.)
Frame: dark wenge wood meneer (Nielsen) with Museumglass (UV70)
Edition 3/7
Jan Theun van Rees holds a life-long fascination for spatial representation on a flat picture plane. This has manifested to his specialisation in photographing (interior-) spaces. He gravitates to spaces that fascinate him, for example, when light plays an unexpected game in a small corner behind a door. His gaze at actual spaces is influenced by his studio work while afterwards the constructed spaces always appear to have their origin in previous spatial experiences. This studio and on-site interaction are inspirational and lead to many new insights and creative opportunities. From 2018 onwards, Jan Theun started constructing his own spaces, created just for the photograph; an intuitive and time intensive process. When he looks through his camera and experiences a space never seen before, he takes the photograph.

By Sophie de Vos
40 x 30 cm, ed. 3/5, 2025
Hahnemuhle, framed in black, museumglass
From the series Fragments of Clarity
The word ‘reflecting’ carries dual meanings; it can refer to an actual reflection — seeing an image mirrored in a glossy surface like glass — or it can describe the process of deep, thoughtful contemplation.
This photographic series by Sophie de Vos intertwines both interpretations, exploring the intersection between the literal and metaphorical aspects of reflection. In this series, Sophie incorporates glass as a physical and conceptual layer over her subjects, manipulating its positioning to create dynamic visual distortions. By alternating and playing with these layers, she raises profound questions about perception: When we look at something, are we truly seeing it as it is, or are we viewing it through the complex prism of our own experiences, biases, and emotions? Sophie challenges the viewer to consider the nature of clarity itself, suggesting that true understanding may be filtered and refracted by the lenses through which we observe the world.
Through this blending of visual and philosophical reflection, the series becomes not just a study of surfaces and subjects, but a deeper inquiry into the limits of perception and understanding.

40 x 30 cm, 2022
Proline Vibrant Satin 290 gr on 2 mm Dibond
Edition 2/6, with walnut frame
In essence, Sophie de Vos’ work revolves around the concept of human nature and the questions surrounding it. Subjects like transience, decay, loss and the passing of time play an important role in her practice. For human beings, these subjects are often emotionally charged, while in nature they are most common. Sophie shows and questions this contrast by creating photographic series in which the human body is accompanied by natural materials. Her works tell stories through image and language by means of her attributed titles. Meanwhile, the carefully determined composition, colours and details form wonderful images. Her work is often sold in very limited editions, giving it more room to be admired while protecting its exclusivity.

By Karen van der Vliet
22 x 18 cm, 2023
Mixed acrylic paint on cotton, framed
Karen van de Vliet is a visual artist known for her abstract, colourful paintings. With music being the bridge to her personal and meditative and creative state, Karen creates wondrous paintings that convey the magic of everyday life.
Karen van de Vliet developed an approach to her work that focusses on the beauty of imperfection. She is intrigued by seemingly ordinary shapes that were not created intentionally, such as weathered and eroded surfaces caused by nature, or casual traces of use. Mesmerised by the shapes in the thick paint of pedestrian walkways, chewing gum on the street or cracks in damaged building blocks, Karen translates these structures and reliefs onto the canvas. Her great love for nature, its trascience and the beauty of everyday life, become visible through abstract, colourful and expressive paintings.
