This label is a sweet variation on our simple monogram satin ribbon label. .
This is satin wedding gown ribbon label that is substantially larger than our grosgrain ribbon label sets. This single label is 3 inches tall and uses 3 inch wide high quality bridal satin ribbon and features a circle of blue hearts framing a monogram and wedding date. Because of the size of this heart circle, this label will only allow a monogram and a numeric date. The edges of the label are pinked (cut in a zig-zag) to prevent fraying.
Sewing these labels into the inside bodice (top) of the gown is easy - see below.
You choose white, candlelight or ivory bridal satin ribbon and we'll embroider it with your initials and the date of your wedding. You also choose the lettering style from our selection at www.initial-impressions.net/embroidery/lettering.htm. The color of thread is entirely up to you too. It is shown here in bridal blue for the "something blue". We can even match a swatch that you send us. I have included a photo of the candlelight and ivory next to each other to help you decide between them.
Here we show the initials all the same size and the family name initial on the right. Doing the initials with the family name initial larger and in the middle is just as appropriate. Please be sure to let us know which format you prefer and which of the initials is the family name initial.
Traditionally, the bride uses her maiden name monogram because she is still single when she puts her gown on.
The sample here is shown in the Melanie style - You may choose this or a different style

A Note About Sewing the Label into the Gown:
This wedding gown label comes with a "pinked" (zig-zagged) edge to prevent fraying. Most people tuck in these edges and apply it to the gown.
Once pinned in location, you can press the edge with your finger or a warm (not hot) iron before doing a whip stitch to sew it into place. In doing the stitching, take a little bite of the lining fabric of the dress (being careful not to catch the front dress fabric in the stitch) and then catch a bite of the label itself. Do this along the edge of the label on both sides. It does not take a lot of stitches to hold the label firmly in place. These instructions are also included with the shipment of your label.
