50 Beautiful Wedding Welcome Signs Your Guests Will Remember

A wedding welcome sign is the first thing guests will see when they arrive on your big day, so it will give an immediate hint at the style and vibe that's to come. With that in mind, we think it's a great opportunity to make a stylish first impression. 

To get you feeling inspired, we've scoured the web for the prettiest welcome signs for weddings and it turns out the sky is pretty much the limit. From chalkboards and rustic wooden pallets to floral installations and hand-painted creations, you can easily match your wedding welcome sign with your theme. 

Wedding signs aren't just about the aesthetics, though. They're also a handy way to point guests in the direction of the bar (so important), let guests know that you're going unplugged or give them an idea of what will be happening and when. 

So, without further delay, here are our favourite wedding welcome sign ideas! 

1. Gorgeous Gatsby

The Great Gatsby is known for style, romance and unforgettable parties, so we can't think of a better theme to incorporate into your wedding day than the roaring 20s. Ensure your guests know that glitz and glamour awaits them with this elegant, vintage wedding welcome sign.  

2. Elegant Illustration

Keep your wedding welcome sign elegant and pretty by having illustrated florals. You can match the type and colour of flower to the theme of your wedding, but we have a soft spot for this beautiful blue hue.

3. Lovely Layers

Tonal layering is a trendy way to add colour into your wedding décor without being too distracting. Stick to soft shades such as orange, pink, cream and brown, adding texture to the wedding welcome sign with a bunch of blooms.

4. Watercolour Wash

We can see a watercolour wedding welcome sign fitting perfectly into a country house celebration. It's simple yet effective, and you can even give it a go yourself with a wash of paint and a white marker pen. 

5. Funny Font

Celebrate the fact that your special day has finally arrived with a funny wedding welcome sign. We reckon your guests won't be able to resist taking a few snaps by it before they take their seats.

6. Sophisticated Style

Minimalism doesn't have to mean boring. This chic monochrome wedding welcome sign has been given a gorgeous upgrade with the use of pillar candles and wildflower posies. Winter weddings, this one's for you. 

7. Cactus Cool

This cactus-themed wedding welcome sign is well suited for a destination celebration in sunnier climes, but it'll work just as well if you're having adorable mini cacti as your wedding favours too.

8. Cute Caption

Show yours and your partner's laid-back personalities with this cute and casual wedding welcome sign. It'll let your friends and family know how happy you are that they are there in a relaxed and informal way.

9. Family Affair

As well as welcoming your guests to the wedding, it'll be appreciated if you let them know where they should sit at your ceremony. If you have no set seating, this sign is ideal and a really sweet message. 

10. Petal Perfection

Rose petals are the epitome of romance and we love the idea of scattering them around the base of your wedding welcome sign. You could even trail them up the aisle too to keep the theme coherent.

11. Natural Beauty

If you're sticking to a neutral and pared back theme for your wedding day you'll love this sign that simply states your surname and date in a gorgeous black font. It'll also make a lovely keepsake after the big day.

12. Lush Greenery

Incorporating greenery into your wedding décor is a budget friendly (and on-trend) way to inject a fresh feel. Foliage tends to be cheaper than florals and it looks equally as stunning. 

13. Fragrant & Fresh

Speaking of greenery, why not opt for eucalyptus to adorn your wedding welcome sign? We adore how the decadent white font mirrors the long sprigs of foliage.

14. Barrels of Fun

A unique way to add a rustic touch to your wedding day is by placing your wedding welcome sign next to a reclaimed barrel. You might even be able to get your hands on one at your local tip.

15. Add Embellishments

Embellishments are a quick and easy way to jazz up your wedding welcome sign and and we're obsessed with the Instagram hashtag this couple have created so their guests can help them capture the love.

You've probably noticed pampas grass is the décor to have at your wedding and we can see why. It fits into any style of venue and can really elevate how it looks just like it has done with this acrylic wedding welcome sign. 

17. Make It Mini

You don't have to have a large statement sign to welcome your guests with, simply placing a gorgeous notice by your guest book will look wonderful and do the job just as well.
