Monogram Guide

Bringing Meaning Back to the Monogram

A monogram is more than a mark — it’s a reflection of you.

At Morrow & Main, we’ve reimagined this timeless tradition to feel modern, personal, and lasting. Every letter, every stitch, is chosen with intention — because how you personalize something should mean something.

The Classic Monogram (Three Letters)

The timeless three-letter monogram remains a symbol of tradition and grace — a quiet nod to legacy. The center initial, representing the surname, is slightly enlarged to create an heirloom balance that feels both familiar and refined.

Traditional Format:


  • Individual: First • Last (center, larger) • Middle or Maiden

  • Married Couple (Classic): Wife’s First • Married Last (center, larger) • Wife’s Maiden

  • Married Couple (Modern): Wife’s First • Married Last (center, larger) • Husband’s First

The Straight Monogram

A fresh, modern take on tradition — all three initials presented in a single line. Clean, balanced, and understated, it’s the choice for those who love simplicity and quiet confidence.

Order: First • Middle • Last

The Cipher

Two initials, artfully intertwined. A cipher tells a story of connection — whether between two names, two families, or two people beginning a shared chapter. Elegant and romantic, it’s a meaningful choice for couples who value individuality within unity.

Typically combines: First & Last or two first names.

The Single Initial

Sometimes, one letter says it all. A single initial offers a pure, sophisticated way to personalize — perfect for guest linens, travel accessories, or everyday keepsakes.

Represents: First or Last Initial.

Names

A name carries sentiment unlike anything else. From nursery linens to family home pieces, a written name personalizes a space in a way that feels heartfelt and uniquely yours.
