3 Tips from Jairius when it comes to YOUR wedding signage.
-
1. Set a Budget
Setting a clear budget is the first step in the journey to creating your dream wedding signage. Having a budget in mind allows us to work together effectively, ensuring that your vision aligns with your financial boundaries. It's essential to consider not only the design and creation of the signage but also factors like materials, size, and any additional on-site services. By establishing your budget upfront, you can make informed decisions and prevent any unexpected financial surprises down the road.
2. Find Your Inspiration
Finding inspiration is a crucial part of the creative process. Many couples come to our initial meeting with a baseline idea of what they want, often drawing from sources like Pinterest, bridal publications, or even personal interests. Sharing these inspirations with me is incredibly helpful, as it provides a starting point for our collaboration. It helps me understand your aesthetic preferences, theme, and overall vision for your wedding. Together, we can build upon these inspirations and tailor them to create truly personalized and unique signage that reflects your love story.
3. Book Early
Booking your custom wedding signage services early is a wise decision, especially if you have specific design ideas or a busy wedding season. Custom signage requires time for design, creation, and any necessary revisions. By booking well in advance, you secure your spot on my schedule and allow ample time for the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into each piece. This also ensures that we can accommodate any last-minute changes or additions seamlessly. Early booking not only alleviates stress but also guarantees that your wedding signage will be ready to make a statement on your big day.
Why White Lotus Lettering got into the wedding industry.
-
Getting into the wedding industry has been a deeply fulfilling journey for me as a creator. From the very beginning, I've been drawn to the world of weddings because it allows me to blend my passion for creativity with a profound sense of purpose. Weddings are not just events; they are a celebration of love, commitment, and the unique stories that bind two people together. As a designer, I wanted to contribute to these stories by crafting beautiful, personalized, and memorable pieces for couples on one of the most significant days of their lives. What truly captivates me about the wedding industry is the opportunity to bring visions to life. It's a realm where creativity knows no bounds, and every couple has a distinct vision for their special day. I thrive on the challenge of translating their ideas into tangible pieces. Moreover, being part of a couple's journey towards their happily ever after, witnessing the joy, and knowing that I've played a role in creating cherished memories is incredibly rewarding. It's the perfect fusion of my design skills and a heartfelt desire to make a difference in people's lives, making the wedding industry a natural and deeply fulfilling choice for me.

Words from Jairius about her favorite part of a wedding day.
-
You know what, I have to admit, the exchange of vows during the ceremony? That's probably my favorite part of a wedding. It's just so incredibly touching. Seeing the couple express their deep love and commitment to each other in front of everyone, it's genuinely moving. The sincerity and emotional significance of this moment always tug at the heartstrings. I’m such a softie, so I’ve never not cried, lol.
Last, but not least - Jairius sharing her experience with Haley Nyal Events.
