The decision to tie the knot signifies the start of an exciting new time in life, full of love and mutual support for you and your partner. It’s no wonder you immediately want to tell the world and start planning every last little detail. A wedding brochure serves both as a road map for the ceremony and a memorable souvenir of the day itself. Luckily, with photo editing apps, like PicsArt, designing a wedding brochure that reflects your style is a breeze.

Let’s delve into what you should include in your wedding brochure, covering five of the best templates to use, and how you can easily create the design yourself.

Elements of a Good Wedding Brochure

To design a good wedding brochure, you must know what to aim for. Typically, a good wedding brochure will feature:

A light or pastel color scheme

There’s a reason why the wedding season starts in late spring and lasts until early fall. Most people associate love and weddings with renewal and rebirth, so the color scheme of your brochure should reflect that.

An elegant, calligraphic typeface

At this point, you might have an intuitive understanding of what makes a suitable font for a wedding brochure. Aim for an elaborate-looking cursive, with thin strokes and an orderly, sophisticated style.

Your unique personality as a couple

What are your key qualities? Are you a power couple in the making, or laid-back nomads in love with nature? Don’t be afraid to be expressive in your wedding brochure’s design.

The story of your day

Tell your guests what exactly you have in store for them. They’ll have something to look forward to before the wedding and something to look back on, to reminisce about afterward.

What Content to Include in a Wedding Brochure?

Here’s a general idea of what content your wedding brochure should cover:

The date and time of the wedding

Typically mentioned on the first page next to the photo and the names of the happy couple, the date and the time of the wedding will remind guests about the memories made on your wedding day for years to come.

The roadmap of the day

This is the logistical part. Tell your guests the exact schedule of your wedding day, from the ceremony to the reception. Don’t forget to mention the venues and the names of all relevant people, such as the reception host, the parents of the bride and the groom, the best man, and the maid of honor.

High-quality photos of the couple

Most wedding brochures are brimming with romantic photos of the couple. Arrange a pre-wedding photoshoot with your wedding photographer. That way you’ll not only get beautiful photos together but also get a feel for how the photographer works ahead of the day itself, taking some of the pressure off when it arrives.

A section summarising your love story

If you’re planning a large wedding, some guests may not know much about your future spouse. A wedding brochure offers a great opportunity to share the story of how you met, what values and interests you share, and anything else you want guests to know.

Inspirational or humorous anecdotes

So much has been said about the topic of love, and yet, it’s inexhaustible. Each and every relationship and marriage dynamic is unique. Here’s an opportunity to philosophize and offer your take, be it lighthearted and amusing, or sentimental and serious.

The world of florals

Florals, both illustrated and in the form of gorgeous bridal bouquets, feature heavily in all wedding brochure designs. A floral aesthetic may just be what your brochure needs.

Love in black and white

Black and white photography is said to put emphasis on the emotional depth and authenticity of an image. Perhaps that’s why so many wedding brochures are in black and white.

Elegant minimalism

No distraction, just a beautiful minimalistic design letting guests know what’s coming up.

Focus on the details

A hand on the back or hands held together, two pairs of smiling eyes or a shoulder to lean on… Love is in the details.

A photo layout

A collage of three or four photos together, creating a lively, playful, and dynamic design.
