Wedding Crest

In trying to create a consistent feel between all my print pieces I decided that since I was an artist I would like to create a custom crest, a monogram that I could use throughout the entire wedding as a symbol of our wedding and our commitment to each other. I wanted something small, simple and classic, that I could use for the rest of my life, something that I was not going to get sick of in a year or two. After a ton of research and digging through a lot of various iconography and the meanings of various things I decided that our symbol would focus on three things:

1. I would like it to represent our love and commitment
2. I would like it to represent the spirituality
3. Symbolize eternity together

I knew I wanted water as a part of the image. Water is representative of spiritual aspect of divine love, eternity, fertility, cleanliness, and life. And then I love animals and I found that the peacock represents a lot of what I was looking for. The peacock represents love, immortality, royalty, beauty, holiness, compassion, and luck.

After many different versions this is the final image that I designed and then later sent to be put on a stamp. I will purchase some ink in the colors of the wedding and stamp a lot of the things for the wedding events.
