Afrocentric Wedding Trends 2009

Happy New Year! We here in Kenya have eagerly been awaiting a fresh new year and it is here.
Colours… themes…. this year …..
Judging from the economic state worldwide at the end of the year, wedding budgets are bound to get tighter. Smaller weddings will be the way to go, with more focus on details.
Afrocentric themes round nature are worth considering such as forest theme, jungle theme and safari theme.
Grey is in this year, so are accents of plum, purples and blues. For an afrocentric feel, try grey and moss green.
This year. be creative …. let us at Envision Tarizi work with you on your wedding invitations and event invitations.
May all your hopes and dreams come true this year, may we continue to enjoy peace.

Wedding Invitation Wording

The intricacies of text on a wedding invitation can be a big debate. Let’s take it from the Kenyan perspective. A wedding involves the whole family and community. In most Kenyan traditions, the groom’s family hosts the reception.  However when it comes to the wedding invitation, both family’s names are included. Therefore when considering the text to use on a Kenyan wedding invitation, it is best to include the parents names. They are always are proud to be acknowledged and included in every aspect of the wedding celebration.
