How to draw a bride and groom step by step
How to Draw a Bride and Groom · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Groom's head and hair
Draw a round face on the left with a fluffy cap of hair on top. Add a little curved ear on the left side of his face.
Step 3: Face, collar and buttons
Add two small dots for eyes and a little curved smile. Below the chin, draw a small V for the collar and a short column of dots for buttons.
Step 4: Bride's head and veil
Draw a second round face to the right, a little lower. Cover the top with a curved cap of hair, then draw a long veil that loops over her head and drapes down her back to a curl at the bottom.
Step 5: The bride's face
Give the bride two small dots for eyes and a little curved smile, just like the groom's.
Step 6: Jacket and first leg
Draw the groom's rounded jacket under his head, with the arm curving down on the left. Add the wavy bottom edge of the jacket, then one long straight line down for the side of his pants.
Step 7: Bow tie and bride's arm
Draw a bow tie under the groom's chin with two little triangles and a knot in the middle. Add two short curved lines below the bride's face for the start of her arm.
Step 8: Second leg and shoe
Draw a slanted line down from the jacket for his other pant leg. Finish with a rounded shoe at the bottom.
Step 9: The bride's dress
Draw the bride's shoulders and arms, then sweep the skirt out wide like a big bell. Make the bottom edge gently wavy.
Step 10: The wedding bouquet
Draw a bunch of flowers in the bride's hands using small loops and petal shapes. Add a few short stems hanging below.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a bride and groom
- Draw the groom first, then tuck the bride's veil and dress next to him so the lines do not cross.
- The bouquet is the trickiest part, so think of it as a few small loops and teardrops bunched together.
- Make the bride's skirt wide at the bottom by starting with a triangle, then rounding the corners.
