Creative Elements
Each Foundational Suite is shown with a curated selection of crests, borders, and patterns you can mix and match for stationery that feels coordinated without being repetitive.
The monogram styles and crests are interchangeable, or let the initials stand alone for a classic look.
Switch up borders and crests to create variety in your suite, from save the dates to invitations and day-of paper.
Use patterns on envelope liners, belly bands, or gatefolds to tie the look together while keeping it coordinated.
Use monograms on any stationery, from save the dates to thank you notes. Add them to matchboxes, cocktail napkins, and wax seals to brand your wedding.
Monograms can be scaled to any size, and are available in any ink color. Choose a different font from the font library, or add a crest or motif from the full design library for a tailored look.
Monogram Styles

vintage engraved monograms
These interlocking monograms feature ornate initials from vintage lettering.
Sometimes it’s easier to find your perfect invitation fit when you strip away the decorations and colors! Here you’ll find layout variations to accommodate different wording and name lengths.
Layouts & Wording
A word of advice before you dive in: Fonts affect the spacing and balance of a layout, so even small changes can alter the overall look. To avoid extra proofing rounds, choose a Foundational Suite with fonts you already love, then customize the decorative details.
Script Styles & Font Pairings
Each collection’s Styling Guide includes two alternate script recommendations to keep the intended style intact. You can still experiment (like swapping a swirly script for something simpler or changing a serif to sans serif) but be prepared for a bit more back-and-forth to get everything just right. Full font guide available on request.
These painted botanicals and landscapes are inspired by or sourced from vintage fine art and are a great way to bring colors into your stationery suite. For use on envelope liners, belly bands, gatefolds, and wraps.
