Wedding is the most long-awaited day for each couple. Of course, young people want their holiday to look beautiful and be remembered by the guests. A lot of jewelry is used for this purpose. One of them is the wedding coat of arms. What kind of symbol is and what is its meaning, we will consider in the article.
What does a wedding coat of arms look like?
The monogram, which will be discussed later, is a fashionable feature borrowed from Western celebrations. Simply put, this is a symbol of a new family in which the initial letters of the names of the bride and groom are intertwined in the form of a single inscription. It turns out fashionable, fresh and very stylish. The photo shows the wedding coat of arms of Prince William and his wife Kate Midolton.
The idea of a wedding coat of arms is also perfect for fans of historical series such as Game of Thrones.
Where to begin?
So, you decided to create a unique symbol of your celebration. Of course, in order to make wedding emblems of wood, you need a certain talent and serious professional skills, so try to recreate the logo on paper. The main question: what to draw first? Maybe start right away with the letters, as in the royal inscription, or think of what will happen around the monogram, and then write the first letters of the names of the bride and groom?
It is not at all difficult to draw a wedding coat of arms with your own hands. The first thing to do is decide on the shape of the future family emblem. There are three most popular forms of designing a family coat of arms:
- Curved, in the shape of a shield.
- Round.
- Oval.
If necessary, emblem templates can be found on the Internet and print blank forms. Once you have decided on the "frame", you can begin to fill it.
What can be included in the wedding coat of arms
At the wedding, to make the coat of arms a success, it’s worth turning on the fantasy at full capacity. This is your holiday, and it is everything for you. Of course, you can simply write the first letters or surnames of the bride and groom, like the royal couple, adding curlicues to them. But you can do everything and much more interesting.
To decide what your wedding coat of arms will include, brainstorm with your lover, connect your parents and witnesses. The essence of the monogram on the wedding emblem is the first letters of the names and some common line connecting them together. This principle is always maintained: something must be depicted on the coat of arms that unites the newlyweds together. Here are some examples:
- Symbols that both of you associate with fidelity and love: it can be a pair of hearts connected together, two rings, as a symbol of the infinity of love and fidelity to these obligations to be with each other to the end and in joy and sorrow. An infinity sign is also suitable, a pair of swans or wolves (wolves always choose a she-wolf for life and participate in raising puppies, protect them, so they can be put together with beautiful white birds).
- That which loves each of you, that defines you. For example, you love white roses, and your beloved cannot imagine his life without a guitar or a motorcycle - it's time to put them on the coat of arms.
- If you have a thematic wedding, the coat of arms should correspond to the style of the celebration. For a romantic wedding, you can take the attribute of some melodrama. What couple do you associate with? Maybe it's Rose and Jack from the Titanic, or maybe Richard Gere and Julia Roberts? Do you like Game of Thrones? Then it's time to place your favorite Westeros houses on your coat of arms or, for example, Khalisi dragons and Stark's white wolves. Such a coat of arms fits perfectly into a thematic wedding. Or maybe the images of Ragnar and Lagerta are close to you? Then the swords on both sides of the coat of arms are what you need.
- A common dream. Each couple has their own dream: to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower, go to Tibet or around the world, or go flying in a balloon ... Depict your dream on the coat of arms.
- Is your bride or groom from another country? A great option would be to design a coat of arms in a mixed style. For example, the English flag over a traditional red telephone box and the traditional Russian symbol. Alternatively, you can use the Teddy bear, as opposed to the formidable bear.
- On the emblem it is logical to depict what brought you close together, made you get to know: a ticket to a concert or a movie (if you still have the same ticket it will be even better), a pet or something else from the history of your acquaintance.
Some emblem design tips
- The initials of the young are located in the center. The surname can be written on a drawn ribbon.
- Start writing from the center of the ribbon, from the center letter of the last name, adding one on each side.
- The inscriptions must be written in a single font.
After all the characters are applied, you can proceed to decorate the frame with bows, lace or flowers, as you wish. Once the work is completed, you can paint it with pencils, felt-tip pens or paints and take the sketch to the nearest workshop or wedding salon. Specialists will select the right material for you, suggest new trends and design solutions, complementing your idea.
Where else can I use a monogram
Usually the wedding coat of arms is located behind the young ones, but the monogram depicted on it can also be placed on the sleeve of the jacket in the form of embroidery, a scarf or the sole of the shoes. The emblem can decorate cutlery, guest menus, invitations and napkins.
Create your own designer wedding coat of arms with your own hands. Let it become a symbol of your love and fidelity to each other, a true exclusive present for each other.
