In working with couples in planning their weddings, I have the pleasure of paying the utmost attention to the details that would and could add to their big day. In planning your wedding it's important to find your signature, or something that would set you apart from the average wedding.

Whether it's a family crest or monogram, a little statement can make a huge impact for your day. For assistance, I teamed up with Graphic Designer Chayanne of NYCO Graph-X Design located in New York. Chayanne and I have been brain stormimg for some time now on company projects and she has worked with me in creating beautiful monograms for clients in the past. Chayanne also the designed our company logo, which I fall in love with more and more each day.

Here's how you can make it happen starting with and moderate use. First start with your invitations, but not limited to:

Your Programs,
Aisle Runner,
Candle Set,
Parasols,
Seating Charts
Menu Cards
Cake
Gobo Fixtures
and Favors.

Know that it does not have to stop there.

Here are a couple of custom collaborated works between Chayanne and myself.

Door Signage, Dreams & keepsakes.

CD Favor, Dreams & Keepsakes

When creative minds get together, it's like TNT. If you're looking for a Stellar monogram for your signature statement, I recommend Chayanne. Her work is amazing! Tell her I sent you.

Note: Once the choice has been made to have a monogram designed make sure that it is liken to both your personalities as well as fit within the scope of your wedding formality. When meeting with your designer opt to have a several designs to choose from. There may be one that you like but your partner doesn't and vice versa. That way you save time instead of going back and forth to the drawing board. Chayanne and I presented Kenya & Anthony with 5 designs to choose from for their signature monogram. These below as well as the intro monogram:

When planning your signature for your special day bring keys of inspiration to the design meeting such as picture of your dress, sketch of your cake, ribbon, or even the paper you may be considering for your program. Once presented a little inspiration can go a long way. So what would your signature for your day be? The sky's the limit!

Happy Planning!
