Monogram Styles | Which Monogram Suits You?

Carla — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 11:23:52 +0000

When it comes to choosing a wedding monogram, the options are endless and they can be very overwhelming. It becomes confusing when you’re not sure if you’re completely sold on the traditional crest, but you also like the rustic appeal of the wreath, and in all this wedding hype you become naturally drawn to keeping things simple and opt to have an uncomplicated modern monogram.

To ease your decision-making process, we have compiled a fun and easy monogram quiz that you can take to solve all your monogram mysteries. You’re bound to find the perfect monogram that best suits you before you can say Bob’s your uncle (come on, we all have one).

And there you have it! Now that you’ve pinned down your monogram style, you are ready to create the perfect wedding stationery! We can help with that – contact info@secretdiary.co.za to chat to us about the invites and stationery for your wedding.

Narine + Jurgen

This romantic old French inspired wedding was highly influenced by the super creative and organised couple, Narine and Jurgen. Their stitched letter pressed and printed invites set the tone for this beautiful wedding at Brenaissance, Stellenbosch captured by Nikki Meyer Photography.

PS: The pictured photo frames were provided by the couple which we supplied the seating charts inserts for.

Passport invitations

We have just recently created this little gem of a wedding invitation for the most amazing couple!

Mandi and Eddie are getting married in April at Molenvliet Estate and are having their wedding coordinated by the Aleit group. In saying that they wanted something completely signature to them. Having travelled together in the past as well as their relationship being a journey in itself they decided that a passport invitation would be the most fitting to them.

The look and feel of the passport invitation was to be more of a vintage look and feel but still incorporating a semi authentic passport / journey essence to the stationery. Antique stamps, photo strips and hand drawn illustrations were brought into the invitation design. Our talented newest designer Stacey also hand illustrated a charming little map to Molenvlient Estate to fit in with the rest of the invitations vintage theme. Each booklet was stitched together with cotton thread and comprised of 8 small pages. The amount of pages may be minimised as a pocket friendly alternative.

Since designing this invitation we have already had two other clients wanting the same passport invitation idea which we have happily agreed to give them!

Thank you Mandi and Eddie for being such superb clients and for all the kind words!

For more information on this kind of invitation design and pricing please contact our studio on (021) 981 9682 or email us at info@secretdiary.co.za
