Sign options for a wedding photo shoot
The use of various accessories, such as signs with inscriptions, flags, speech clouds, signs, helps to make truly unusual, bright and creative photographs. The history of their origin begins with comic books, where scenes with heroes in the pictures were accompanied by materialized thoughts or remarks. Photo attributes can be very diverse: with comic, romantic inscriptions, drawings, funny nicknames, in the form of glasses, lips, mustaches. These little things will help convey your mood, thoughts, feelings and words during the shoot.
Signs with inscriptions in English
The idea of using various accessories during holiday photography came to us from the West. There, not a single wedding ceremony is complete without such attributes. Therefore, in most cases, words in English are written on accessories. Particularly popular are the initials of the newlyweds, the inscriptions “Ms Mrs”, “Just Married”, “Love”. This paraphernalia can be used as a decoration detail for a celebration.
Speech bubbles for guests
The next idea for a wedding photo shoot is speech bubbles. This accessory is ordered and purchased in special stores. Speech clouds will help bring your photos to life and also make your guests more relaxed during the shoot. You can make such paraphernalia for a wedding photo shoot with your own hands. Choose any shape: heart-shaped, cloud-shaped. Look at the text below in the photographs or come up with it yourself.
Signs with a declaration of love for young people
For newlyweds, a wedding photo shoot is a very romantic, tender, touching moment. These are their first pictures where they act as spouses. Signs with beautiful, touching love declarations and romantic quotes are popular. You can come up with an idea for the design of such wedding paraphernalia yourself or use ready-made templates.
In the form of hearts, mustaches, lips and glasses
Staged photographs where newlyweds and guests are fooling around, using signs in the form of lips, glasses, mustaches, hats, are called wedding photo theater in a professional environment. This paraphernalia is common among young couples because it makes for interesting shots. A variety of signs can be used during the banquet. At Western wedding ceremonies, a photo booth and screen are prepared in advance for such photography. During breaks during the celebration, the photographer takes funny photos, which further entertains the guests.
With funny captions
A formal photo shoot will look more original and funnier if you add some zest to it, such as photo paraphernalia with comic inscriptions. Cards can be curly, in the form of clouds with humorous thoughts, funny comments. In some cases, inscriptions are made on streamers like a garland, which is held together or hung for decoration. Often, paraphernalia with comic inscriptions are made individually to order.

Construction of wooden signs
Now let's look at how to make wooden signs on which you can put the names of the newlyweds or their surnames. Such accessories will require skill and experience from the manufacturer, since you will have to work with an electric drill.
First, choose a suitable piece of wood and think about how it will be used. If you just hold it in your hands during shooting, then you don’t need to invent anything, but if you plan to hang it in the photo zone, then you need to use a drill to make a hole through which the rope will be threaded.

Next, use sandpaper to sand all surfaces of the sign. Now use acrylic matte paint to create a background of the color you like. Use a brush to paint one surface, leave it until completely dry and then paint the other side.
While the board is drying, write in beautiful letters the name of the young person or the surname of the newly formed family. Or you can write the bride's last name and the groom's last name, putting a plus sign between them. To do this, use a text editor on your computer. When you have made a suitable inscription, print it out.
When the paint on the board is dry, you need to decorate the accessory. Use a ruler and pencil to mark the placement of the words. Place tracing paper between the board and the printed sheet, circle the printed inscription, remove the tracing paper and paper - your inscription is ready.

Now use a thin brush and beautiful paint to paint over all the letters. In addition to words, you can put wedding symbols on the sign in the form of hearts , birds, butterflies or flowers.
Again, leave everything until completely dry. When the paint is dry, coat the product with clear varnish. Sign for wedding photography is ready
Signpost with an inscription for a wedding photo shoot
Original props for a wedding photo shoot - signs with inscriptions. Such accessories will not only complement the shooting, but will also lift the spirits of everyone present. Signboards can contain both humorous phrases and traditional inscriptions (Happiness, Love, Vows, Ceremony). They are made from boards, which are then installed around the event area.
Necessary materials
- boards of the required size;
- inkjet printer for printing blank inscriptions;
- wax paper;
- a sheet of thick cardboard;
- adhesive tape;
- art, painting brushes;
- acrylic paints in your favorite colors;
- White Spirit;
- sandpaper;
- plastic card (old unnecessary credit card).
Stages of creation
Before decorating and applying inscriptions, the wood must be prepared. Give the selected boards the desired shape: cut them in the form of a pointer with an arrow (or buy a ready-made blank in an art salon or craft store). Sand the surface with sandpaper to smooth out any irregularities. Degrease the wood with white spirit.
Next, you should print the selected inscription (in a mirror image). All graphic editors have this function.
It is recommended to print the inscription not on regular stationery paper, but on waxed paper. Since it is too thin and can wrinkle in the printer, it must first be secured to a sheet of cardboard, gluing the edges with adhesive tape.
Using a paint brush, apply a little water to the surface of the wood. Then attach the printed inscription blank to it. Make sure it is positioned exactly in the middle of the board.
We placed the paper with the inscription on the board with the ink side down. Then you need to carefully run a plastic card (or the back of a spoon) over the wax paper so that the outline of the word is imprinted on the wood.
But since black ink was used when printing, the inscription will be difficult to read on the board. Therefore, using an art brush with acrylic paint, outline the outlines of the letters.
Completely fill in the letters with the color of your choice.
Flower-plate
At a wedding celebration, bright accessories that reflect the essence of the holiday look great. These can be signs that copy flowers with the wedding date on them. You can make the products with your own hands, spending no more than 30 minutes on each of them. All you need: 12 sheets of colored paper, a glue gun, thick cardboard, skewers and various decorations (inscriptions, butterflies, numbers, doves).
The flower-tablet is made like this: first, fold a piece of paper in the form of an accordion and glue them together. Form the accordions into a circle and glue them together again. You should end up with a design that resembles a round fan . Attach a decorative piece to the center of the flower. It is best to use a circle with a date printed on it. Glue a similar element on the other side. Next, attach the skewer, and the original sign is made.

Wedding banner
An interesting wedding banner can become an original decoration for an event. Often it is installed in front of the entrance to the hall. Guests entering can take a photo in front of the poster. If the newlyweds plan to post pictures on Instagram , then the banner can be inscribed with a hash tag, which will be placed by the owners of the application under the frame and the newlyweds can easily find all the available photos using it. The banner contains inscriptions displaying the names of the spouses, their wedding date, the motto of the banquet, or the signatures of the husband and wife.

Photos with signs at a wedding
The signs and inscriptions that young people use for a photo shoot can have a touching, funny or official look. Newlyweds are advised to decide on their preferred style before the ceremony and banquet.
Stages of creation
- Use a professional marking board or a regular ruler to correctly mark the dimensions of the workpieces. Having decided on the desired size, draw the shapes with a simple pencil on cardboard. Then you need to cut out the blanks with a sharp stationery knife. We will need two parts for each letter, so we need to make them in two copies at once.
- We measure the length of each side of the workpiece around the perimeter. We cut out the sides: the thickness can be any, we will make them 5 cm thick. To do this, we cut out cardboard strips of the required length, 7 cm wide, leaving a centimeter allowance for hemming on each side. Having folded the allowances with your hands, we glue them to one side of the base with double-sided tape, forming the sides.
- We apply the second side of the letter to the side and also glue it with tape.
- We use regular adhesive tape to secure the part in random places for reliability.
- We decorate the resulting blank according to our own taste and desire.
A simple and quick way to design a blank is to attach it to beautiful paper (you can use bright wallpaper for this purpose), trace the shape with a pencil, adding a few centimeters on each side for folds. Cut the paper with scissors and glue it to the cardboard blank with PVA glue. Allow the glue to dry, then additionally decorate the facade with lace, beads, pearls, and artificial flowers.
Common options for words in capital letters for a wedding photo shoot: love, married, wedding, happiness, love, happy, just married, amore, amour. The phrases “I agree”, “Forever”, “Yes, I do”, “Family” also look beautiful in the pictures. Inscriptions with equation signs look elegant, for example, “Masha + Sasha = Love” or the inscriptions “Husband” and “Wife” with arrows facing the heroes of the photo shoot.
