Chic Linen Signage Ideas for Your Wedding Day

Let’s be honest, wedding signage can get expensive fast. Hiring a calligrapher or painting directly onto wood or acrylic is beautiful, but it doesn’t always fit the budget or timeline. That’s where linen signage comes in. It’s chic, textural, and totally customizable. Plus, it’s surprisingly simple to DIY!

You still get that elevated, intentional look, but it’s easier on your wallet and timeline. Whether you're going for modern elegance or rustic charm, fabric signage works with pretty much every style.

How to Design Linen Signage Yourself

If you're feeling creative, you can totally design your linen signage on your own. Tools like Canva, Illustrator, or even InDesign are great for laying out your text and graphics. Just keep your fonts readable and your design clean — simple usually looks best when printed on fabric.

Once your design is ready, export it as a high-res PDF. Then, upload it to a site like Bags of Love to print directly onto fabric. It's super easy and their turnaround is pretty fast.

my favorite fabric choices

After trying a bunch of materials for my own clients’ weddings, I’ve narrowed it down to a few favorites. These give the signage structure, texture, and that extra touch of elegance:

• Woven Canvas (8.9 oz): A go-to for a more matte, grounded feel. It holds its shape well and works with most signage sizes.

• Suede: Adds a soft, luxurious texture. Looks amazing for indoor setups or romantic evening weddings.

• Crushed Velvet: Super luxe and catches light beautifully. If you're going for drama or vintage vibes, this one's a winner.

These fabrics drape nicely when hung, and you can style them with a rod, clips, or even pin them to a display wall.
