Make Your Venue Picture-Perfect with These Ceremony Accessories

Your wedding reception is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration that deserves to be done in style. However, creating a picture-perfect venue is essential to set the mood and leave a lasting impression on your guests. One of our favorite parts of the job is teaming up with couples to make their wedding ceremony truly shine. In this month’s blog, we will talk about some of the essential accessories that will make your venue picture-perfect.

Choose a Captivating Color Palette

Right off the bat, a show-stopping reception starts with a well-chosen color scheme. Work hand-in-hand with your wedding decorators to pick a color palette that captures both your theme and personal style. Timeless neutrals, dreamy pastels, or bold jewel tones can each create an unforgettable atmosphere that pulls everything together seamlessly.

Set the Tone with Your Guest Count

After choosing the color palette, it’s time for the details that pull everything together. A great starting point? Deciding how many invitations you need to order for your wedding. The number of invitations can help guide the flow of your decor, giving you a sense of how many guest tables, seating cards, and decor items you’ll need to create a cohesive space.

Now you’re ready to start the ceremony decoration, let’s start with the aisle runner. The aisle runner can set the stage for your ceremony. For outdoor venues, an ivory floral aisle runner can add a sense of ceremony and make your entrance feel extra special. If you’re indoors, it can help define the space, adding a graceful touch that frames the ceremony beautifully in photos.

Vintage Pearl Candle Stand Set

The vintage pearl candle stand set is all about adding that old-world charm to your decor. These stands pair beautifully with traditional or vintage-inspired decor, especially if your ceremony includes a unity candle tradition. The pearly details make it look unique and refined, giving you that “timeless romance” feel that wedding dreams are made of.

Our last pick for a unique and heartfelt accessory is the Inked Hearts Sand Ceremony. This four-piece set allows both of you to pour different colored sands into a central vase.

How Customized Stationery Has Stayed Relevant in Modern Times

For a number of reasons, it may seem as though the era of personal printers and hard copies is on its way out. However niches in the paper industry, customized stationery in particular, have proven their unparalleled value in the age of technology. Not only does customized stationery get your correspondence noticed and bolster branding, it even helps individuals further portray their affection to loved ones who are far away.

Brand Reinforcement

In terms of business, customized stationery can be incredibly powerful. Employees, clients, and anyone else who comes in to contact with the brand or one of its branded items will quickly realize that they are professional and committed to investing in their image. Whether it’s an official letter or a note pad, the brand is continuously being shared and gaining exposure.

Sentimental Purposes

What could portray more thoughtfulness than a customized thank you letter? Not a whole lot! While there has been a rise in popularity in the use of digital cards, the industry will never come close to sharing the same success that custom stationery continues to have. These types of notes are often kept for their nostalgic value, reconnecting them to the emotions the note emoted originally.

Indication of Importance

Most people understand that if something is important enough, it will be sent in the mail rather than via email. From invitations and legal statements to acceptance letters, messages delivered on customized stationery are able to emphasize the gravity of their importance. The full weight behind a message can truly be measured and understood simply by being customized and in physical form.

Conclusion

Beautiful for business and perfect for personal, customized stationery will continue to stand the test of time. Whether it’s for marketing purposes or everyday correspondence, nothing says how professional and organized you are than a branded product. It’s no surprise that more companies and individuals are investing in custom stationery than ever before. Contact us today for custom stationery products that are perfect for business and personal.
