What is a relationship timeline?
A relationship timeline is a one-of-a-kind, illustrated artwork that tells the story of your love, through art. From first dates and in-jokes to proposals, pets, and unforgettable holidays, it captures the milestones that made you a couple.
Think of it as a visual love letter – hand-drawn, personalised, and completely unique to your story.
Couples are choosing relationship timelines as wedding keepsakes, anniversary gifts, and even proposal ideas. And it’s easy to see why: these aren’t just beautiful pieces of art. They’re a celebration of your journey together.
Why are relationship timelines so popular?
Couples are craving something more personal, more emotional and more original, so these story of us / relationship timelines are great for couples. They can be displayed at weddings to entertain guests (this is what I did for my own wedding), or given as a thoughtful gift for a loved one.

Engagements & proposals
Birthdays
“Just because” gifts
What can be included in my custom relationship timeline?
Everything that makes you you.
Every timeline is completely bespoke. No two timelines are ever the same. That’s what makes them magic. Some popular ideas include:
- How you met (e.g. “swiped right at 2am” or “on the train to Bristol”)
- First date spot
- Moving in together
- Pets (yes, we’ve drawn cats, dogs, and one very fluffy rabbit)
- Favourite holidays and festivals
- Memorable quotes or sayings
- The proposal moment
- The wedding venue or dream destination
How are they made?
At Lovelines, the process is collaborative and personal from start to finish:
- You share your story. All the memorable moments you want featured. I’ll ask you questions to get an idea of what to include.
- I’ll sketch it out. You’ll see an early draft to approve or tweak.
- I’ll illustrate it by hand. Digital drawing or pencil – outline or full colour – your choice.
- You receive it. As a digital file, art print, or framed piece ready to hang on your wall or display at your wedding.
I also keep you updated along the way with sneak peeks and progress shots. It’s like watching your love story come to life.
What makes a relationship timeline so special?
It’s not just something you hang on a wall. It’s something you feel.
Many couples tell us it’s the most meaningful part of their wedding decor, or the most romantic anniversary gift they’ve ever received.
Some frame it in their hallway. Some use it as wedding signage. Some even keep it in a little frame on their office desk.
Can I gift a relationship timeline?
Yes! In fact, they make incredible gifts for:
- Friends who just got engaged
- Parents celebrating a milestone anniversary
- Partners who are impossible to shop for
- Yourself, because your story deserves to be told beautifully
