Wedding Signage Ideas and Inspiration

Unplugged Ceremony

An unplugged ceremony is a specific type of wedding ceremony where wedding guests are asked to turn off their phones, cameras, and other devices to fully be present in the wedding ceremony that's happening in front of them. In addition, this also means that wedding guests should refrain from texting, social media posting, or taking personal photographs during the ceremony, allowing the couple and fellow wedding guests to enjoy and partake in an intimate, distraction-free experience. Many couples opt for an unplugged wedding ceremony to avoid interruptions, ensure professional photographers capture the best moments without any interference, and foster a more meaningful, emotionally connected atmosphere. To inform their guests, couples often use unplugged ceremony signs, make announcements before the ceremony, or include a note in the wedding program. Whether completely unplugged or just requesting no photos during key moments, this approach helps preserve the enchantment and intimacy of the wedding day.

Unplugged Ceremony Signs

Your unplugged ceremony sign can be placed in many places throughout your wedding venue. As mentioned above, you could opt to put a message in the wedding program or you could have an actual sign that's placed at the entrance to your ceremony. Depending on the size of your unplugged ceremony signage, you could have it staged on a decorative easel as soon as wedding guests enter your ceremony venue or you could have it decorated on an entrance table. Regardless of how you place your unplugged ceremony sign, the most important thing to remember is that it's visible for all wedding guests to view and serve as a reminder to put away their phones during the ceremony portion of your wedding.

Unplugged Wedding Sign

Hosting an unplugged wedding is a thoughtful and elegant way to kindly ask guests to refrain from using their phones and cameras, allowing them to be fully engaged in the ceremony. Placing the sign at the entrance to the ceremony space or on a stand visible to all guests serves as a friendly reminder to put away devices and immerse themselves in the special moment without the distraction of screens. The purpose of an unplugged wedding sign is twofold: it encourages guests to focus on the couple’s vows and emotions rather than their devices, and it ensures that the professional photographer can capture clear, unobstructed shots without phones in the background. These signs often feature warm and welcoming phrases such as 'Please unplug and enjoy the moment,' 'Unplugged ceremony – phones away,' or 'Let’s capture this moment together, without screens.' Whether crafted in elegant calligraphy on acrylic, wood, or linen fabric, an unplugged wedding sign enhances the ceremony atmosphere by creating a more intimate and distraction-free experience for both the couple and their guests.

Wedding Ceremony Signs

Wedding ceremony signs serve as both decorative and practical displays that are used to guide guests, enhance the ceremony space, and add a personalized touch to the wedding. They play a crucial role in setting the tone for the event and ensuring that guests have all the information they need. Common types of wedding ceremony signs include welcome signs, which warmly greet guests upon their arrival, seating signs, which clarify seating arrangements, and unplugged ceremony signs, which kindly request guests to refrain from using phones or cameras. Additional options include order of events signs, which outline the ceremony timeline, and directional signs, which help guests find key locations such as the reception area or cocktail hour. These signs can be crafted from various materials such as acrylic, wood, mirrors, or linen fabric, featuring elegant calligraphy, modern typography, or custom artwork. Whether they have a minimalist, rustic, or luxurious design, these signs serve a practical and aesthetic purpose, ensuring a smooth and visually cohesive ceremony experience.

Wedding Signage

Wedding signage includes decorative and functional signs that are used throughout the wedding to guide, inform, and enhance the overall aesthetic of the event. These signs encompass elegant welcome signs, seating charts, signature drink menus, and unplugged ceremony signs, which assist guests in navigating the celebration and add a personalized touch. They can be crafted on a plethora of wedding signage surfaces, such as mirrors, acrylic, or linen, featuring beautiful calligraphy, custom illustrations, or modern typography. Whether providing directions, displaying a schedule, or highlighting special moments, wedding signage serves as both a stylish décor element and a practical way to ensure a smooth, well-organized event.

Frequently Asked Questions

WILL I RECEIVE A PROOF OF MY ORDER?

Any order that has a customized element to it will receive a proof prior to us actually making it. With that being said, we also offer unlimited edits and revisions with each order. If you end up not liking the fonts that you selected upon checkout, you will have the opportunity to see your design in different fonts during the proofing process.

HOW CLOSE TO MY WEDDING SHOULD I ORDER MY SEATING CHART?

Typically, brides order their seating chart within 3-4 weeks of their actual wedding date. However, we also have brides who order their wedding seating chart months in advance to "reserve" their spot with our design team. One of the necessary factors for having a seating chart is for RSVPs to be finalized, many of which are changing up until the week of the wedding.

By ordering your seating chart, you are "reserving" the materials and labor for your order to be prepared - meaning that if you don't want to wait until the last minute, you can "reserve" our schedule to create it when your RSVPs are final.

Your finalized seating chart is not necessary to order. All seating chart orders will receive a proof prior to us actually making the order.

DO YOU OFFER WEDDING SIGN BUNDLES FOR A DISCOUNTED RATE?

Due to the large demand of having wedding signage bundles, we rolled out this glorious process at the beginning on 2024. We have several bundles that we offer:

Welcome Sign & Cocktail Mirror
Seating Chart & Cocktail Mirror
Welcome Sign & Seating Chart
Welcome Sign, Seating Chart, & Cocktail Mirror

We also have several product launches planned for the remainder of 2024, many of them were created based on requests from our customers. If you have an "Inspiration" picture that you are looking to create, we would love to work with you to make that happen. Feel free to reach out to us directly so we can assist with the proper ordering and timeframe.

WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE MY OWN MIRROR?

Some brides come to us and say that they already have their own wedding mirror that they want to use, but they are just looking for the Vinyl portion of the design (the sticker part).

We have a Vinyl-Only option listed in our store under DIY Wedding Decor. We also offer printed cardstock seating chart cards with wax seals as well for brides looking to make their own seating chart.

If you are looking for another type of sign that might need a custom wedding vinyl decal or another material that we can provide, please send us a message.

HOW WILL MY ORDER BE DELIVERED?

All orders will come completley assembled and "Wedding Ready" right of the box. The goal for all of our customers is to not have any last-minute DIY projects before their big day.

Welcome Signs and Cocktail Menus will already have custom vinyl decals assembled on the mirror.
Seating Charts will come already assumbled with the individual cards applied to the mirror, wax seals applied, and the custom vinyl wording at the top also applied.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY MIRROR BREAKS DURING SHIPPING?

Each order is hand-packaged with shipping supplies that was customized to suite the needs of the individual product. However, sometimes there are instances where a mirror will break during delivery. In this case, Magnolia Dreams will replace and ship your mirror for no additional charge and submit a claim on your behalf. In order to receive a replacement mirror, the request must be made 72 hours after the tracking number has been marked as delivered. Please send pictures of broken mirrors to info@magnoliadreams.shop or text them to 423.225.9700.

In the event that your order arrives the week of your wedding and you need a replacement ASAP, Magnolia Dreams will ship you a complimentary mirror with expedited shipping. We do reserve the right to give you a refund if it's just NOT possible to get it to you in time (truly the worst case scenerio).
