About The Wedding Post
The Wedding Post pairs a heavy blackletter masthead with light, refined type everywhere else. Headlines are set in thin, widely spaced capitals, the body text is a graceful old-style serif, and your names appear in a flowing script. The contrast is the point: the masthead says newspaper, and everything underneath says wedding.
The front page
Below the masthead runs a slim strip with the date, "Special wedding edition" and your town, then a one-line headline across the full width. Almost everything else is photo: one large picture with your names written over it in white script and "are getting married!" in small capitals beneath. A single italic line at the foot of the page sums up your story in a sentence. Inside pages keep the same voice, with script headings such as "Our Story" and "Wedding Party" over clean serif text.
Which weddings it suits
Choose it when you have a photo you love and want it big. Darker, moody shots work especially well because the white script names stand out against them: a night-time engagement photo on grand stairs or under string lights is ideal. Busy, bright photos can fight the lettering, so look for some calm space near the bottom of the frame.
Printing and pairings
Because the photo is so large, image quality matters more here than almost anywhere else. Use the original from your phone or photographer rather than a screenshot; the editor shows the pixel size the photo spot needs. Large dark areas can look patchy on thin copy paper, so a heavier matte paper is worth it for this one. Its default front page is Full photo, and Tall portrait is a close alternative. Warm ivory paper gives it the look in our printed mockups, and an ink black accent keeps it classic. The Romantic & heartfelt or Classic & elegant writing tones fit it best.
