1.The purpose of the wedding tables:

Wedding signs are more than just decoration. They are a guide for your guests. They are used to:

• Welcome: Greet your guests with a beautifully written welcome message that shows them how much their presence means to you.
• Seating arrangements: Help guests find their space with elegantly written seating plans.
• Menus: Write your wedding dinner menu in calligraphy and add a special touch to the dining experience.
• Instructions and acknowledgements: Some boards may also include a thank-you note.
• Photo corner is a popular attraction at many weddings, allowing guests to create fun and unique memories of their wedding celebrations.

The photo below shows a modern wedding chalkboard in clear acrylic, placed on an elegant wooden stand. The chalkboard reads "Photo Corner" in white stylised calligraphy, suggesting a special area for guests to take photos. The edge of the board is adorned with a beautifully arranged floral decoration in warm shades, with an emphasis on gold and sand.

This floral arrangement brings a feeling of warmth and luxury, while blending perfectly with the natural ambience in the background. The sunlight filtering through the trees adds a touch of magic to the whole scene. Wedding signs like this one not only guide the guests, but also complement the theme and aesthetics of the wedding decoration.

2. Variety of materials:

• Acrylic translucent boards: The translucency of acrylic chalkboards is something truly special in the world of wedding decoration. These boards give the sensation of floating, as they appear almost imperceptible until the calligraphed message shines through. Most of the time, the font is white, which really comes out in all its power and beauty against the transparent background. When light passes through the boards, it creates a wonderful play of shadows and light that adds to the mysterious and dreamlike atmosphere. This effect can be further enhanced by adding candles or other lighting elements close to the board. This aesthetic effect is both sophisticated and bold, making acrylic translucent boards the ideal choice for those who want something different, fresh yet classically elegant.

• Acrylic boards with coloured backing: If you want to add a splash of colour to your wedding, acrylic chalkboards with a coloured backing are perfect for you. The coloured backing can match perfectly with the other details of the wedding and the calligraphy will really stand out. We also often incorporate shiny pearl drops into the base, which act as little windows to the universe, inviting us to immerse ourselves in our own fairytale and let our imagination run wild.

• Mirrors: The inscription on the mirror is the height of luxury, creating a sense of fairytale in any room. Guests will be amazed by their extraordinary beauty and will be delighted to use them as the perfect backdrop for their wedding photos.

• Wood: For those who want a warmer and rustic atmosphere, there are wooden boards an excellent choice. Their natural texture and earthy tones, combined with a subtle touch of calligraphy, bring a sense of homeliness that blends seamlessly with tradition.

• Non-traditional materials: For adventurous couples who want something really different, there are non-traditional materials such as window sashes or old car doors. Imagine how exciting it would be to see your name or wedding date in calligraphy on such a remarkable object!

2. The art of calligraphy:

Calligraphy is more than just beautiful writing. It is the dance of letters on paper or any other surface. Every stroke, every line is designed with intention and love. With LITERAS calligraphy, you can choose to handwrite directly on the board or choose digital calligraphy, which is then converted into foil lettering. This allows you to perfectly coordinate your signs with other printed materials and wedding day decorations.

3. After the wedding:

After the wedding, many couples are worried about where to go with the tables. If you don't want signage piling up in your home, renting is a great solution. However, if you decide to buy, you can use the boards as decoration in your home or as a memento of your special day. At a time when environmental responsibility is becoming more and more important, choosing wooden signs or renting acrylic signs allows you to avoid unnecessary waste. Acrylic boards, which are made of plastic materials, can be reused by renting them, reducing the impact on the environment while adding a sophisticated touch to the celebration.

Wedding signs and banners are more than just an addition to the decoration. They are part of your story, an expression of your personality and the love you share. At LITERAS for calligraphy we offer you the opportunity to elevate your wedding day with the art of calligraphy, which is sure to leave a lasting impression on everyone present. Let your love story come to life through beautiful handwriting and become something you will treasure forever.
