By Navtej Saini Photography: Flashing Lights Photography We are starting to see a big trend in weddings where brides and grooms are taking control and creating a unique experience for their guests. By adding a theme to their big day, cou- ples are branding their love and their love story! You must have seen those hashtags at the last wedding you attended where the bride and groom creative- ly mashed up their name together! #virkitmann, #justlam2017 or even as simple as #mrandmrsbains. It started with hashtags and moved onto their own monogram and logo. Logos can contain the bride and groom’s name and wedding date. Monograms are bride and groom’s initials, formed together in a beautiful way. Monograms and logos are used throughout the entire wedding in dif- ferent ways. including save-the-dates, Invites, wedding website, projector screen, dance floor, wedding pro- grams, menus, etc. Creating a monogram/logo is the first step to wedding design. Next, the bride and groom can create a unique look using their wedding colours and a theme. The theme can tie in the co- lours, outfits and decor. Some couples may like a more floral and playful look, some might prefer a more regal, ele- gant look. These elements paired with the mono- gram/logo can create a personal touch for all guests that reflect the bride and groom’s special day and most of all their love story! For all the couples out there, the possi- bilities are endless! How will you make your wedding memorable? WEDDING ISSUE 04.2017 | AAARZU | 85
