Wedding Neon Signs

LED Wedding Neon Signs for Receptions & Backdrops

A neon sign turns a plain wall into the spot everyone remembers. It becomes the backdrop for your first photos as a married couple, your guests' group shots and the photo booth line, so one sign ends up in more wedding pictures than almost anything else you buy.

Light-up wedding signs also do a lot with very little. One glowing phrase or couple's name adds personality to the venue without cluttering the rest of your décor, and it looks just as good in candlelight as it does on the dance floor.

Wedding Neon Sign Ideas

Not sure what your sign should say? These are the designs couples choose most:

• Romantic phrases: Better Together, Let Love Glow, Happily Ever After, LOVE.
• Couple signs: Mr & Mrs, your first names, or your initials with a heart.
• Last name signs: your new family name, sometimes with the wedding date underneath.
• Engagement and bridal shower: Marry Me, Will You Marry Me?, Bride to Be.
• Hashtag signs: your wedding hashtag, so guests tag their photos.

Any of these can be made as a custom neon sign in your own font and color.

Custom Wedding Name & Last Name Signs

A personalized wedding name sign is the most popular choice because it works twice: first as your reception backdrop, then as home décor for years afterward. Build yours with your names, last name, initials, wedding date or a phrase that means something to you, then choose the font, color and size to match your flowers and venue.

Warm white and soft pink suit most wedding palettes and photograph well against greenery. Brighter colors like blue or purple work best when you want the sign to be the boldest thing in the room.

What Size Neon Sign for a Wedding?

Choose the size by where the sign will hang. A good rule of thumb: the sign should span about one-third to one-half of the usable width of your backdrop, so there's still space for flowers or greenery around it.

Measure the backdrop you'll actually use, not the whole venue wall. Longer names and script fonts also need more width to stay readable from across the room and in photos.

Ordering & Setup Tips

• Order early. Custom wedding signs take 3–5 days to produce plus 1–2 weeks to ship. Order at least four weeks before the wedding so you have time to test it.
• Plan for power. Signs plug into a standard outlet. Ask your venue where outlets are, and bring an extension cord if the backdrop is freestanding.
• Hang it securely. Most couples attach the sign to a flower wall frame, arch or backdrop stand with hooks, chain, zip ties or clear fishing line. Our neon sign hanging guide walks through each method.
• Outdoor wedding? Choose a waterproof build. It ships with an IP67-rated adapter for garden, patio and tented receptions.
• Dim it for photos. The included remote dimmer lets you lower the glow so faces don't wash out in pictures.

Built to Last Beyond the Big Day

Voltleds wedding signs are made from flexible silicone LED neon on 6mm clear acrylic. You get the look of classic glass neon, but lighter, cooler to the touch and far less fragile to move between venues. They run on 12V at about 8W per meter, and the LEDs are rated for 50,000 hours.

After the wedding, move your sign to the bedroom, living room or home bar, or bring it back out for anniversaries.
