Where to start: wedding co-ordinates
Among the many details to be organised for the big day, one of the most underestimated - but absolutely fundamental - aspects is the choice of the graphic wedding co-ordinates. They are not just decorative elements, but tools that tell your story, help guests find their way around and make the event visually harmonious.
But what coordinates are really indispensable for the wedding day? Here is a complete guide to not forgetting anything.
1. Welcome sign
A welcome sign is the first element that welcomes guests. It can be simple or scenic, but it must immediately convey the mood of the event. Besides giving an aesthetic touch, it creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
2. Ceremony Booklet
The ceremony booklet is an important element, especially in weddings with religious or symbolic rites. It helps guests follow each moment, understand the various steps and feel involved. It is also a beautiful memento to keep.
3. Tableau de Mariage
Indispensable for the organisation of the reception. The tableau mariage guides guests to their places in a clear and orderly manner. Whether on mirror, individual cards, fabric, it is one of the most photographed elements.
4. Table and Place Cards
I Table Sign card help identify each table, while the Place card with names customised add a refined touch. They also often become small souvenirs. Ideally, they should be consistent with the theme and palette of the wedding. Indispensable if you have imperial tables.
5. Wedding Menu
The menu is an elegant detail that enhances the dining experience. It can be placed on each plate or shared in the centre of the table. It is an element that combines aesthetics and functionality, completing the set-up.
6. Directional Signs
If the location is large or articulated, some directional signs are indispensable to help guests easily find the ceremony, aperitif, toilets or special corners such as the photobooth. They can be minimal or decorative, but always clearly legible.
7. Thanksgiving Cards
A simple but much appreciated thought. I thank you cards can be left at the table, placed in wedding bags or delivered at the end of the day. An elegant way to express gratitude to those who shared your special day.
