The Small Detail That Makes Your Wedding Feel One-of-a-Kind

Planning a wedding is full of big decisions – the dress, the food, the playlist. But there’s one unsung hero that ties it all together: signage. From quirky arrows to heartfelt messages, great signs guide your guests and inject your personality into every corner of your day.


I’ve had a lovely wedding season this year - working collaboratively with some fantastic couples.

Each of these couples understood that wedding signs do more than just point to the loos – they help create a seamless experience for your guests. Clear, well-designed signage means fewer questions and more mingling. Plus, they add style, humour, and warmth to your day.

Here’s why adding thoughtful signage is a no-brainer:

  • Clear Guidance: Guests know where to go without needing to ask. From “This Way to the Bar” to “Mind the Step”, clear signs make life easier.

  • Adds Personality: Your signage can carry your tone of voice – playful, romantic, or downright cheeky.

  • Photo-Worthy Details: Well-crafted signs add charm and become part of the visual story of your day.

Sign Ideas for Maximum Impact

Here are a few ideas that go beyond the basics:

  1. Bar & Drinks Menus: Showcase your signature cocktails with a hand-painted menu.

  2. Dance Floor Direction: A bold arrow shouting “Get Your Groove On!” invites everyone to cut loose.

  3. Toilet Signs with Personality: “Powder Room” and “Lads & Lasses” keep things memorable.

  4. Welcome Boards: A warm welcome at the entrance sets the tone.

  5. Food Truck & Buffet Signs: Highlight your menu with charm and creativity.

  6. Photo Booth Instructions: Simple steps in a fun style keep the selfies rolling.

  7. Table Plans That Tell a Story: Why not turn your seating plan into a conversation starter?

design matters

Hand-painted signs have a magic that printed signs just can’t match. They feel personal, thoughtful, and crafted with love. Whether rustic and weathered or sleek and bold, hand-painted signs bring warmth and character to your wedding.

I work with couples to create one-of-a-kind signs that feel right for your day. Whether it’s adding in-jokes for your mates, sentimental phrases, or just bold arrows pointing to the bar – I’ll help you create signage that’s unforgettable.
