When you are thinking about your wedding and reception, it can be very helpful to create your overall theme design around one central element. It could be a flower, a vase, a picture, pretty much anything that will allow you to incorporate elements from that particular item into your décor and design. One of the elements that is used a lot today – but it is still, by its very nature a unique element for each and every person – is the monogram.
As early as your save the date and invitation, you can incorporate monograms into as many pieces of your event as you would like. Your veil can even be monogrammed! For an upcoming wedding, a bride and groom of mine have selected a beautiful and simple invitation with a first initial monogram in the corner. Their favors, napkins, and programs will also showcase their monogram. We’re even going a little farther with elements at their “Afterparty” that will bring the monogram full circle.
I found these monograms on Etsy. {http://www.etsy.com/} If you haven’t looked, just let me say that there are so many creative people in this world that really create striking handmade items. You need to go to Etsy! The beautiful work below is created by Sticky Graffiti. {http://www.stickygraffiti.etsy.com/} These are handmade vinyl monograms for your walls. Take a look:
My favorite is, of course, the Celebrate one! I do love the look of the watermark letter behind names, though. Imagine the wall of your reception with this beautiful monogram! Be sure you check into the rules at your facility before you decide to use it! This gives a beautiful and classic touch to your reception without breaking the bank – how budget friendly!!
I’m always on the lookout for any items like this, so if you see something you like, please let me know!
And, for fun, tell me how you used monograms at your wedding!
