Our Marriage Ceremony Crest

Lets beak all things marriage crest! It's been a crazy route but in conclusion possess got finalized what we'll live on using. The start icon higher upwards has our Save the Date map, but the crest is non the 1 nosotros went with. It's merely the start 1 that was drawn. We went amongst a variation of something from the start row below!

TBH this was sort of a mess that I possess got 100% credit for. I knew I wanted a marriage crest because I intend it's fun to possess got too adds a petty extra affect to a ton of dissimilar things. I had a designer that I loved too I wanted to usage but it was roughly $900 to brand practise it too I didn't desire to pass that much.

I started researching too looking too pinning too googling too searching until my eyes crossed for a designer I liked too was reasonably priced. I establish 1 I idea I genuinely loved too reached out. The toll was fair-ish too nosotros started working. I genuinely liked the outline of the crests they made too was genuinely happy at first. But when it came to the monogram itself, it was bad. It was every bit if she used photoshopped letters too placed them to a greater extent than or less to effort too brand something new. Long floor real short: it didn't run out amongst them too I lost some money.

Then I was like, "f&$k it" too took 1 weekend to effort my mitt at Photoshop. I was Googling font letters too trying to detect a variation of our monogram that I genuinely liked. That proved to live on the hardest part. I was STRUGGLING amongst the missive of the alphabet "L" because it sort of made things lopsided (it's non a symmetrical letter). Fast forwards 5 hours, I was photoshopping -- drawing too redrawing -- letters together too establish that I loved how the K too Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 could layer.

I was a petty worried that I was neglecting the most of import purpose (the L) but a friend assured me that the initials run merely every bit well, peculiarly earlier we're married. So I went amongst the Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 too K. Fast forwards again, too I finalized the crest (the start crest/first row inwards the icon above) too I was feeling good. I was thence happy amongst how it turned out. I continued to tweak too re-tweak the colors too took the side past times side calendar week or thence reworking it, looking at it too then... ugh... starting to abhor it.

I hated that you lot could country the letters were figurer drawn too the residue was mitt drawn (the crest was from the master copy designer). I hated the colors. I started to come across purple. And thence I merely got nauseous looking at it. Which I know is such an overreaction but I seriously was upwards at 3am multiple nights working on it too I started to resent it.

While all this was going on, nosotros were working on our Save the Date map amongst Emily of Feathered Heart Prints and she was such a dream. She was professional, tardily to run amongst too she was GOOD! After a lot of dorsum too forth (and non telling Andrew lol) I decided to inquire Emily to re-work our crest. 

God bless her because she set inwards WORK amongst all the edits too redrawn crests too variations I was quest for. We went through 5 rounds of proofs too I intend similar twenty options until settling on "the one." In the terminate nosotros went amongst something that I saw during the minute circular of edits, but I merely needed to come across all the options earlier deciding.

We were this close to going amongst the 3rd pick on the start row but ultimately ended upwards finding the to a greater extent than traditional crest was amend inwards melody amongst the agency of the wedding.

So a long LONG floor real curt is Emily is amazing. If you lot desire to run amongst her for whatsoever custom paints, please accomplish out to her. She does merely nearly everything (even non-wedding stuff!) too is seriously talented too amazing to run with. I'm excited to present you lot our Save the Date map at a afterwards time. You volition come across how talented she is!
