June has arrived and so has wedding season! With so many couples having put off their 2020 nuptials in the hopes of brighter days ahead, 2021 is shaping up to be one of the busiest vow-making years to date. Just like relationships, no two weddings are the same. A little bit of each partner's personality comes out in the choices they make for the event and its decorations, so why not break out the creativity for your special day? Here are six fabric-themed ways to impress your friends and family as you tie the knot, both at the wedding and reception!

1) Fabric Wedding Standing Banner

The photo ops for your big day should be as unique as the day itself! Why not have a custom fabric banner available for those guest photos? The sky's the limit with what you could feature on it: the first date story, a favorite shared poem, a list of fun facts about the couple, let your imagination run free! Sure you could do it with paper, but fabric is the way to go if you want it to look truly striking and have a lasting memento of the event for years to come. Plus, your friends won't have to wonder "whose wedding was this" while looking through the photos later when they have the banner's details in plain sight!

2) Custom Throw Blankets for Outdoor Weddings

There's nothing more romantic than a twilight wedding, right? It's almost poetic as the sun sets and the happy couple start a new life together. It's darn near perfect... or at least it would be if your guests weren't getting a chill in the night air! The elegant solution to this is having a custom throw blanket as a gift for your guests, keeping them warm not only as they keep you company in your finest moment but for any cold nights to come as well. Just like the standing banner, you can customize this any way you want to, and never be afraid to let your personality shine through in the design.

3) Custom Pocket Squares for the Gents

Since most weddings have a uniform color palette for the bridesmaids, why not have some custom pocket squares for the groomsmen to tie their looks together as well? From you and your significant other's initials to the special day's date, there are plenty of great ways to customize them to your heart's content. After all, the only thing that makes the man more than a suit is one well-themed to the affair!

4) Fabric Reception Table Runners

Guide your guests to their reception table in style with a custom fabric table runner sporting the number! We all know what happens to paper on reception tables: every liquid in the world manages to fall on it within a few minutes of the guests being seated. Wet, wilted paper is not the kind of thing we want to see in the background of every one of the photographer's shots, is it? Fabric solves this problem and is still capable of being laundered when the inevitable glass of wine gets knocked over onto it by your favorite in-law. Don't miss this easy way to bring class to your nuptials!

5) Use Leather Luggage Tags as Guest Place Cards

Globetrotting couples can bring their love of travel right to their guests' seats with cute bespoke leather luggage tags as table place cards. What better ice breaker for guests to get to know each other than to swap travel stories or dream destinations too? In our modern world where reducing clutter has become a key part of a return to simplicity, this is a functional wedding gift as well, as there’s always room for a quality luggage tag to use on their next vacation. Your family and friends came along for this part of your life's trip, be a part of their next trip in return!

6) Custom Cloth Reception Napkins

It might seem counterintuitive to design something that will be used to wipe your guests' mouths of all the amazing food you're serving them, though napkins can be yet another great canvas on which to showcase your unique personality. Monogramming isn't an uncommon approach, though why not feature an entirely new design all your own? Your passion for the beach, a favorite city, a beloved book, or anything else that speaks to you can find its way on to your reception's napkins. These unique pieces will be yet another valued (and functional) keepsake for the friends and family lucky enough to know someone as thoughtful and creative as you!

On that special day you will surely never forget, there are infinite ways to make it just as memorable for your guests as they celebrate this important milestone in your journey. If you find yourself needing a little help to bring your unique idea for your wedding to life, whether it's the bridesmaid dresses, custom fabric decorations, or something entirely your own creation, Edgington Studio is here to help. Ultimately, the bond between you and your loved one is what matters most, though if you can add a little fun along the way with ideas like these, it can make the journey even more exciting. We hope these tips inspire you to really go all out for this magical time in your life, and the greatest way to win at weddings is to have it your way, all the way!
