Fonts for Weddings

As nerdy as this may sound, typography is a passion of mine. I love fonts and have way too many. It's probably because of my pre-photography career as a graphic designer. I'm signed up for the e-mail list for so many different font foundries, so while some women might anxiously be waiting for sale e-mails from J. Crew or Banana Republic, I'm the one waiting for new font releases.

I wanted to offer some ideas for some font combinations for those DIY types who might want to make signage or other projects for their weddings!

This combo of Minion and Bombshell would be great on an invitation. Minion is a classic serif font that I especially love if styled in small caps. Bombshell is one of my favorite fonts ever because it looks hand-drawn.

The table card features another one of my favorite serif fonts, Warnock, paired with the frilly Affair. Affair is an incredibly diverse font with lots of fun and feminine qualities!

I'm in love with the idea of song request cards. Not only can they look great on the table but your guests can get involved. For this card I chose fonts with a little more personality. Franklin Gothic is one of my go-to sans serif fonts because I think it has spunk. For the script font, I haven't found a 'cheeky' fontI like quite as much as Wisdom Script. It's easy to read but not boring!
