Personalizirani dodaci za vaš vjenčani odijelo

Iako možda mislite da se odijelo mladoženje sastoji od jednog izbora – smokinga ili odijela – zapravo postoje mnoge druge pojedinosti koje unose osobnost i kreativnost u vaš izgled. A kada uključite personalizirane detalje, završite s izgledom koji je jedinstven kao i par koji se vjenčava.

Bilo da se radi o pastelnoj kravati s inicijalima mladoženje ili paru čeličnih manžetnim dugmadi ugraviranim s datumom vjenčanja, ovi mali detalji dodaju priču koju započinjete kada kažete 'da'.

Pitali smo dizajnericu vjenčanja Emily Burton za njezin savjet o tome kako svoj vjenčanje podići sa normalnog na prilagođeno s nečim tako jednostavnim kao što su dodaci za odijelo koje nosite.

Kad su u pitanju dodaci za odijelo na vašem vjenčanju, 3 vrste personalizacije najbolje funkcioniraju: lasersko graviranje, utisak i toplinsko tiskanje.

Lasersko graviranje koristi laserski snop za isparavanje metala objekta koji se personalizira. To je iznimno brza metoda koja stvara jasan tekst s oštrim preciznošću.

Korištenje lasera za graviranje također je sigurnije za metal od drugih vrsta graviranja jer nijedan stvarni alat ne dodiruje površinu vaše nakita.

„Nebo je granica kada su u pitanju personalizirane poruke na dodacima za vjenčana odijela. Graving datuma vjenčanja na klip za kravatu ili dodavanje inicijala para na njegov sat čini male detalje posebno posebnima.

I ne zaboravite na mladoženje! Prilagođeni manžetni dugmadi s njihovim uređenim inicijalima ili par suknji s personaliziranim tekstom su odlični pokloni za mladoženje.”

Debossing je tehnika koja se koristi na koži remeni i novčanici za personalizaciju.

Proces uključuje pritiskanje odabranog dizajna u kožu kako bi se napravio otisak. Debossing kože ne šteti stražnjem dijelu materijala i smatra se sigurnijim od embossinga za proizvode od visoko kvalitetne kože.

Koja je razlika između embossinga i debossinga?

Oba, embossing i debossing, su savršena za prilagodbu kožnih proizvoda, a oboje koristi metalni komad koji se zagrijava i pritisne u materijal.

Glavna razlika je u tome što se kod embossinga dizajn pritisne sa donje strane. Kod debossinga dizajn se postiže pritiskom s prednje strane.

Embossing može zadržati malo više detalja od debossinga, ali mijenja prednju i stražnju stranu proizvoda.

„Zlatotisk se može koristiti za mnogo više od samih pozivnica i drugih ukrasa.

To je jednostavan način da svi darovi za mladoženje budu dodatno posebni. Imati inicijale svakog mladoženje urezane na kožnom remenu ili novčaniku lijep je način da mu se zahvalite što se pridružio na vašem vjenčanju. I to je sjajan način da se osigura da se svi njihovi remeni podudaraju!

A ako tražite suptilan poklon za mladoženju... kožni novčanik, urezan njegovim monogramom, je uspomena koju će zapravo zadržati.”

A heat press is a machine that imprints a custom design on a piece of fabric – such as a tie, cravat, bow tie or pocket square – using a combination of heat and pressure for a specific time.

There are 2 types of heat transfer printing: vinyl heat transfer and digital print heat transfer.

Vinyl Heat Transfer Process – Here, a machine cuts out letters in coloured vinyl and a heat press machine transfers each onto the fabric.

Digital Heat Transfer Process – With this process, the letters are digitally printed on heat transfer paper using special ink. Using a heat press machine, the design or letters are then transferred from the paper to the object being printed on.

Regardless of the type of transfer, it's the heat press machine that provides the heat and pressure to transfer the personalised message. And, it’s safe to wash… although your silk cravat may not be.

Can you heat press on silk? Many wedding suit accessories are made of silk. And with the right temperature, even your silk pocket square or cravat can become a custom accessory with a heat press.

“You’re only limited by the actual space. You don’t want to have all the lyrics to your favourite song printed on your tie. Instead, add the date you proposed or even the coordinates of your wedding to a carefully folded pocket square.

The best way to get a custom tie without paying the bespoke price is to have yours printed with your initials or shared monogram.

Whatever you choose, make sure it’s something that both of you will appreciate and remember for years to come.”

Found throughout Roman and Greek history, modern-day monograms are designs comprised of 2 or more initials. The typical order of the initials is first name, middle and surname (last name) and is created without dots or periods.

While no longer used on coins, adding a monogram to a pocket square, tie or cravat or having initials engraved on a pair of cufflinks is the perfect way to make a wedding gift that much more thoughtful and unique. And a way to make the suit accessories the groom wears on his big day that much more personal.

Single-Letter Monograms Single-letter monograms use the initial of the surname or, less commonly, the first initial of the first name.

• Henrik Allen Jensen would monogram a single J for his last name or H for his first.

Three-Letter Monograms Three-letter monograms are the most popular for wedding gifts and accessories for the groom’s suit. The order of the initials depends on the letter sizes and marital status of the wearer.

For single men and women, there are 2 commonly-used monograms:

• Same Size Letters – If all the letters are the same size, use the first initial of the first, middle and last name… in that order.
• Large Surname Initial in the Centre – Use the first letter of the first, last and middle name. The surname is centred and larger than the other initials.

For most weddings, monograms include both names of the bride and groom.

“A lot of my clients turn their monogram into a family crest that they use throughout their lives… on towels, sheets and even etched on glassware. For the wedding, monograms are found everywhere from invitations to custom decorations.”

Whose initials go first in a wedding monogram? Traditionally, if the bride takes the groom's family name, her first initial comes first, then their shared surname and finally his first name initial.

Three-Letter Monograms for Weddings Just like monograms for single guys, there are 2 types of three-letter monograms for weddings and married couples:

• Same Size Letters – For groomsmen and the groom, opt for letters of the same size (also known as block style of monogramming). The order of his initials would be first name, middle and surname. If he doesn’t have a middle name, 2 letters look just as good. For a couple's monogram, the order is bride's first initial, shared last initial and the groom's initial.
• Large Surname Initial in the Middle – For most married couples, the large centre initial is the shared last name with the bride’s first name initial starting the monogram and the groom’s as the last letter.

Emily suggests, “You can add a monogram to just about anything, from the groom’s suit accessories to the napkins at the reception. But just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Remember that a little personalisation goes a long way. Take your suit accessories for example. Yes, you could monogram your initials on your tie, your pocket square, cufflinks and tie bar… but do you really want every piece you wear to argue for attention?

Go for 1 or 2 personalised pieces – like his wedding cufflinks and pocket square. Both of these are small enough that the initials won’t scream for attention, but he’ll know that each is something special.”

Bilo da kupujete za mladenца ili tražite poklone za mladoženje, ništa nije toliko posebno kao osobni dodir.

„Stvorite nešto dragocjeno i nosivo cijeli život. To može biti mali par manžetni s novim monogramom sretnog para ili kravata s prezimenom koje dijele.

Pronalaženje jedinstvenog poklona za mladoženje ne mora biti teško.

• Pobrinite se da ono što dajete dolazi iz srca.
• Ne žurite i ne kupujte prvu stvar koju vidite.
• Uzmite još jednu minutu i razmislite što bi taj muškarac zaista volio.

Mnoge parove na vjenčanju zabilježio sam da poklanjaju ‘Weekend Care Packages’ kao poklone za mladoženje. Ovo uključuje stavke poput set za brijanje s ugraviranim britvom, špilom karata i monogramiranim otvaračem boca.

Ne mora biti isti poklon za svaku osobu u vašem vjenčanom druženju.

Ako je jedan od vaših mladoženja ljubitelj marame, stvorite prilagođenu s njegovim inicijalima. Ako vaš najbolji čovjek treba novčanik, neka bude klasični bifold novčanik s urezanim imenom.

A ako se zaručnica kupuje poklon za svog mladoženju, ne zaboravite da možete personalizirati dodatak ne samo s monogramom. Razmišljajte o mjestu gdje ste se prvi put sreli, mjestu gdje ste se poljubili ili čak datumu kada je zaprosio. Sve su to prekrasne uspomene i možda se uklapaju u ograničenje znakova na vašem prilagođenom poklonu.”

• Manje je Više – “Odaberite 1 ili 2 dodatka za prilagodbu. Nije to vrtić… ne trebate da sve nosi vaše ime.”
• Neka bude Jasno – “Bez obzira na poruku koju odlučite, pobrinite se da vaša nevjesta to razumije kada je vidi. Unutarnja šala nije smiješna ako se samo vi smijete.”
• Uskladite Boje Vjenčanja – “Osigurajte da svaki dodatak odgovara ukupnoj shemi boja vjenčanja.” Provjerite prije narudžbe jer personalizirani predmeti se ne mogu vratiti. Za više o usklađivanju,

• Neka Nevesta bude Zvijezda – “Da, to je vaš veliki dan… ali većinom je to njen veliki dan. Bez obzira na dodatak ili osobni dodir koji odaberete, pobrinite se da ona bude zvijezda predstave. I nastavite to raditi dok vas smrt ne razdvoji.”

“In my area of the USA, it’s popular to have the backs of watches engraved with a couple’s wedding date and initials. I’ve also worked with a lot of grooms who have the inner pocket of their suit jackets embroidered with a personal message.”

When buying gifts for your groomsmen, consider the following questions:

• How many groomsmen are in the wedding?
• How far will they travel?
• Do they have to buy a special outfit for the ceremony? If so, how much will they spend?
• What other expenses will they have for the wedding?

“While there’s no catch-all rule for groomsmen gifts, a good standard is to give a gift that costs 20-30% of what your groomsmen spent to be at your wedding.

Purchase something that lets them know how much it means to you that they’ve been a part of your lives and carved out time to celebrate with you.”

The wedding gift you give should be just as memorable as the actual ceremony. Adding a monogram to a wedding gift is a great way to commemorate the event for the groom.

“Before you order, check with the bride or a close family friend to see if she is keeping her surname. This will guide you in how to set up the initials in the monogram.”

Remember that once something has been personalised, it can’t be returned.

Yes. Monograms are not solely for wedding gifts… even single guys appreciate having their initials on their cufflinks or carefully placed on their favourite bow tie.

For men's gifts, we suggest using the initials of his first, middle and last name, in that order. It’s a format that looks good on everything from watches to ties and is easily recognised as his initials.
