Rustic Wedding Signs

There are many design elements that make up a great rustic wedding. From perfectly designed centerpieces to a beautiful outdoor ceremony, the right rustic wedding aesthetic will always make for Pinterest-worthy pictures. Today we are going to talk about different types of rustic signage and how they can add to your outdoor barn wedding!

1. Chalkboard Sandwich Signs

One of my favorite types of signs is a simple chalkboard sandwich sign. We made these signs out of plywood, chalkboard paint, and rough cut cedar boards.

There are many uses for chalkboard signs. They make great options for event day schedules, seating charts, menus, drink lists, and more. The best thing about chalkboard signs is that they can be customized for each event! Did the menu change? No problem, erase the writing and start again! Chalkboard signs give you the perfect rustic look without the permanence of painted signs!

To get the fancy calligraphy look on your chalkboard signs, use a chalk marker instead of regular chalk. The chalk marker let’s you write much easier and gives you a cleaner line. Also, if you aren’t confident in your letter design, download some fancy calligraphy fonts and design your sign beforehand on a word processing program. While your sign might not turn out perfect, part of the rustic wedding appeal is having an authentic hand-written sign rather than a simple computer printout. You can always hire an artist to design your sign as well! I guess learning cursive in elementary school finally paid off!

2. Direction Signs

Direction signs set up a fairytale atmosphere at the venue. These signs take me back to my childhood obsession with the Alice in Wonderland cartoon when she is lost in the woods. In addition to being a great photo-op, the signs are also useful as they can point guests in the right direction for important areas around the venue. In large, farm-style venues it’s not always clear which direction to go. If you don’t have a guest greeter for your event, direction signs can play an important role in helping guests find their way.

3. Painted Wedding Signs

“The signs can be customized for your event, or just a generic wedding sign.”
Simple painted wedding signs on a wooden plank are no doubt the easiest signs to create for an event. All that you need to make these signs is: a nice plank of wood, some exterior latex acrylic paint, and a paintbrush. The signs can be customized for your event, or just a generic wedding sign.

​Some of my favorite custom signs are: the couple’s initials, wedding hashtag, favorite quote, couple’s last names, etc.. some of my favorite generic signs: wedding, Mr. & Mrs., love, popular wedding quotes (i.e. pick a seat not a side..., love is patient...), etc..

4. Overall

Signs can add so much to your outdoor wedding or event. There are many different types signs, each adding a unique design element.

My son wants to have a nice rustic feeling for his wedding, so I'm trying to help him out. It makes sense that we would want to choose a nice venue that will allow us to put up some signs of our own. I can see how direction signs would provide a good aesthetic for this kind of thing.

I like the look of those wooden signs. That definitely does give a rustic feel. My brother is considering married, so I'll have to recommend that he looks into signs like that.

I definitely agree that when looking to have a rustic wedding sign made, it is important that we ensure it complements the theme. It makes sense as that way, it ensures that the sign is in harmony with the theme of the wedding. Since my sister is looking to have a rustic themed wedding, I will remind her about the wooden signage.

The basic change among made and juvenile countries is the idea of tutoring. At the point when juvenile countries start contributing a colossal proportion of money in their enlightening region so they can moreover become like made countries.
