About The Wedding Wire
The Wedding Wire drops the blackletter and the ornaments altogether. Its masthead is a tall, condensed sans serif in capitals that runs the full width of the page, and the headlines use the same narrow, punchy letters. The body text is a clean, modern sans that reads like a well-designed news site. Your names are the one exception, written in a light script so the page still feels like a wedding.
The front page
A thin strip under the masthead holds a short tagline, "Special wedding edition" and the date. The page then splits: a stacked headline, your names, a bold one-sentence summary and the front-page story on the left, and a tall photo on the right. Along the bottom, a light grey band lists the essentials in three boxes, When, Where and First up, with the ceremony time. Guests get the facts at a glance.
Which weddings it suits
It suits modern and minimal weddings, city lofts and galleries, and anyone who likes design that stays out of the way. It gives the story more room on the front page than most designs, so it is a good choice if your how-we-met story deserves to be read.
Printing and pairings
Sans type and plain rules hold up well on any printer and at every size. Its default front page is Modern; Big headline makes a good announcement version. Bright white paper keeps it crisp, and a navy or sage accent adds a little color without breaking the clean look. The Funny & playful or Classic & elegant writing tones both suit it.

Questions couples ask
Is The Wedding Wire too plain for a wedding?
The script names and a good photo stop it feeling corporate. If you want more decoration later, switch design and your text follows.
What photo works best on The Wedding Wire?
A tall, portrait-shaped photo, since it sits beside the story on the right. Candid shots look especially natural here.
