Give your wedding day a custom glow.
We love a good wedding sign—especially when it's of the neon variety. From welcome signage to bar décor, displaying your name or favorite saying with a neon wedding sign is a surefire way to make your party pop. With their endless customizable possibilities, couples can create a fun glowing design moment that really makes a statement.
“The best thing about neon signs? They're a cutting-edge way to express your personalities," explains Jenna Miller, creative director at wedding planning firm Here Comes the Guide. "Hint at how you met with a 'You had me at hello!' sign, shout out where you’re from with something like 'California love,' or share a sentiment unique to your relationship like 'It was always you.'"
Jenna Miller is the creative director at Here Comes the Guide, a women-run wedding planning firm.
“A swanky neon sign crafted with a sweet cursive sentiment is chic enough to stand on its own," she continues. "Not only will you save money on additional over-the-top wedding décor, but you'll also invest in a piece that can be displayed in your home!"
You could also use this bold design moment to help the flow of your wedding day. "Typically, signs are used at weddings to steer guests in the right direction," says Miller. "Instead of the traditional wooden sign, why not greet guests in a more modern way with a glowing 'Welcome' neon sign or a 'Meet us at the bar' directive pointing to cocktail hour? It's a whimsical way to show guests where to go.” Miller also suggests encouraging guests to take photos and share on social media by creating a sign with your wedding hashtag.
Since this wedding trend doesn't seem to be going anywhere, we rounded up some of our favorite neon wedding signs below to inspire your own custom design.

Neon signs don't need to be directional in the physical sense. They can also provide guests with inspiration to loosen up and let go of their inhibitions. This one, in particular, inspires a night of dancing under the canopy of palm fronds and disco balls at this beach wedding in Tulum.

How sweet is this pink neon sign behind a couple's sweetheart table? Newlyweds Stephanie and Dan had a greenery and floral wall designed, along with a custom sign with their new last initial. In fact, this sign held particular meaning for the couple's family at their Palm Springs reception. "“The neon sign was our favorite décor piece. We love to geek out over fonts, especially Dan. And, ‘Mr. and Mrs. A’ is a loving family reference with a bit of history, so it sparked a lot of smiles with his relatives," shares the bride.
You can't go wrong with a simple pairing of a couple's first names of a neon sign. The grooms at this art gallery wedding decided to punctuate the blank space by bringing in a greenery wall decorated with this fun accent.

Get some bang for your buck and create a neon sign that you know you can use back at home when the festivities are over. Couple Lauren Price and Brandon Chambers had a neon creation that read "Chambers Landing" placed above their wedding bar as a fun nod to their last name and an iconic location. "This is a famous bar in Lake Tahoe that the family always went to when visiting for the Fourth of July," explains Lauren. "We thought this was a really fun and unique element that would not only surprise our guests that knew him well, but would also make for a great and sentimental piece to add to our bar at home after the wedding."

Take your bohemian backdrop to the next level with a wall full of florals, dried grasses, and a bold custom neon sign. It was the perfect photo backdrop at this Cabo San Lucas wedding.
