How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Sign Material for New England Weather

New England is famously beautiful—and famously unpredictable. Whether you’re planning a cozy fall wedding or a summer celebration by the coast, your signage needs to look gorgeous and hold up against rain, wind, or sunshine.

Here are some of the best material options for wedding signs, with a focus on durability and style:

Common Materials & Why They Work:

• Wood: Warm, rustic, and sturdy. Great for outdoor weddings and can be sealed for weather resistance.

• Acrylic / Plexiglass: Sleek and modern, acrylic signs resist moisture and are easy to clean.

• Glass or Window Panes: Elegant and reflective; protect with a backing if outdoors.

• Mirrors: Adds depth and sparkle, ideal for indoor or covered venues.

• Chalkboards: Perfect for a vintage or boho vibe; just be mindful of moisture. Ideal for indoor or covered venues as well.

Uncommon & Creative Options:

• Candleholders: Use as unique table number holders or small signs.

• Seashells: Perfect for beach weddings, especially as escort cards or favors.

• Fruit (Lemons, Oranges, etc.): Adds a playful, fresh touch for summer or garden weddings.

• Slate or Tile: Elegant and heavy, great for keepsake signage or food labels.

• Leaves & Palm Fronds: Natural, bold, and perfect for tropical or outdoor settings.
