Wedding signage extends far beyond a welcome sign or a seating chart; it’s a way to surprise and delight guests. Personalized “Do Not Disturb” hangers for post-reception recovery, matchboxes with cheeky messages, and directional signs with playful sayings bring the charm. One couple even turned their dating-app origin story into signage, designing a Hinge-inspired display featuring their profile photos, personal Q&As and first conversation—a sentimental keepsake.
For couple Logan & Adam, that meant incorporating their love of hiking into their seating chart. Guests explored a pedestaled display that featured national parks the couple had hiked together. “This set will forever be one of our favorites because it was so true to who they are as a couple,” says Trinity Smith, founder and artistic director of Rose & Wrench.
For a wedding between two sports fans, their seating chart featured Polaroids of guests as part of “The Nguyen-ing Team” lineup, with tables named after legendary athletes. “They were, of course, ‘The Goats,’” says Smith. Even their dessert display followed suit, reading “We Make a Sweet Team.”
At its core, wedding signage is an art form that blends design, storytelling and experience. As Smith puts it: “At the end of the day, your wedding is about you, and every element of your day should be a reflection of your love, interests and life together.”
