Why You Should Incorporate a Custom Wedding Monogram

Having a custom wedding monogram is a unique and fun way to elevate your wedding! There are so many ways to incorporate your wedding monogram design and we hope this blog inspires you to include your own in your wedding season!

Why have a custom wedding monogram?

What better way to showcase your union than by combining your initials or names in a custom wedding monogram! Think of it as your new brand – a personal, unique and modern way to showcase your wedding day and your life as a newly married couple! Elevate your wedding brand with a personal symbol for all your guests to see and love! And the best part, you can make it completely your own!

Couples can choose their wedding monogram design from a variety of formats making it as simple as their first initials combined with a “+” or an “&” or as complex having their initials intertwined as one. Even more so, your custom wedding monogram can be completely catered to your taste in font, boldness, order of initials, or even surrounding design. Having a personalized wedding monogram is a great reminder of your special day and an incredible symbol of your union in marriage.

How can I create a personalized wedding monogram?

Getting started can be very intimidating. Who’s letter should go first? What font do you use? Should the design be big and bold or soft and cursive? The many options can all be a lot to someone who is new to creating a personalized monogram for weddings.

Our best recommendation is going on Pinterest to find design inspiration. This can help you narrow the style you’re looking for and provide a general idea for what you might want your design to look like. Next, we create the custom wedding monogram design. There are many tools available for you to actually get around to making the design. If you’re the artsy type, it can be as simple as grabbing your ipad, opening a drawing app, and creating (or recreating) a custom wedding monogram as your own. But let’s say you’re like the 90% of the world who are not quite so artsy – no fear! There are plenty of free monogram makers at your disposal! It’s as simple as a google search, however keep in mind that oftentimes with free monogram makers, your options in fonts and designs can be limited.

If you are looking for a specific design for your personalized wedding monogram, you can purchase a digital download of designs from websites like bliss and bone or Etsy . Once you have your self made, free, or purchased digital download of your custom wedding monogram, you can then incorporate that digital download into custom monogram wedding decorations and details!
