Customize Your Wedding With a Family Crest
Every couple wants their wedding to be special and unique. A great way to achieve this is by using a personalized detail that is exclusive to you and your wedding. One of the most interesting motifs to use in your wedding is your family crest.
If your family does not have a crest, it is no problem – you can design your own, or have a company custom create one to your specifications. The fun part about about designing your own crest is that you can include symbols that are important to both the bride and groom, instead of using a motif from just one family. There are some great sites online that will walk you through designing an authentic and rich looking family crest.
An ideal setting for a wedding with a family crest being used would be a setting that looks like an old English manor house. Rich wood panelling, as can be found in formal libraries or certain private clubs is the look that you should seek out in a venue. And you can’t go wrong with an old stone church for the ceremony site.
The bride and her attendants should be dressed formally for this type of wedding. It would be ideal to pick out a color from your family crest to use for the bridesmaid dresses. Rich and serious colors like navy, burgundy, and hunter green would all make excellent choices. Finish off the look with classic pearl bridesmaid jewelry. Not only will pearl bridesmaid jewelry suit the formality of the wedding, but it makes a wonderful gift from the bride.
The crest itself can be used in many places. Of course you will want it on the top of your wedding invitations. It would be fantastic to have a large one created that can be hung on the church doors, or in a prominent spot in the reception venue. Your crest can also be printed on napkins and favor boxes. For a truly regal touch, have your family crest embroidered on the bride and groom’s seat covers at the reception.
A family crest is one of those details that will set your wedding apart. It is an unexpected detail that will make your wedding feel rich in tradition. Whether you have a crest that has been used in your family for generations, or you plan to create a new one to symbolize your new family, it is a wonderful way to personalize your wedding.
