Every bride wants their wedding to be like no other. A unique and personal affair that friends and family will remember for years to come.
Paper products are now being used for all sorts of things, and it can be the common element which ties your wedding, reception, décor, entertainment, and invitations all together. Yes, paper. Paper products at weddings are no longer limited to printed napkins and matchboxes. It can be a storyteller, give a cohesive look and ambience to an event, and there’s so many things to use it for. With inspirational and crafty websites like Etsy and Pinterest, many brides are seeking professionally handcrafted décor.
Mandi Pipes and Megan Murphy at The Event Company’s Paper Studio in College Station shared their favorite trends with us.
1 | Paper Pennants
Looking for a vintage and/or youth inspired decorations? Draping paper pennants along your venue’s walls will tie your wedding color palette and theme together with your table décor and other social areas. Since these add visual interest, they look great as a photobooth backdrop or a background for your cake table.
2 | Chair Hangers
His & Hers. Mr. & Mrs. Just & Married. Signs uniquely identifying the bride and groom which adorn the chairs are a great way to play up what is otherwise just covered seating.
3 | Beverage and Food Labels
Labels are personal and can both adorn and identify food dishes and signature beverages with style. DIY brides with a fancy printer can follow a template online, though we suggest ordering from a stationer for consistency in printing quality and paper.
4 | Paper Pom Poms & Garlands
Paper pom poms and garlands hung from walls and the ceiling will elicit awe and “awww”s from your guests. These are created with die-cut, textured and/or patterned paper mixed with solid color paper; or simply colored or dyed tissue paper. An inexpensive way to add whimsy or glamour to your event.
5 | Photo Booth Props & Backdrop
The photo booth, also trendy at weddings, is a fun favor for guests, but is also a great way to save and share memories from the wedding. Stationers can create custom props, signs, backgrounds, and other accessories to make your photobooth consistent with your theme and/or color scheme.
6 | Paper Lanterns
Hanging paper lanterns from the ceiling or using them as table décor is an easy way to bring an elegant look to the wedding without breaking the bank. Adorn them with crystals or ribbons for added sparkle.
7 | Scrapbook Station
Vendors that rent photo booths will print an extra set of photo strips for guests to paste into a scrapbook with a message to the bride and groom. A fun, modern twist on the traditional guestbook.
8 | Table Numbers
Turn table numbers into works of art with great paper selection and design. Whether you have a typeface or font that you have used consistently, color scheme, or simple design element, you can turn table numbers into dual purpose table décor.
