What Goes Into Creating Custom Wedding Signage? | WDP Ep 83

Custom wedding signage is about so much more than welcome signs and seating charts—but what actually goes into creating these one-of-a-kind installations? In this episode of Wedding Day Podcast, Iron Diamond Media Owner Sonja Babich is joined by Washington Wedding Day Editorial Director Alexis Sanabria for a conversation with Tamara Berndt, owner of Seattle-based On the Wall Design Studio. Known for transforming wedding visions into immersive guest experiences, Tamara shares how she built her business from a creative side hustle into a thriving installation and signage studio. She takes listeners behind the scenes of the design process, explaining how inspiration boards evolve into custom-built pieces while balancing aesthetics with venue logistics, transportation, engineering and installation. The conversation also explores the realities couples rarely see on wedding day—from navigating tight doorways and unexpected venue limitations to making last-minute pivots that guests never know happened. Tamara also reflects on the challenges of entrepreneurship, balancing motherhood with a growing business and the rewarding relationships she's built within the wedding industry. 🎧 Listen to learn: ✨ What goes into creating custom wedding signage and installations ✨ How inspiration boards become one-of-a-kind event designs ✨ Why logistics are just as important as creativity ✨ Common wedding day challenges signage professionals solve behind the scenes ✨ How to collaborate with your signage vendor for the best results ✨ Why custom installations create memorable guest experiences 🔗 Subscribe for more wedding planning advice, expert interviews and behind-the-scenes conversations from the wedding industry's leading professionals. 📌 Connect with On the Wall Design Studio: Website: https://www.onthewalldesignstudio.com/ Instagram: @onthewalldesignstudio 📌 Follow Washington Wedding Day: Website: https://washingtonweddingday.com Instagram: @washingtonweddingday 📌 Produced by Dan Riggs Films Website: https://danriggsfilms.com/ Instagram: @danriggsfilms This week's topics: wedding signage, wedding installations, custom wedding décor, guest experience, wedding planning, Seattle wedding vendor, wedding design, seating charts, welcome signs, On the Wall Design Studio What's one custom detail you're including to make your wedding feel uniquely yours?
