SHULER STUDIO X TWD
a collaboration for gorgeous watercolor monograms
I've teamed up with Shuler Studio to offer you beautiful, timeless designs! Interlocking monograms are an art form of their own and the team at Shuler is the best in the business. Purchase one of their designs and I'll bring it to life in watercolor!
Shuler Studio x TWD
Shuler Studio has truly mastered the art of interlocking letters. They offer monograms for print and embroidery in both predesigned and custom options. Years before requesting a custom design of my own, I collaborated with Pam Shuler and her team for wedding crest client monograms. (They designed the "TWD" in my logo crest and I absolutely adore it!)
What I love most about my couples using one of Shuler's designs is that it's an extra piece of artwork to use in addition to the wedding crest. You'll be able to use your watercolor monogram both inside your crest AND separately! It helps create a cohesive look while not overusing one or the other on welcoming wedding details.

MONOGRAM Options
Two-letter monograms are used by a majority of the couples with whom I work. They are perfect before or after marriage. These may go in one of my crests or to use on your own. You will receive a JPG, transparent PNG, and a PDF with personal printing rights.
Three-letter monograms are traditionally used after your wedding ceremony. Some couples purchase both a two-letter and a three-letter monogram if that is important to them. You will receive a JPG, transparent PNG, and a PDF with personal printing rights.
$50*/$75
$65*/$90

Clients must obtain printing rights to a Shuler Studio monogram before I paint. This is done by purchasing a design of your choice directly from Shuler Studio; separate from the pricing listed above. To purchase from Shuler Studio, please visit shulerstudio.com.
Hand-painted wedding monograms
Having a hand-painted Shuler Studio monogram gives you a lovely option for adding watercolor to stationery, cocktail napkins, stir sticks, and more!
I offer two different contrast options: solid vs. stripes or light vs. dark. Applying a subtle amount of contrast between the letters allows each to be seen while keeping the monogram design cohesive.
Let's begin!
Choose a contrast
Solid vs. Stripes OR Light vs. Dark

Solid vs. Stripes OR Light vs. Dark
Please visit their website and order the monogram of your choice. Two-letter monograms are available for instant download. Triples are custom orders. Regardless of the design you choose, pay attention to the feminine/masculine letters and select a monogram that best represents you both.
Select your Shuler Studio monogram.
step 1
Complete the contact form on my website and select the project type that you'd like. Many of my clients order monograms for crests, but if you'd just like your Shuler Studio monogram painted I'm happy to do that for you! Please be prepared to upload your Shuler files to me.
Order a painted monogram with TWD.
step 2
If you are also ordering a crest, your monogram will be added to that proposal. Custom crest clients receive a project start date, so your monogram will be painted during that project. Clients wanting a painted monogram by itself receive a proposal, too, but your artwork begins once the proposal is returned.
Complete the proposal I send through HoneyBook.
step 3
Each letter needs to have enough contrast to be seen, but not too much that it creates a distraction in the monogram design as a whole. Select from solid vs. stripes in the same color OR light vs. dark in varying shades of the same color.
Choose your color & contrast.
step 4
When your monogram has been painted and digitized, you'll receive a JPG, transparent PNG, and a PDF file for personal use.
Celebrate with your beautiful monogram!
Step 5
Please note, these are raster files.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! I can and have painted interlocking monograms from other designers than Shuler Studio. You must check with who designed yours and provide written proof that I am allowed to paint that design in watercolor.
If the triple monogram has the letters side-by-side (like in my TWD), I paint the first name initials the same and then the surname in contrast from those two letters. I have had a triple that was stacked - the letters centered on top of one another. For that type of monogram, using three shades of the same color works best.
When you order a monogram from Shuler Studio, they make the groom's letter darker by shading it with stripes. I paint each letter completely, so for solid vs. stripes, the bride may end up being striped because that is the lighter of the two once painted. The general rule of thumb is that the bride is the lighter letter.
However, the other element I factor in is the thickness of the letter. If the bride's letter is thinner, then she will be the darker of the two. Otherwise, the design won't be balanced.
If you're stuck between using solid vs. stripes or light vs. dark, envision how you'll use this monogram on its own. For crest design, I normally suggest light vs. dark because it draws your eye to the center and tends to be more simple.
My watercolor monograms are painted once to replicate the original design. They do not come with edits. If you change your mind about color or contrast, you would need to pay for a new painted monogram.
