Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

Wedding program designed by Hadiya Williams for the wedding of Shantrelle Lewis and Oluwatoyin Lawson. The program has an outer maroon cover and inner white pages folded in half and bound with black string. A golden wax stamp with lion insignia is placed on the front cover. The lion is in silhouette standing on its hind legs, one leg rests on a crescent moon while his arms hold a sun with radiating rays. The inner pages have text in silver ink. The first page has silhouettes of a man on the left and woman with an afro hairstyle on the right, both in profile and facing each other. Below the silhouettes, three lines join to make a "V" shape design with the letter [Z] in the center, surrounded by the wedding date, [11/19 / 20/16]. Below the silhouettes, the bride and groom’s names are printed in cursive, reading [Shantrelle / & / Oluwatoyin].
