I like the idea of adding touches of our heritage without having a total African Theme to our weddings. I mean, most of our backgrounds are a total mix of cultures anyway. Here are a few of my favorites that
just nod in the direction of our exotic culture:

Something as simple as choosing vibrant colors is a great way to pay homage to our African heritage. I am so in love with the vibrant color palatte [url=http://www.jlmcouture.com/Sneak-Peek/Alvina-Valenta-Fall-2010-Sneak-Peek]Alvina Valenta[/url] uses for bridesmaids. They will surely "wake up" your guests!

This is a great initiative and a very good-step to adding our heritage in our marriage ceremonies. American culture is much diversified and has got a very rich-cultural heritage, which has some great historical significance as well.
This culture is very deep-rooted and we should incorporate it in our wedding ceremonies, which not only gives a great impression but this is also worthwhile for our new generation to carry on these culture and civilizations which will stay forever.
