Over on my sister site, I’m sharing the tutorial for my Photo & Quote Paper Bag Wedding Luminaries! But I wanted to give FontCrafts readers exclusive dibs on the downloadable “Let your Love Shine Bright” quote art used on the bags!

Click on the image below or click here to download the high resolution version to use in on your luminary or in your own artwork! I used the fonts Bebas and Thirsty Rough to make this art!  Those are the two fonts I plan to your for my wedding as well.

Now that I’m engaged, I’ve started to look at wedding DIY ideas and typographic-centric crafts are all the rage for the big day!  Over on the Ruffled Blog, I found these fun and cheerful examples of reception ideas incorporating type at a Not Wedding Event in Atlanta. I love the tone on tone color usage. These ideas look relatively easy to execute (spray paint for the win!).

I love paper banners too!  I think these would be relatively easy to execute as well.  How fun is the use of paper for a big statement too?

The use of old vintage books on the tables also is a nice typographic touch!

Event designer David Stark brought the Metropolitan Opera’s 125th Anniversary Gala to life with the help of an inventive concept using vintage opera graphics.  What an eye-popping display that looks like a million bucks!  The graphics take center stage  wrapped around lampshades and luminous glass jars.  Seems like something  easy and economical to execute for a dinner party or wedding reception. Absolutely genius David!
