Design w/Chon: Custom Monograms

A custom monogram is a great way to brand your wedding. It can appear on your wedding invite, the wedding cake, favor tags, be hand-stamped or printed onto napkins or favor bags. It can even be customized to be projected by light onto the dance floor for your reception. By intertwining the first initials of the bride & groom into a unique emblem, it's original to the couple, it's the symbol of the couple's union/bond, and it's forever.

For my last wedding invite client, she had a great idea for the custom monogram that I designed for her wedding invitation. She is going to take the custom monogram (below in purple), and get it embroidered onto shawls for her girlfriends and family members as wedding gifts. It's something that they will keep forever and remember. To see the full wedding invitation, click here.

These next few designs are of the roman numeral X for an 2010 October wedding. This particular client wanted a very strong X mark, but wanted it to be different, graphic, have personality along with it being elegant since it is for a wedding. I presented her with over 5-6 designs, and the 4 seen here were my top picks. I pushed the envelope on the design, more than what she wanted, because I wanted to show her how much you can manipulate the letter X and have fun with it. And the winner is — the last one pictured; simple, elegant and still has movement.

If anyone out there needs a custom mark for their special day or event, get in touch with me via email. I can customize practically anything to meet your needs. We just need to chat to get the ideas rolling.
