The functional and stylish signage you display at your wedding is an essential part of any wedding. Shows not only convey important information about your event, but also enhance your aesthetic. Wedding bar signage, in particular, details the drinks you will be serving during a cocktail party and sets the mood for that stage of the celebration through creative shapes, patterns, patterns, colors and fonts.
The possibilities for animating your drink station signage are truly endless. First, you can use the type of material to set the mood and define the place, whether it’s a wooden sign for a rustic rustic theme or Aztec-inspired fabrics for an outdoor camping wedding. Playing with different shapes will also add some fun to your cocktail hour. Imagine a semi-circle of a modern wedding, or a wave of vows exchanged on the beach. To further improve the overall impression, experiment with different fonts. Arrange a romantic affair? Choose complex cursive fonts. Planning a minimalist party? Try boldly.
There are also many ways to personalize your bar sign. Show off your fellow initiates by drawing a picture of your pet, or show off your artistic talents by drawing your own illustrations. Once you’ve decided on a design, come up with unique ways to express your wine, beer, and cocktails to create a one-of-a-kind arrangement. Use a pun as an introduction or come up with a creative name for your signature drink.
If you still don’t know how to start drinking, we’ve put together 17 drink menu ideas for every type of event. Keep scrolling to see wedding sign ideas that are guaranteed to wow your guests.
There is no doubt that your pets are VIPs who deserve special treatment, even if they don’t join your celebrations. Pay tribute to your furry friend by asking the artist to create a custom illustration for them to match the signature cocktail of your choice. You can even name your drink after your favorite four-legged animal. To go the extra mile, print your invitations, ceremony programs, cocktail napkins, and menu cards with a pattern.
You can also use art to set the look if the décor is the center of the celebration. For a mountain or forest wedding, include a sketch of the trees around the venue. Place the cocktail menu in a wooden frame and place the whole setting on the wooden bar to highlight the materials found in natural landscapes.
While most wedding bar signs are designed as rectangles or squares, choose other shapes to hint at your aesthetic or theme. If you say yes at the beach – whether it’s the Turks and Caicos or Southern California – channel the beach setting by listing your liquid refreshment on a wave sign. Color the menu blue to reflect the ocean.
Arranging a colorful holiday? Display your signature cocktails, wines and beers on vibrant panels. Choose a hue from your color palette as the basis for your menu and write the elements in white for contrast and readability. We love this pale pink color for a spring or summer wedding. By using a bold shade for the background, you don’t need an extra design to make a statement.
One of the best ways to celebrate this new chapter as honeymooners is to create a custom badge that includes your initials and your partner’s initials. Your bar menu is the perfect canvas on which to proudly place your monogram. For a modern or minimalist look, opt for black on a white background. Add this sign to your other paper products—from save dates to form numbers—as a recurring theme.
Who said that the basis of a cocktail menu has to be limited to paper or plastic? At Madeleine Thomset and Mikell Worms’ wedding at a campsite in Oregon, the couple displayed their drink collection on a board that was nailed to Aztec-print fabric. Alternative materials and patterns playfully hint at their organic themes and backgrounds.
To give your guests a visual idea of your refreshment options, sketch out each signature cocktail. Ask an illustrator to draw your drinks, including decorations and glasses. These masterpieces will not only add personality to your cocktail hour, but will also make it easier for friends and family to make decisions.
Using an acrylic sign is a chic way to announce your holiday sip. With a transparent surface, the type will stand out, so think about ornate calligraphy and bold typography. While plexiglass is perfect for contemporary weddings, its sheer nature makes it a versatile choice for any type of aesthetic.
Since flowers are an integral part of any couple’s big day, why not decorate your bar menu with them? Place your alcoholic drinks in the center of the logo and highlight them with floral illustrations around the perimeter. Incorporate the same flowers and hues into your bar decor, centerpieces and bouquets. This floral style sign is an elegant choice for a garden evening or warm weather wedding where the focus is on the foliage.
You don’t need complex or dramatic hues to make a lasting impression. A simple white logo in a gold frame is always classy and sophisticated, especially for a modern neutral wedding. Since Santa Lopez and Troy Davis got married in an old monastery in Miami, they wanted this place to be the main attraction. Therefore, they use a metallic shade to complement the local environment.
Instead of a flat, one-dimensional design, different shapes and materials are layered on top of each other to enhance the visual appeal of a cocktail party. A round signature cocktail menu on a checkered background will add depth to any bar. For a retro wedding, bold graphics and vibrant colors will bring your theme to life.
While the cocktail menu sign is quite eye-catching on its own, the rising backlight will make it even more inviting. Placing a light source at the base of the sign works best with acrylic surfaces as it will bring any artwork or calligraphy to life. We recommend that you flip the switch late in the evening, when it gets dark in the reception area, so that all attention is focused on the bar.
Another impact-resistant alternative to plexiglass is mirror materials. By arranging “his” and “her” cocktails on reflective discs, the details surrounding them also shine – be it a tile or a floral arrangement. Separate your signature drink menu from your general liquor selection with two separate logos to explore a variety of designs.
In addition to color, shape, and pattern, the font you choose can set the tone for your cocktail hour. This pub sign for the wedding of Kelsey Quickstad and Michael Smith not only combines different fonts for a unique effect, but also demonstrates the power of the layout. Here, bubble letters are drawn in the outlines of the couple’s two signature cocktails. If you have an artistic hand, you can even sketch your own font.
Looking for an easy way to reference your tropical theme? Incorporate palm leaves into your bar menu design. For a subtle inclusion, choose a white base with a few sketches of tropical plants. For a general design, choose a background with a pattern of palm leaves. To pay tribute to the nature around you, make a sign out of wood. A bamboo bar with brass fixtures and citrus fruits will help convey the theme of the home.
For outdoor vows, look for beautiful moments in nature to inspire your bar menu design. Caitlin McGee and Patrick Woodall came up with a dreamy aesthetic that captures the California sunset, so their signature cocktail logo depicts the time of day when the sun disappears. On their signage, the orange circle represents the sunset under the pink and brown woodland design of Yosemite National Park.
If you’re looking for an alternative to the traditional rectangular shape, consider creating a semicircle for your logo. This arched design is perfect for a modern or glamorous wedding. Choose a neutral base if you want a flower arrangement nearby to grab attention.
