The Richards’ Vision for Their Wedding Neon Sign
When Laura and Michael Richards planned their Melbourne wedding, they wanted a feature that would tie their modern styling together and create a standout backdrop for photos. Their solution was a custom neon wedding sign that lit up the room and became one of the most memorable touches of their big day.
The Venue
The Richards celebrated at The Button Factory in Cheltenham, a venue that combines rustic warehouse charm with contemporary design. With polished concrete floors, exposed beams, and plenty of greenery, it was the perfect blank canvas for their styling vision.
The Couple’s Brief
Laura and Michael came to Neon Lanes with a simple but impactful request:
✨ A sign that read “The Richards” in flowing cursive
✨ A soft warm white glow to complement their muted colour palette of beige, sage, and blush
✨ A width of 2 metres to make a statement behind their bridal table
They wanted something bold enough to stand out in the large space while still feeling elegant and timeless.
The Custom Neon Creation
Our design team created a custom neon wedding sign for The Richards with clear acrylic backing for a floating effect. On the day, their stylist hung the sign on a frame wrapped with cascading greenery and pastel-toned florals.
As the evening progressed, the glow of the neon sign added warmth to the industrial-style venue, softening its edges and creating the perfect photo backdrop.
The Big Day
Throughout the night, the wedding sign was the focal point of the reception. Guests gathered in front of it for selfies and group photos, while the professional photographer captured stunning portraits of the Richards framed by their glowing name.
After the wedding, Laura and Michael brought their sign home, where it now hangs in their hallway — a daily reminder of the night they became “The Richards.”
