"My rule is, if it's not moving, monogram it" - Reese Witherspoon
If you visit the south, you'll probably notice monograms everywhere. From clothes, water bottles, hats, bags, jewelry, towels to pillow cases. Basically anything you own can be monogrammed and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Monogrammed clothing is a must have staple in your closet if you live in the south.
Where did monogramming even come from?
Way back in ancient Greece, the rulers would use monograms for their currency to identify the region. Eventually, artists started using it to sign their work and that trickled down to the Victorian era which was was used for status symbol. Today they are used for anyone and everything!
Jane Scott Hodges, founder and owner of New Orleans-based Leontine Linens says, "I think in the South we are driven by the notion of heritage and heirlooms, that notion of close, multigenerational families and relationships with our grandparents," says Jane Scott, who works with designers and homeowners to create custom linens that often feature family monograms, or reinterpreted family monograms. "We have that tug of familial history in the South: We take a family name and make it a first name. We do things like that as we pass over the generations. We don't go to the top 20 list of baby names."

Where to buy monogrammed items
My favorite place to buy from is Marleylilly ,my dress in the picture above is from there and I have bought several other items from them and they never disappoint!
Another place that I just made a order from the other day, is United Monograms. They have a ton of items just like Marleylilly and I can't wait to get my items in the mail from them!
Last recommendation is Etsy, there is so much on there and some of the prices are better than the above stores.
