Gone are the days when a wedding order of service was just a simple itinerary of your big day. These days, it’s a fusion of fun and fancy design, making it the perfect keepsake for your guests to take home.
The purpose of the modern-day order of service is still very much the same as it was– to keep your guests in the loop during the marriage ceremony, and other civil or religious ceremonies. But the look, feel and quality of the booklet has advanced to a whole new level, with people getting more and more creative with design.
To give you a taste of what we mean, we’ve rounded up a handful of drool-worthy order of service designs, each one defying convention to sit pretty in a league of their own…
This quirky, illustrated timeline design provides an at-a-glance break down of the day’s events. The idea may be simple, but it’s oh-so effective! This quirky wedding stationery idea is right up our street, and extremely trendy.
