— Weddings
Your family crest, embroidered for your wedding.
An embroidered banner of your family crest or combined marriage arms. Displayed at the ceremony, then kept as an heirloom for future generations.
— Ideas
Ways to bring a family crest into your wedding day.
01
Marriage arms
Two family crests combined in one design, side by side or impaled on one shield, as heraldic tradition does for a marriage.
02
Names and date
Your names and wedding date, embroidered on a ribbon below the crest or along the border.
03
Family motto
An existing motto, or a new one chosen together, in classic lettering.
04
At the ceremony
A banner at the entrance, behind the altar or at the top table: a striking backdrop for the photographs.
05
Heirloom
Displayed at home after the wedding and passed on later. Hand embroidery lasts for generations.
— Our work
Two families, one cloth.
A selection of marriage arms we made for couples: both family crests side by side, with names, wedding date and country of origin on hand-embroidered ribbons.
— Process
From an old drawing or idea to a finished banner.
01
Crest or idea
Send an existing crest, an old drawing, a photo or simply an idea.
02
Design
We create a design and refine it with you, usually in one or two rounds.
03
Technical drawing
The approved design becomes a precise embroidery drawing.
04
Embroidery
The crest is embroidered, finished and delivered in time for the wedding.
— Planning
Order well before the wedding date.
Production usually takes 4 to 8 weeks, depending on size and complexity. Add time for the design stage, so ideally get in touch a few months before the wedding. Rush orders are sometimes possible; just ask.
