What goes on a wedding crest
- Your names. Both first names (“Emma & James”), a shared surname, or two surnames joined with “&” — up to 28 characters on the main ribbon.
- Your date. Put “Married 2026”, “Est. 2026” or the full date on the motto ribbon. A few words in Latin or your own language work too.
- Symbols for each of you. One each is a good rule: a stag and a rose, a mountain and a ship, an oak for the home you are making. Each symbol has a traditional meaning, listed on the meaning page in your download.
- Two colours. Your wedding colours work well. Purple with silver and blue with gold read clearly in print.
- Your pets. The dog who will carry the rings can stand beside the shield.
Where couples use it
- Save-the-dates, invitations and thank-you cards (place the PNG in any template).
- The welcome sign, menus, napkins and the cake topper.
- Framed at home afterwards — most people print it at 8×10 or 11×14 inches.
- As a gift for the couple: add their names and date, print the poster, and wrap the frame.
Which style suits a wedding
Soft watercolor is the one most often seen on invitations: a rounded shield framed by wildflowers. Gold foil minimal looks like engraved stationery on a dark card. Classic painted, with a helm and mantling, is the most formal. You can try each for free before you choose — three previews a day.
Is this an official coat of arms?
No. It is an original design made for the two of you, not a grant of arms and not a historical record. That is what makes it yours: nobody else has it, and everything on it was chosen by you.
