20+ Trendy and Latest Monogram Decor Ideas For Indian Wedding

Monogramming may sound like a new concept to many of us, but it is interesting to note that the first monogram appeared more than a thousand years ago! It was earlier used by artists to identify their paintings and soon became a status symbol of luxury. Many companies can be seen using monograms as their logos. Nowadays, it is hype amongst people to use it in their wedding ceremonies, receptions, engagement parties, and other events.

I have been telling you where a monogram is being used, but, what exactly is a monogram? Well, technically, it is a way of branding by using one’s initials. Companies like Coco Chanel, Gucci, etc have been using monogram as their logo for a long time, but in recent years monogramming has caught up with wedding trends. So, let’s look at some interesting ideas to incorporate monogram as decor in weddings-

1. Monogram on Beverages

Monograms on beverages, sounds tacky, right? But don’t worry, it usually turns out to be delicious and looks aesthetic. You can add a monogram in wines, cocktails or other beverages like coffee or tea. Just contact your catering service and ask them to do so. One can suggest them to add edible gold or coffee seeds and who knows maybe they will come up with an even better solution!

2. Monogram on Coasters

Coasters usually seem less significant when it comes to organising a wedding or any other event. They are arranged “last minute”. But, adding a monogram to the coasters can set a theme to the wedding and will be considered unique and different.

3. Monogram on Linen Napkins

Just imagine- floral printed, gold-embroidered monogram napkins alone can make one’s wedding set apart from others! It will add an extra special touch to the dining experience and can be a keepsake for the guests to cherish their loved one’s wedding for many years to come!
