Your guests ought to know where to go…
Our ceremony and reception are happening at the same location. Tricky thing is, we need our guests to walk around the manor and to the ceremony site, and not inside the manor. They’re going into the manor from the back after the ceremony (unless they need to use the restroom or something, in which case we’ll let em in!). The reason for this is so we don’t spoil the reception reveal. We also don’t want our guests to get confused walking through the reception area first and possibly not realizing they have to go back outside to the ceremony. Oh, and there’s the whole “stunning view” thing. Walking around the manor and into the garden will wow our guests with the stunning view of the Potomac River…
So how’s all this going to be possible? What are the logistics?
I honestly do not know yet. It’s one reason we want a wedding planner (one of the many reasons) and one who has hosted weddings at our venue. My first instinct is beautiful signage. Have these stacked out when guests walk up to the manor, directing them to the ceremony…

Did you use signs to direct guests on your wedding day? Did you make them yourself or order them?
Ushers could help too if you want to have any!
Ahhh, I totally need to make wedding signage. These are so pretty!
I love signs! So far I have made Bride and Groom signs for our chairs, but no other signs yet. Its on my forever long to do list!!
I am very busy choking over the “goats” sign at the moment! “Wedding, lemonade, garden, games, GOATS” !!! Ha!
Okay seriously, I love the signage. This is something I’m holding off on worrying about at the moment but your inspiration pics are gorgeous.
Our ceremony and reception are also taking place in the same location (cute little B&B in the White Mountains of NH) and we also wanted to make sure the guests didn’t get an early preview of our reception tent. So we decided to go with signage as well.
My fiance and I MADE signs that look very much like the ones from The Back Porch Shoppe on etsy. They were soooo easy to make and look amazing! We’re so proud of ourselves…lol!
I love the idea of wedding signs, you can get fun, whimsical, or classic. I hope you end up using some!
I purchased my wedding signage from BuildASign.com. They don’t have the rustic look but it is beautiful and really well-made.
My brother (age 14) and I worked out some signs, and I wrote the text on then, and he wood burned them. It was a fun thing for him to do..
We used signs…and they were awesome!
It was one thing the guests commented on.
I have 10 signs made and would be willing to sell them, if you decide to go this route!
:)!
We are thinking of signage too…our wedding location is a pretty big plot of land. First I need to figure out where I want to do everything. YIKES!
Love the signs! Our venue is pretty self-explanatory, so I don’t think we will be using any.
You gave a good idea on making those signs! I will do some when planning weddings.
I found these signs made by NANA and LOVE them! Perfect for Weddings and great gifts too!
[...] blogs each and every day; the Mr. and Mrs. signs, the aisle decor, the vintage furniture, wedding signs, and so much more. As we inch our way closer to the big day, however, we’re finding all these [...]
Amazing blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your design. Thanks

Mrs. Brooch, Arlington, VA Age and Occupation: 25, Writer/Editor Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Front Desk Manager Engagement Date: October 3, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2011 Venue: Oxon Hill Manor About Me: I’m an indecisive girlie-girl with a motor mouth, can-do attitude, and knack for making others laugh. I dream of becoming a best selling novelist like Elizabeth Gilbert or Julie Powell (a girl can dream, right?), and love long road trips, a beautiful countryside, music, blogs, books, and all things vintage/thrift/antique/or homemade. I’m a Virgo, i.e. overly sensitive, emotional, and critical, and there’s no such thing as short and sweet in my world. I want to say and do it all. Mr. Brooch grounds me. I point where to go and he figures out the way. He’s a pragmatic fancy-pants who enjoys video games and movies. We both adore our mutt, Rocky, and spending time with our amazingly supportive family and friends. We’re planning a garden wedding with a formal reception with lots of whimsy and unique, Southern-inspired details.
