Monograms - The ins & outs

What is the Proper Monogram for Married Couples?

Monograms are elegant motifs using initials. These wedding details stand out to your guest and symbolize the unity of the spouses as they begin their journey as one.

Monograms can be extravagant or take on a more traditional minimalist design. Monograms aren’t just for embroidered clothing anymore, here are some unique designs and ways to incorporate your monogram in unique ways! They are another keepsake that is meant to symbolize your unity.

Couple Monograms

Personalizing your wedding celebration will bring that connection and touch of elegance to your celebration. You can get creative with your spouse by selecting your initials and crafting them on linens, invitations, programs, menu’s, seating charts, reception drinkware, and much more.  

Traditionally the bride will take the groom's last name after taking their vows, so in creating a classic monogram, the bride's first name initial appears first, followed by the groom's surname, and finally, the groom's first initial.

·  For instance: Elena Yvette Gilbert and Jeremy William Gilbert
· The joint monogram is EGJ, with the center letter slightly larger than the rest.

Types of Monograms

From a minimalist, classical, or contemporary design, a customized monogram can capture much more than your initials, it can capture your bond. Typically, a more traditional wedding has a monogram with letters of equal size, but if you are a bit bolder another sophisticated design would highlight the center letter with a distinctive style and/or size.

For initials of the same size, arrange the letters sequentially, starting from the first, middle then the last. If the middle letter is larger, begin with the first, last, and finally, the middle initial. There is always room for creativity, but keeping a recognizable structure will ensure the design stands the test of time.

Customized Designs

Weddings should be unique and feature iconic and creative designs that bring back fond memories and instant recognition by your guests. Choosing personal design touches adds a level of sophistication to weddings, anniversaries, and celebrations. Your monogram can even incorporate subtle graphics and illustrations that capture your loves and interests. A classic monogram isn’t just used on your wedding day, it is meant to live on as a symbol of your unity going forward in all of life’s celebrations  

Where to Use Monograms

Adding your monogram to other areas of your celebration is a great way to add exclusivity to an extravagant wedding or a dash of sophistication to a relaxed reception. There really isn’t a rule to where you can use your monogram, but here are a few suggestions.

· Cups & Glasses
·  Napkins/Linen’s
·  Can Coolers
·  Menus & Seating Charts
·  Plates
·  Cocktail Stirrers
·  Candles
·  Lighting & Projection
·  Board Games / Playing Cards

Taking some time to add personalized touches to your wedding day can make it more memorable for you and your guests. There are numerous ways couples have used their monograms that we haven’t even mentioned, so think outside the box, get creative and let’s get to work on making your day truly memorable.

Wax Seals-01.png
 

Sealing wax is a wax material of a seal which, after melting, hardens quickly forming a bond that is difficult to separate without noticeable tampering. Wax is used to verify something such as a document is unopened, to verify the sender's identity, for example with a signet ring, and as decoration.
