Signage

When it comes to keeping your guests informed throughout your wedding day, signage is a great way to do that. It's also a great way to add in touches of your color scheme and/or theme and add decor touches in an understated way.

Chair signs, bar signs, menus on buffet tables or stations, signs describing your favors or inviting people to a candy buffet, directional arrows or signs telling guests how to get to the reception, a cute do not disturb sign to hang on the door of your honeymoon suite, etc. There are so many creative and cute ways that signs can be used throughout your wedding day. 

I love chair signs. They make for great photo ops, they point out important people, and you can set your chairs apart and proclaim yourselves as Mr. and Mrs. on your special day. 

I love these simple "flower girl" signs for the ceremony at Jennifer and Eddy's wedding.

Directional signs are a nice touch and can add a lot of personality and character to your wedding. There are tons of creative ways to word signs to let guests know what is taking place where. For example, a sign with "I Do" and an arrow pointing one direction and "we did" and an arrow pointing the other direction is a cute way to say the ceremony is this way and the reception is that way. 

This "happily ever after" sign from Lauren and Peter's wedding is simple and to the point. And super cute!

I also love this "cocktails" sign from their wedding.

And I absolutely LOVE the wooden sign the couple displayed between the reception tent and garden that pointed towards all the places Lauren and Peter traveled together.

These ceremony signs from Cara and Andy's wedding are a great touch and a beautiful tie in to their Horticultural Center wedding.

If you're planning to have a signature cocktail or special drinks, it's a good idea to have a sign on the bar that tells your guests what the drink is. It's also another chance to add a nice detail and show off your theme and/or color scheme. And don't forget about food signs for cocktail hour, your dinner buffet or stations.

I like this simple bar sign from Jennifer and Jonathan's wedding. It matched all of their other stationery- plus they came up with some great names for their special drinks!

This slate bar list from Clare and Anthony's wedding is a great detail.

And this sign from Christie and Sean's wedding was a perfect representation of her theme.

It's not necessarily signage, but I had to include this incredibly creative seating chart from Cara and Andy's wedding. Re-purposed doors as reception entrance and seating chart. How cool is this?!

Here are some other cute and creative signs that you can incorporate throughout your special day. 

I love this sign that Kate had on the door while she was getting ready.

This candy buffet sign from Kate and Mike's wedding is simple and cute.

These flower initials from Erica and Gene's wedding are a nice touch. They were placed on the doors leading to the ceremony. And a great way to keep things cohesive is to move them after the ceremony and display them at the reception.

When it comes to signage the possibilities are endless. So, be creative, use your color scheme, keep your theme in mind, and have fun!

Emily and Bryan's Wedding

We hope you all had a great holiday and Happy New Year! We're getting back into the swing of things and will be posting 5 more of our weddings from 2012. First up is Emily and Bryan's June wedding in Delaware! Emily and her bridesmaids started their day at the Hilton Wilmington/Christiana with hair done by Meghan, of Hair by Meghan, and makeup done by Diana, of Lillian Taylor Cosmetics. Emily and Bryan chose to have a "First Look" before their ceremony on the grounds of their ceremony/reception site, Deerfield Golf and Country Club. To make their ceremony a little more personal, they had Bryan's stepfather officiate their vows! We created their ceremony programs, seating chart, place cards, table numbers and reception signage to match their navy and pink color scheme. The bouquets and floral arrangements created by Jen-Mor Florist matched the color scheme perfectly! They were bursting with white and pink peonies, white hydrangeas and touches of green to complete the look. The cake created by Liz Marden was also decorated with cascading pink peonies. The couple added another personal touch to their reception by displaying wedding pictures of their family members on their gift table. East Coast Event Group got the party started and kept guests on the dance floor all night long. When guests weren't dancing, they were enjoying the candy buffet or cigars rolled onsite by Cigar Vault and as a final surprise, guests were also able to enjoy Grotto's Pizza from a pizza truck- such a fun and memorable night! A big thank you to Joanne of Joanne Beecham Photography for these wonderful images!

Congratulations Emily and Bryan!
