Wonderful greetings to all our
Lots of Love Readers!
A wedding
is a great opportunity to showcase the personalities of the bride and groom. Couples can opt for a wedding depending on the mood or motif of their choice. A green wedding for those
who love nature, beach wedding for beach lovers and a weekend wedding getaway
for globe trotters.It's the personal touch that makes every wedding more meaningful and special. Same goes with the minutest of wedding details. We
love seeing elements in a wedding that depict the couple’s personal identity like in the use of wedding monograms.
What’s in
a Monogram?
Monograms
refer to a set of letters that are combined to represent a mark of a person or
family. In history, monograms have been associated with royalty or aristocracy.
It has been marked on coins and currency to identify the rulers from its origin. Its use eventually expanded. Monograms were used by artists and guilds to mark
their work or creation. And these days,
we see them being used by designers and corporations as a mark of their
identity, hence the eponymous LV will forever be associated with Louis Vuitton and GE for
General Electric.
Wedding
Monograms
Monograms
found its way to weddings when British royals decided to have their initials
printed on wedding souvenirs. The elaborate and decorative design is added for
personality and identity. The trend must have caught up with the commons and
now, we see them used in weddings of modern day couples.
Proper
Wedding Monogram Etiquette
You might
wonder if there is a hard and fast rule about creating a monogram. Traditionally, the answer
is yes. Wedding monograms are constructed using three letters: the initials of
the bride and groom, usually in small letters flanked by a bigger letter in the
middle representing the initial of the last name of the newlywed couple. But these days, it could just be the couple's initials and the the use of
typeface or font and integration of designs are just preferential and would
really depend on the couple’s personal taste.
While traditionally, wedding
monograms are used in wedding souvenirs, its application has become limitless
and could be used with any wedding element.
Here are several ingenious ways of
personalizing your wedding through the use of wedding monograms:
Embroidered monogram on a wedding dress to keep up with the something blue tradition.
Monogram embroidered on the wedding veil.
In true royal tradition, announce your upcoming wedding by including your monogram on your wedding invite.
Your monogram stamped on personalized hangers to hang your wedding dress with.
