WEDDING PROGRAMS:
This can be a poster or a traditional brochure. We will discuss this detail.
WEDDING SIGNAGE:
To bring in the blues and grays, we would design a custom signage set to match the Grey Watercolor Flowers signs. The custom cards will be for the guestbook, favors, programs, etc. Each sign will be in a silver frame.
W E L CO M E S I G N & S E AT I N G C H A R T :
A Grey Watercolor Flowers WELCOME Sign and a 24x36 seating chart will be created in the color palette of white, gray and blues. A silver frame will be used or it can be mounted without framing if Aisha and Thomas prefer. This will be displayed in the foyer area of the reception venue. Custom Watercolor table numbers will be placed at each table to tie in the ethereal style. A mirror cut “bride and groom� name plate will be placed on the bride and groom place setting in lieu of chair signs since guests will not see the backs of the chairs.
