African Art Monograms

And behold, there are African symbols! Yes, my Black bride and groom, you too can express your ethnic-based love in a simple monogram with beautiful hues of color.
For example, check out the monogram on the right. Simple shapes of circles which provides the ambiance of unity and infinity (circles are unbroken and continual..much like your wedding rings) But in the background of one of the circles is an Adinkra symbol. It's suddle, yet effective and mixed with the sophistication of a script font. Now the hot color for this wedding year is Pantone color called "mimosa" which is the color featured here.
Also as I stated earlier, this color could be used in a monochromatic style, which is also another hot trend for 2009. But the choice is all yours. Now this monogram doesn't have to have just one inital, it can have both, but the balance(visual symetry) must be taken into consideration when doing that.
If you have any questions or comments about this monogram, please feel free to email me at soulmate_designs@ymail.com. Its a great way to infuse your African heritage into your wedding.

KISS: Keep it Simple, Sweetie!

As with any design, the primary key is to KISS; keep it simple, sweetie! (not stupid in this case just because we aren't stupid!) Too much of anything can detract from the overall message of your monogram or logo design. What is worse in a wedding when the bridesmaids dresses or some other details take away from the bride and groom themselves! Uggh.

Here is my mantra; less is better and more economical too. If you have the money to go all out, that's on you; have a ball. But if you are like me and other people who counts pennies (especially in this economy), then I say try to do some of the wedding details yourself,or have a wedding invitation put-together get-together! Nothing beats having food, some bubbly and some hands to help.
