Your wedding is really all about the words you, your partner, and your loved ones say. The promises you make, the toasts you share, the vows you take. And planning all that takes a lot of work! It involves hours (and hours) of creating the ceremony with your officiant, scouring the internet for the perfect readings and verses, and searching Spotify for the songs that feel right for the first dance, father-daughter dance, and the rest of the night. So why not put all that hard work on display? Sure, your guests will hear the songs and the vows and the readings, but what if they could see them too?
That’s where this wedding trend comes in. It involves beautiful calligraphy and printed quotes on all kinds of wedding decor! Think about your vows scrolled on your cake, that meaningful verse written on the ceremony backdrop, song lyrics up above the bar, and more. Keep reading to see 10 for our favorite ways to put your love notes on display. Whether you use a sonnet, song lyrics, or original verse, we can’t wait to see how you showcase this sentimental (and beautiful!) trend on your big day. And more importantly, we can’t wait to see what you have to say!

It showcases Alfred Tennyson’s famous words, “If I had a flower for every time I thought of you…I could walk through my garden forever.” (How perfect for a garden party wedding!)
