IAMPETH 2026 - Script Monogram Design - Bailey Rivera

ALL SKILL LEVELS | MONOGRAMS

Who doesn’t love a monogram? You know when they’re even better? When it’s designed for you, by you! This class demystifies the process of designing monograms, using a step-by-step method for creating a balanced and beautiful 3-letter design. Whether your style is traditional, modern, flourishy or somewhere in between, you’ll come away with a design that you’ll want to put on EVERYTHING. Monograms are often a desired design element in wedding suites as well as branding packages, so being able to offer this service can help grow your business and clientele. Over the years, I’ve done designs that have been used from invitations to dance floors to store signage and everywhere in between. The amazing part of monograms is their versatility! In class we will learn: How to approach the blank page, research and sketching techniques, the drafting process, how to critique and refine the design, decorative options, and how to execute your final piece.
