Darling Lovebird friends!
Are you getting wed on the Amalfi Coast and seeking inspiration for your magical I’Do’s? Today’s wedspo is all about your paperie, invites, and gorgeous gifting signage! We’ve rounded up some bits of advice to cue in for that extra dose of pretty. So read along for 5 minutes flat to know all you need about your Amalfi Coast wedding stationery!
Now, Wedding Stationery & Signage are a major part of a destination wedding! They’re not just details; they’re gorgeous trails teasing the magic your guests are going to witness! They can run the gamut from romantic to whimsical, and from uber-luxe to calligraphic little wonders, bold for the statement-lovers, fine for the taste-makers, sleek, chic, glamorous, ornate, modern, or regal, any word you can think of to describe your wedding is all about lasting impressions!
Fist off it’s the Vibes that start the party before guests even RSVP! With cool fonts, cute drawings, and snazzy wording, you offer a sneak peek into your wedding style. By looking at your stationery choices, your guests can instantly catch the feel of what’s down the aisle, ehm, the line, while the first bits of valuable information pours. Where at, what hour of the day, what dress code, what’s next… so all of your choices in wedding stationery and signage should follow a linear pattern and thought!
The visual treat of artwork doesn’t end with Save The Dates, however. Menus, charts, escort cards, maps, thank you notes, vow books, wish books, ceremony guides & gifting are all part of it! Because you’re not simply opting for mere papers that contain information. Months ahead of your wedding and you’re already entertaining. Ideas, thoughts, processes, expectations, and anticipation are all evoked via your choices. Not to mention the actual tips (what to know about the place? check out the map!, what we’re having for dinner? here’s a visual tease! and so on)
So, where do you begin seeking out inspiration? While it’s all so tempting to start rummaging around Pinterest or IG accounts for the perfect pieces, La Calla Events always advises our clients to go through Paperie Shops | Online Stores | Free Press Sites | Wedding Stationeers. Yes! All of them! Nothing beats the precious intel you’ll gather about paper weights, possiblities, techiques, materials (azulejo tile thank you notes anyone?) used by today’s couples that ooze personality and flair!
But, honestly, why go through all this trouble? Well, because in order to make a savvy decision, it’s all about weighing the options and knowing the ins and outs of each investment. Yep, every choice comes with a double serving of pros and cons! Where a custom-tailored stationery suite and signage capsule of goods comes with the most personalized flair (think silk foulards and pochettes matching your theme, a live-painting portrait of your wedding ceremony or husband-and-wife kiss, picture-perfect goodie bags, fans, and travel tags – we’re looking at you Stephanie & Jason), it comes pricier than a simple design chosen online. Whereas the latter is budget-friendlier but the options rather limited.
Wishing to work with an Artist to tailor-make your wedding stationery, signage, and gifts? You’re in for timeline juggling, etiquette guidance, and other sweet bonuses come with choosing a stationer over a mundane online click. Yes, you’re also in for a much costlier option, but it all boils down to how high you rank wedding experience for the guests, and your palpable souvenirs on your grand list of priorities.
You may find yourselves asking now. Isn’t that what our wedding planner should guide us with? Well… let us just say that if someone asks who you’re dialing for help, sure, “Ghostbusters” might be the proverbial guess, but deep down, you’ve got a better answer up your sleeve…”
See you on the planning side,
Laura & Marianna
