What's In a Name
A unique photographic pop art is popping up in all manner of wedding accessories. Taking every day images found in homes, along streets and out in nature, photographers are taking these images and turning them into unusual stylized letters. Once taken these stylish alphabet letters can then be combined into a collage that works together to form an equally unusual name plate.
Perfect for a unique look on your wedding invitations where the photos can be used to represent your combined monogram, they are also a great way to create stunning centerpieces when they are used to designate your reception table names.
Using these one-of-a-kind letters, you can also create a personalized name plate of your married name, framed or outlined with your first names and your wedding date that can sit in a place of honor at the entrance to your reception or at your guest book table. After the wedding is said and done, it also makes a wonderful keepsake that can hang in your home.
For guests in attendance at your wedding, depending on your numbers, you may even want to take the photos yourself, and use them to create favored name plates of all your invited guests. A special one-of-a-kind favor that though time consuming would be little in terms of cost, and would stand out amongst any wedding favors received before it. Make them small and place them on photo mats, or make them large and frame them, either way your guests will appreciate this unique gift.
Once it is time to send out your thank you notes a stylized photo-alphabet Thank You can get your message home. Simply have a photograph of you and your new spouse taken in your wedding clothes, holding a blank sheet of paper, and add in your photo collaged Thank You after the fact. Or if time permits have the Thank You created beforehand and hold the actual sign. An excellent way to tie in the many different ways you have used this design element throughout your wedding accessories from invitations to decorations.
If you're looking for a unique design for your stationery needs that doubles as a decorative accessory and wedding favor, look to photo-alphabet designs and have your guests guessing what's in the name.
