In this day and age, couples are constantly looking for new, innovative ways to personalize their nuptials. When it comes to décor elements, some pairs find it difficult to walk the line between “sweet & sentimental” and “tacky,” as everyone desires a few custom items incorporated into their big day without compromising the elegance they’ve envisioned. One great way to marry personal and refined is to add meaningful quotes onto various accoutrements of your ceremony and reception.

The wonderful thing about quotes and sayings is their flexibility: they can be written in any font or size, and on a variety of décor elements. What’s more, you have a plethora of options to choose from – some couples use words of wisdom passed down through their family for generations, others use direct passages from their favorite book, and some even take their favorite lines from a movie or TV show to feature. These words will invoke in your guests the essence of your love and commitment to one another.
