Here’s a teaser of an image I interpreted into a “wedding logo” of sorts… fear not—its uses will be revealed, in time…

But, what does it mean? Well, I’m glad you asked!

We chose the Ganesh because he is known as the Remover of Obstacles and the Lord of Beginnings. According to Kundalini Yoga, Ganesha resides in the first chakra (at the solar plexus), and Ganesha holds, supports, and guides all other chakras, thereby “governing the forces that propel the wheel of life”. That’s right folks, Ganesha is the captain of your Chakra ship. Or maybe in our case, the captain of our Magic Carpet Ride!

I love how this interpretation of him is loose and romantic—even his ears resemble hearts! I included the lotus flower, known for its divine beauty, because the unfolding petals can be seen to represent expansion of the soul. How fitting, I think!

Now, in case you’re wondering—neither Mr. Meatball nor I are Hindu or Buddhist. But we are lovers of Eastern arts and cultures. We also respect many aspects of their respective faiths, and try to integrate those things into our everyday lives. We’re designing a very eclectic ceremony, which borrows our favorite bits of many world religions and spiritual practices, and integrating that sensibility into our design as well. Hence, our “Magic Carpet Ride” theme!

That’s right, friends. My name is Miss Meatball, and I’m a bit of a dirty hippie. Represent!

Are you including a central “logo” in your wedding?
