When Olivia and Matthew Gilbert tied the knot in Brisbane, they wanted their wedding décor to reflect both elegance and fun. To achieve this, they chose a custom neon wedding sign that transformed their reception space into a glowing celebration of love.
The Venue
The Gilberts celebrated their big day at the W Brisbane, one of the city’s most stylish riverside hotels. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Brisbane River and a modern ballroom design, the couple wanted a wedding feature that would feel both glamorous and personal.
The Couple’s Brief
Olivia and Matthew approached us at Neon Lanes with a vision for their reception backdrop:
✨ A glowing sign that read “The Gilberts” in chic cursive font
✨ A cool white neon glow to match the hotel’s sleek, modern interiors
✨ Large enough (2 metres wide) to be the centrepiece behind their bridal table
They wanted something sophisticated that would tie in with their black-tie theme, while still creating that “wow” factor for guests as they entered the room.
The Custom Neon Creation
Our design team created a bold and elegant custom neon sign for their Brisbane wedding, mounted on clear acrylic for a clean, floating look. On the night, the sign was hung on a sheer white backdrop adorned with orchids and soft draping — making it the perfect setting for both formal speeches and candid photos.
The moment the ballroom lights dimmed, the neon sign lit up the space, adding a touch of modern glamour that wowed guests.
The Big Day
The Gilberts’ sign became the most photographed detail of the evening. From their first dance under the glow of their neon to group shots with friends, the sign set the scene for countless memories. Guests were so impressed that several asked where they could order their own wedding signs in Brisbane for upcoming celebrations.
After the wedding, Olivia and Matthew brought their sign home and now proudly display it above their bed — a glowing reminder of the day they became “The Gilberts.”
