How To Create A Cohesive Look With Your Wedding Stationery And Signage
Think of your wedding as a brand — every detail, from the invitation to the signage, contributes to the overall experience and sets the tone for what’s to come. Just as a brand creates a visual identity with consistency, so should your wedding stationery and signage.
When designed with intention, these elements work together to tell your unique love story and immerse your guests in the celebration from the very first glance.
Here’s how to approach your wedding stationery and signage like a branding project to create a cohesive, elevated look:
1. Define Your Wedding’s “Brand”
Start by thinking of your wedding as a brand. What feeling do you want to evoke? Are you aiming for a romantic, timeless look or something sleek and contemporary?
Your wedding’s "brand" should inform every design decision, from colours and fonts to textures and illustrations. The key is consistency — your stationery and signage should reflect the same visual language throughout.
2. Choose a Signature Colour Palette
Just like a logo or brand colours, your wedding palette should be consistent across every design element.
Pick 2-3 core colours (with a few complementary shades, if desired) and use them thoughtfully across invitations, day-of signage, and any printed materials. This creates a visual harmony that feels intentional and tied together.
3. Keep Your Typography Consistent
Think of typography as the voice of your brand. Whether you’re using modern, minimalist fonts or elegant, script lettering, keep your font choices consistent across all wedding stationery and signage.
This creates a unified feel and reinforces the overall aesthetic you want to convey. We also recommend a maximum of two fonts that compliment each other.
4. Develop a Signature Motif or Icon
Just as logos or symbols are integral to a brand’s identity, your wedding can have its own signature motif or icon. This could be a custom monogram, a floral design, or an illustration of your venue.
Repeating this motif throughout your stationery and signage strengthens your wedding’s visual identity and gives it a personalised, polished touch.
5. Work With a Designer Who Sees the Big Picture
When you approach your wedding stationery and signage as part of an overall design strategy, it’s important to work with a designer who can bring your vision to life across all the elements.
