Whether you choose to be accompanied by a parent, multiple loved ones or opt to fly solo, one of the most exciting parts of a wedding ceremony is the moment when you get to walk down the aisle. Not only is your soon-to-be-spouse waiting on the other side, but all of your guests get to see how beautiful and happy you look as you glide past them.  One sweet way to let everyone know to get ready for your entrance is with a ”Here Comes the Bride sign that announces your impending arrival.

Similar to a welcome sign,  this announcement sign certainly isn’t a necessity for your aisle walk, but it can make for a fun addition to your ceremony and overall wedding decor—especially if an adorable ring bearer or flower girl (or even pet!) is the one who carries the sign down the aisle before you.

“A ‘Here Comes the Bride’ sign is a great alternative to a flower girl basket or ring bearer pillow,” especially if the kids are too young to toss petals or hold rings, says Emma Arendoski, CEO of the wedding blog, Emmaline Bride

What to Look for in a “Here Comes the Bride” Sign

Consider your overall wedding decor 

These signs vary significantly in color, design, and even shape, so take some time to think about the vibe you want to cultivate. Many signs tend towards a more casual, laid-back look that goes with an outdoor or rustic wedding. But they can also work with a more formal ceremony if the design is more minimal in color and materials.

Customization

Many couples opt for signs that can be personalized to match their wedding colors. There are several sites that allow for further customization based on the relationship of the attendant to the bride, the couple, or incorporating their names or monogram.

Weight and size

It’s also important to take note of the sign’s weight and size to ensure it’s light enough for young attendants to carry, notes Arendoski. In general, most options out there are lightweight, but make sure to do a test run with your flower girl or ring bearer first.

FAQ
  • When should a “Here Comes the Bride” sign be used?

    Most frequently, according to Arendoski, “the sign is carried down the aisle by the flower girl or the ring bearer in the procession immediately preceding the bride before the grand entrance.”

  • How much should a “Here Comes the Bride” sign cost?

    Prices will vary, but you can typically expect to shell out about $20 for these types of signs, says Arendoski. The more elaborate the design, of course, the costlier it will be, but it’s rare for this décor to be truly expensive.
