Monograms for all occasions

It's been a busy few months at GG Print. At this time of the year when the sun comes out, there are all sorts of celebrations happening but before the celebrations must come the invites. We've recently been designing a lot of monograms for our bespoke wedding and party invitations. Wedding monograms are a great way to personalise your wedding stationery especially when going for a simple and traditional design. It can be me transferred onto other items of the wedding and be used as a running theme throughout. As well as invitations, monograms are also great for other stationery types such as correspondence cards and logos.

The London Symphony Orchestra

The LSO is one of the world's leading orchestras and earlier this month they celebrated the 70th birthday of conductor Michael Tilson Thomas at the Barbican Centre, London. Along with this celebration was a dinner at St. James's Palace.

We had the pleasure of printing and designing the stationery for this honoured occasion which included the invitations, place settings and programmes. One of our illustrators produced beautiful illustrations of Buckingham Palace and St.James's Palace, all printed on a watercolour stock. Grey calligraphy added the finishing touch. 

Two programmes designed for a concert at Buckingham Palace, in the presence of Her Majesty The Queen, and a dinner in The State Rooms at St James's Palace

At GG Print we really pride ourselves on attention to detail and we were really happy with the end result.
