Wedding signs–they’re invaluable!
Not only do they convey information about where guests should sit, what time cocktail hour starts and where the gift table is, they can add a ton of character to a wedding. Guideposts, boards and placards come in all shapes in sizes, making use of signature scripts and imagery to convey more of the spirit of the ceremony while providing info. And in many cases, they help set the tone. When you see a couple’s name highlighted on a huge chalkboard, for instance, or when you encounter a famous quote about love, for another, it’s a vivid expression of the couple’s identity. The words brides and grooms choose to put on the signs at their weddings help to give their nuptials personality and meaning. The flowers that accompany their signs further drive the point home. Take a look to see what we mean.
Crowning Glory
When you’ve emblazoned your new status on a stack of gorgeous wood large enough to create an entire panel, you need flowers that stack up, too. Here a design of greenery, roses and hydrangea nestles over the sign, bringing a soft, fresh feel to the backdrop of wood. This helps the signage both blend into the outdoor setting and connect to the flowers used in the ceremony.
Gorgeous Greens
Silver dollar eucalyptus clusters around a copper sign painted to read “wedding ceremony” in white, whimsical script. The contrast here between the rustic brown of the sign and the light, silvery green of the shaggy eucalyptus makes for an arresting visual. The sign’s patina and the fact that it is nearly receding into green makes it feel like it’s been there forever.
Hoopla
Of course hoops are rolling into sign territory–they’r everywhere! A creative, artistic bride and groom might create a backdrop or other centerpiece wall that includes signage, hoops, lights, frames and other decor pieces personal to them. We love how little flower vignettes hang from the hoops here, some of which enclose words that are meaningful to the couple and the event at hand. Don’t forget to festoon your ceremony and reception signs with flowers. They’re like a fresh exclamation point.
