Much like the jewellery and accessories you wear to enhance your outfits, wedding signage enhances
the visual appeal of an event. Well-designed signs can transform a plain venue into an alluring,
inviting, and vibrant space. They set the tone, provide information, allow you to express
creativity, offer a sense of balance, and add character to your event. While simple signs can be
functional, beautifully crafted signs can be statement pieces that make your event more
attractive and comfortable.
Setting the tone
Wedding signage, like jewellery, has the ability to influence your emotions and mood for the day. Whether it’s your favourite pair of cufflinks, a gorgeous ring, a neon sign, or gold acrylic table numbers,
each piece has the potential to set the mood and ambience of your event.
Imagine walking into your reception hall where a beautifully designed welcome sign greets you,
setting the stage for the elegance or rustic charm that awaits. This immediate visual cue can
elevate the atmosphere and make guests feel like they are part of something special.
Guides and Directs
In the same way that you would draw attention to your neckline with a necklace or look at your
watch for the time, wedding signage serves the same dual purpose as jewellery by accentuating your
event’s appearance while being functional. It performs useful tasks such as directing guests,
providing information, and enhancing the visual appeal of your venue. Signage improves the flow
and overall experience of your event by drawing your guests’ attention and guiding them
through the space.
Express your Personality
Jewellery is often chosen to reflect personal tastes and can be customized. Similarly, wedding signage
can be personalized to suit your event’s theme. Customized signs can make your event feel
unique and purposeful. From a fun selfie mirror sign to a seating chart featuring photos of a couple, personalized signage can tell a unique story and make your guests feel more connected.
Balancing your Style
Just as jewellery can pull an outfit together, signs can create cohesion throughout your event.
Consistencies in your signage in terms of design, colour scheme, and messaging tie together
the different aspects of your event, making it unified and well-organized.
A great way to start this is by knowing the style of your event. Are you leaning towards a more luxurious, classic, or rustic style? By answering that question, you will be able to determine what style of signage will suit your event. A cohesive look can be achieved by using the same fonts, colours, and materials throughout your signage, from favour signs to the menu cards. This attention to detail ensures that every
element of your event is in harmony.
Creates Texture and Dimension
Jewellery made from different materials can add texture and dimension to your look. With
signage, you can create the same type of dimension to your space. Layering your
gold foiled menu cards and gold acrylic place cards on your glass charger plate with a matte
satin napkin. Creating an inviting scene by having your silver mirrored welcome sign paired
with candles and greenery facing your guests as they walk in so that they see a picturesque
scene with them in it. In both examples, layering materials and paying attention to the finishes
adds balance and composition to your event. This not only creates a stunning visual but also
adds depth and interest to your event decor.
Just as jewellery is an important component to a wedding dress or suit, event signage can be a
critical element to any successful event. With thoughtful and well-executed signs from Signtique Designs, you can weave a captivating tale, one that expresses your care to your significant other, your guest and to your event. While you can certainly have a good event without signage, adding that extra level of polish and detail can transform a good event to a memorable one; leaving a lasting
impression, much like the perfect piece of jewellery that completes an outfit.
