I don’t have a specific question to share today, but rather one I get from so many brides.  They want their wedding to have their personal stamp marked on their special day.  And there are many ways to do this, but the most popular and easy is “monogramming.”  This is the newest trend in weddings and wedding planning.

A monogram is a combining of initials in an ornate fasion.  Monograms are a key way to implement your personal touch.  There are several areas where you can add your monogram to create an elegant effect.

Monogrammed aisle runners are a great way to incorporate your monograms.  These can be as ornate and bedazzling as you want.  If you get the urge, you can even make these on your own.   

Mongrammed table cloths - I love this idea, especially for the bride and groom table or head table.  You can position the monogram on the table cloth so it can be seen by all of your guests during your wedding reception.  

You can also do monogrammed dance floors.  When you take your first dance, people can see your specially made initials. 

Monogram lights - You can also do lights on walls so that your monograms shine behind your head table or sweetheart table.

Monogrammed stationary is also a great idea.  You can tie the monogram into the whole planning process, from start to finish, including the invitiations, save the dates, thank you cards, response and place cards.  This would really be a great idea for a complete infusion of your monogram. 

Aside from monograms, pictures can also be used to personalize your wedding.   You can incorporate pictures throughout your whole wedding in the same way as mongrams; invititations, save the dates, thank you cards, etc.  People love to see pictures of the bride and groom.  You can use pictures on each table for table numbers or for place cards with frames.  

When you personalize your weddings, you are allowing your guests to not just come to a wedding but to come to YOUR  wedding.

Happy Planning!
