SHOWSTOPPERS

Having something either side of your aisle, provides the perfect backdrop for the most important moment of your day. Here I used asymmetrical structures to create more interest, and then repurposed them later in the day with the cake cutting.

Would you like something special at the top of your aisle?

If you’re getting married in 2025, please reach out and tell me what your something special would be?

PERSONAL TOUCH

It was this phrase ‘it was always you’ that when I started dating my now Husband, said to me when we got together after knowing each other for sixteen years.

Little details like this, can add something really special to your signage. So if you had a moment or a phrase you say to each other adding it into your signage adds another level of meaning to your day.

What phrase would you choose for your signage?

WEDDING NEWSPAPERS

Imagine surprising your guests with a personalised newspaper filled your journey, inside jokes, order of service, wedding details and even a sip & solve? (aka a crossword to you and me).

You are front page news on your wedding day, and whilst people are arriving, taking their seats or have a moment during the reception, they can remind themselves of your love story and find some fun facts out about the couple they may not have known!

If you want to create a headline-worthy keepsake for your big day, drop me a message and we can start designing a wedding newspaper that will have everyone talking.

SIGNAGE

Signage is a great way to add personality to your day. For our wedding we chose names for our tables, from our favourite places in the world as we love to travel.

We used wallpaper as the backing for signage, and our wax stamp we used for the invitations.

I work with you to find the right pieces which you can get maximum impact from as you add your personality throughout your day.

Welcome Signs
Table Plans
Table Names/Numbers
Mirror
Card box

What would you add to your signage? Let me know in the comments.
