11 Creative Ways to Show Off Your New Monogram at Your Wedding

Monograms may be a bit traditional, but these creative ways to work them into your wedding are anything but boring! So, think beyond the cake and thank you notes, and consider some of these clever ways to show off your new initials on the big day... 1. Your getting-ready outfit. Have a robe or shirt you plan to wear while primping before the wedding? Get it embroidered or printed with your monogram. It’ll make for beautiful pictures. Plus, using your initials instead of something like “The Bride” means you can wear it for years to come. Photo by Ginny Corbett 2. Your wedding day attire. Want to make your wedding outfit even more special? Add your initials somewhere! Stitch them onto a shirt cuff, the lining of a dress, a collar, or another subtle location for an adorable detail.

Some brides wear something more delicate during the ceremony and switch to this bolder option for the reception. Photo by Aislinn Kate Photography 4. Your wedding rings. Take the jewelry idea a step further. This one is less of a display—in fact, it’s a more private way to use your monogram. Have it engraved inside your wedding bands. It’ll be a little secret way to hold onto this symbol forever. 5. Your veil. How creative is this?! To really make your veil stand out, have a script monogram embroidered on the train. Imagine how amazing it’ll look as you walk down the aisle! Photo by Katelyn James 6. Your gifts to each other. If you and your spouse-to-be are exchanging gifts, have theirs decked out in your monogram. It’ll instantly bring back memories of your wedding every time they use it! 7. The extra decor. Put your initials in frames, on pillows, or on any other decor as a small personal touch. The best part? You can put them in your home after the day is over. Photo by Studio 28 8. The fun stuff! Monograms are classic motifs rooted in tradition, but that doesn’t mean you have to take them so seriously! If you’re having a more laid-back wedding, why not paint it on your backyard games or make it a prop for your photo booth? Photo by Elyse Hall 9. Around your bouquet. Wrap your flowers with a delicate cloth that has your monogram embroidered. You can save the wrap as keepsake! Photo by Virgil Bunao 10. On the aisle runner. If you’re planning on having a custom aisle runner, why not add your monogram? It’s another small detail that’ll really make your ceremony one of a kind. Photo by Love, Burlap 11. Your shoes. Kick your shoes up to the next level by making them as personalized as possible! We love these monogrammed cowboy boots, but if that’s not your style, try writing your initials on the soles of your shoes.
