"Transform Your Profile Book into a Stylish 'Bridal Newspaper'"

I Want to Prepare a Stylish Bridal Newspaper＊

It seems that recently, more brides are turning their profile books into bridal newspapers＊

A bridal newspaper is an original paper item that conveys the message “We got married♡” on the day of the wedding, in the form of a newspaper.

The classic design with bold colors and an eye-catching look, reminiscent of a sports paper extra edition, is interesting. However, recently, the English newspaper-style design is absolutely stylish and trending right now＊

Using a restrained color palette and opting for monochrome or only using colors in the photos gives it a sophisticated feel.

A key point is to finish it with English only (avoiding Japanese on the cover)♩

In this article, we will introduce many stylish references and points you would want to imitate for an English newspaper-style bridal newspaper♡

How to Distribute and Timing for the Bridal Newspaper???

There are three patterns for distributing bridal newspapers:

① Distributing at the reception like place cards

② Placing them freely at the welcome space or reception

③ Setting them at each table

For patterns ① and ②, folding them and placing them in a basket adds a touch of elegance♩

An iron basket gives an antique feel＊

Rolling them up and placing them in a wooden basket gives a natural feel♡

When setting them at guest tables in advance, it’s standard to place them on top of the show plates＊

Since agate or Corbel tiles for place cards are often placed on the same show plate napkin, think carefully about their placement so that items do not overlap♩

Having visible photos brightens up the guest tables and looks lovely♡

What Are the Uses for the Bridal Newspaper???

Besides being read by guests, bridal newspapers have other uses too.

For example, framing them for decoration is one option.

As a photography prop, taking a photo with it as a couple leaves a lasting memory♡

When it’s time for guests to take them home and there’s no paper bag for gifts, preparing bags like this is stylish and convenient♩
