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.
