Neon signs are a great way to add personality, ambiance, and unique photo opportunities to a wedding day without feeling overly trendy if they're used thoughtfully. Today we’re sharing how you can incorporate them into your day with ease.
Ceremony backdrop
Place a custom neon sign behind the altar or ceremony arch. Popular ideas are your first names, your joint surname, the wedding date or a meaningful phrase such as 'Better together.'
Photo booth feature
Neon signs pair naturally with photo booth setups and encourage guests to take memorable pictures. Great phrases to use include 'Crazy in love,' 'Let's party,' and 'Good vibes only.'
Welcome sign
Incorporate a small neon sign into your welcome display rather than using a traditional printed sign alone. You could frame it in greenery, attach to an acrylic welcome sign or add it to a flower wall.
Dance floor, bar signage or lounge area
A large neon sign beside the dance floor or next to the bar creates a celebration atmosphere, whilst a fun neon sign at the lounge area can help define the space.
Design tips to consider
- Match your wedding style. Warm white neon works beautifully for classic, romantic weddings, while coloured neon suits modern, industrial, or urban venues.
- Don't overdo it. One statement sign is often more impactful than several smaller signs.
- Co-ordinate with florals. Greenery, flowers, and draping can soften the modern look of neon.
- Consider readability. Script fonts look elegant but can be difficult to read from a distance.
- Think about post-wedding use. Custom signs can become home decor after the wedding.
