I must admit that I am having trouble deciding between the contemporay mongrams CM2 and CM4. I think both would look beautiful and classic across the Finesse Square Invitation design…or maybe I should pick something to tie in with Spring…decisions…decisions… I am a big believer that love is in the details and a monogram is a great idea to tie in all elements of the day from invitations to place cards. This is a must for me!
I love their ‘Contemporary Monogram – CM3’. It’s contemporary, stylish and simple, with it’s main focus on me and my fiance starting our new life together. With the super classy font I would funk-ify it by using bright, punchy colours to set our wedding theme: FUN!
My favourite monograms would be Vintage Monogram 10 (VM10) and Contemporary monogram 6 (CM6). They are both gorgeous! Although, I think CM6 would be the most meaningful for us as we are getting married under the most beautiful tree in the same park where my parents were married and it is a beautiful way to represent that. Well done, all the monograms are gorgeous.
I’d pick SM2. It’s fun and simple just like me and my fiance. We’re going to get a wooden puzzle guests book and the monogram would be perfect displayed on it.
I love VM14 as it is really a modern take on a very romantic look! I would have it in pink on chatter boxes on the tables which would contain the programs and as little cupcake flags!
I love CM3 – it is classic and stylish. I would love to see it on the cover of our guest book.
I seriously can’t decide between VM1 and VM10. I love them both. I would love to use these monograms on our DIY invitations and dispersed throughout the wedding (think napkins, water bottles, wine bottles, etc). They are all so beautiful!
favourite by far is Vintage Monogram – VM1. Would start by using this on the invitations and maybe near the photo booth. A modern vintage wedding!
It’s so hard to chose just one, because they are all gorgeous. My favorite is from the Vintage line, definitely VM10. It’s whimsy and subtle, perfect for our spring wedding.
I would use VM9 because I love the simplicity of it. I also love the clean lines. I cannot even begin to tell you how I would use this monogram. I have always loved monogrammed items because it is classic and timeless. I would use it on my STDs, invitations, brides cake, and so many other things!!! I love your site and I’m so glad I found it!!
I love the simplicity of Vintage Monogram – VM13 – because my fiance’s name starts with L and mine with V, it ends up looking a bit like LOVE, and we would use it as part of invites and menus etc – but I think I might also get some custom made cufflinks for my man!!!!!
I love the VM13. I think it would look fabulous on invitations, menus and order of service booklets. Its a great way to tie in all aspects of the wedding in a really simple and elegant way. Would also be great to use the monogram after the wedding for thankyou cards or return address labels.
The SM1 monogram would work wonderfully for our big day. My fiance’s father owns a small vineyard and this is where we are having the ceremony and reception so the weathered grape stamp would complement perfectly. We could use it on everything from invites to place cards to personalised wine labels to wine glasses!
Wow this is such a great giveaway, and such a hard decision. I’m leaning toward the contemporary monogram cm2, but also really adore the vintage monogram, VM2.
I would use this monogram everywhere!!!! Save the dates, invitations, place cards, favor tags!!!
I have found on the site a couple of monograms which are lovely and that would fit perfectly with our theme and ideas! We are designing now our website and have been struggling to find the perfect way to insert our names in the header. I think that using either the monogram VM15 (I love the style but it might be too big) or the VM3 would be a great way to finalize the website and set the tone for all future stationary / decor!
I love CM3, I’d like to take a monogram like that and use it as our “brand” for the whole wedding from invites to favors!
I love the vintage monogram VM13 – we’d use it on our invitations and paper goods at the event (menus, signs), as well as future correspondence. A monogram is an investment that can be used far beyond the wedding – how exciting!
Thanks!
My favourite monogram would be SM1, perfect for our proposed Hunter Valley wedding up in the vineyards
Vintage Monogram – VM13 for sure!
Love the font and simple design.
CM6 is SO charming and would fit our wedding perfectly! we will be married lakeside and celebrate under a group of trees, on the same lake where we were engaged. We could use this on invites, the mix cd we are giving our guests with our favorite jams, maybe even as a topper for the (cheese) cake we will be serving. the possibilities are endless 🙂
If it’s a monogram it’s got to be vintage!!
VM7 – simple and elegant – the right way to do a monogram if you wanted one 🙂
For my wedding I would choose the ever so elegant Vintage Monogram VM3. I would use it on invitations, envelope seals as stickers, signage directing guests to ceremony and reception and thankyou cards that can be used as placecards at the wedding reception. For future use, I would use it as an envelope seal sticker with xmas and birthday cards!
WOW! What a great giveaway! My favorite monogram would have to be the Vintage Monogram – VM5. The intricate details and lovely font make this monogram unlike any other one I’ve ever seen. It’s beautiful!
For our traditional Fall 2011 wedding, we would love to have a custom monogram from Poppiseed Designs. Our favorite monogram by far is the Vintage Monogram – VM3. It’s simply stunning!
My fiance and I would LOVE to have a custom monogram made by Poppiseed Designs. Our favorite is the Symbolic Monogram – SM5. The palm trees design is perfect for our San Diego wedding. It’s exactly what we have been looking for!
The Vintage Monogram – VM2 would be perfect for our weddin gon November 19, 2010. The details of the monogram are fabulous! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
I can’t tell you how excited I am about this giveaway! The Vintage Monogram VM7 is exactly what I’ve been looking for, but I didn’t realise that there were any companies offering this service. I have always wanted to have hand-written wedding invitations, done in beautiful calligraphy. They would be written in the style of old love letters and designed to make each of our guests feel special. I would use the monogram at the top of the letter as the perfect finishing touch.
I love both the VM7 and CM3. We’re looking for a great monogram to include on our invitations (they aren’t designed yet, which is why I can’t choose between the two yet, they’re both so great) I’m also going to tie the monogram into the reception by having the dj project it on the wall above the dance floor. It’ll look great there!
What a wonderful giveaway! My pick would have to be for Vintage Monogram – VM5. I would use it anywhere and everywhere I could think of, especially stationary!
Our May 2011 wedding theme is ‘Vintage Romance’, with the colours being dusty pink, ivory, and a splash of light brown, and monogram VM3 would complete our wedding beautifully. The monogram will take centre stage on the invitations, order of service booklets, the back of the place cards, menus, the bomboniere boxes which house sweet cupcakes and the thank you cards as our lasting impression.
We’re going for a sophisticated forest fairytale and I think VM8 expresses that perfectly! It would be perfect stamped on the bag of the invitation envelopes, and on all the favor boxes/bags!
The ‘Contemporory Monogram – CM3’ would have to be my favourite. I love all the vintage looking ones but the modern one would suit my fiance and I best. The monogram looks like something you expect to see embroided into an egyptian cotton bath robe or towel in a 5 star hotel!
I think the admin of this website is really working hard for his
site, for the reason that here every material is quality based stuff.
