How do I design a wedding welcome sign with flowers?

Start with the words you want guests to read, such as "Welcome to our wedding" or "Today we marry". Keep the text short and bold so it is easy to read from a distance. Pick a board that suits your theme, like wood, acrylic, or a mirror, and make sure it stands firmly or hangs safely.

For the flowers, think about the style of your wedding. Fresh flowers look lovely but need to be put in place close to the ceremony and kept cool. Silk flowers are easier and can be prepared days ahead. Arrange flowers along one side or across the top corner, leaving the centre clear for your message. Use a mix of greenery, small blooms, and one or two larger flowers for balance. Attach them with wire, clips, or a floral foam block hidden behind the arrangement.

Consider the setting too. An outdoor sign may need to be weighted down, while an indoor sign can lean against a wall or easel. Ask your florist or a friend to help if you are not confident. The sign should feel welcoming, not crowded, so step back and check that the text still stands out.
