About The Newlywed Times

The Newlywed Times is modern luxury on newsprint. The masthead is set in fine capitals with sharp thick-and-thin strokes, the sort you see on a fashion magazine, held between two thin rules. A small monogram of your initials sits above it, with your town and the date in the corners. Script is used sparingly, mostly for your names.

The front page

Almost the whole page is one tall photo. Your names sit across the top of it in white script, with "are getting married!" in small capitals beneath. A slim line at the foot of the page carries a short italic note and "Priceless". There are no columns on the front, which is exactly why it looks so calm. Inside, the pages use the same fine capitals with an easy serif for reading.

Which weddings it suits

Choose it for black-tie, city and evening weddings, or any couple whose style leans minimal. It is a natural fit for the just-married edition: the sample uses a getaway shot of the couple in a vintage convertible, with "Just married!" under their names.

Printing and pairings

Because the photo covers so much of the page, start with the sharpest original you have; the editor shows the pixel size it needs. Darker photos with space at the top give the white names room to read. Large dark areas can look patchy on thin paper, so a heavier matte paper is worth it here. Its default front page is Tall portrait, and Full photo works too if you'd like a headline above the picture. Bright white or Warm ivory with an ink black accent keeps it restrained. Pair it with the Classic & elegant writing tone.
