If first impressions are everything, why not begin your wedding with a detail that sets the scene for the rest of the celebration? Your wedding welcome sign is the perfect moment to showcase the style of your big day, so don’t shy away from getting extra creative.
To keep the event feel cohesive, you’ll want your wedding welcome sign to echo motifs featured elsewhere in your overall design scheme. Repeat fonts, colors, and floral choices found on your invitations and other major décor moments for a planner-approved look.
Beyond that directive, though, the sky is seriously the limit when it comes to what to display. For further inspiration, we rounded up a whole roster of stylish wedding welcome sign ideas for you to peruse. Whether you opt for an acrylic wedding welcome sign, a DIY wedding welcome sign, or a banner featuring a favorite song lyric or quote, rest assured that as long as you stay true to you, the style will perfectly vibe with your celebration.

Nothing sets the scene for a tropical beach wedding like a palm tree! We love the way this neutral wedding sign plays into the colors of its sandy surrounds, and the strategically placed disco balls amplify the party atmosphere.
Clear and Simple

Following Schedule

Your wedding welcome sign is the perfect opportunity to share important details about your ceremony. If you’re looking to have an unplugged ceremony, be sure to explain your request in a prominent way.
Happy Campers

Pro tip: A sidewalk sign with interchangeable letters is an easy way to DIY a wedding welcome sign without spending a whole lot of extra cash. Include a simple but heartfelt message to your guests to add a jolt of warmth to the otherwise spare design.
Loving Lucite

A neon wedding sign is a total triple threat! Hang it at the entrance of your welcome party, over your sweetheart table at the reception, and in your home after the wedding.

A New Frame of Mind

Pressed blooms are a beautiful bit of flower power to add to the entrance of a boho wedding. To further emphasize a casual, carefree vibe, sit your sign directly on the ground.
Simply Chic

Your wedding welcome sign definitely doesn’t have to be oversized! Place standard paper-sized welcome signs atop cocktail tables for a similar effect. The tone-on-tone design of this dusty rose number is especially pretty.
Compliments Only

The best part about black wedding décor is that it can veer classic or modern, depending on how you style it. This punny wedding welcome sign fits into both categories, and the candle details are no-brainer accents.
Royal Watch
This formal wedding welcome sign has a rich texture that pairs well with the silver lettering and intricate detailing on the mahogany easel. All-in-all, the look is serving sumptuous, Regency-style vibes perfect for a castle wedding.
