For the Traditionalist: Wedding Script Fonts

Script, cursive and handwritten fonts are firm favorites for wedding stationery, and with good reason. Able to give a romantic and elegant mood to designs, they also work beautifully for setting the names of the couple. 

From simple brush scripts to ornate calligraphy styles, discover our selection of the best wedding script fonts below.

Pro tip: Team a script or cursive font with a clean, minimal sans serif for a balanced font pairing. The romantic mood of a script font will be tempered and made modern and stylish with a simple sans serif like Magdelin or Liber.

1. Qindom

A simple and striking brush font which retains the legibility of text, Qindom is a hard-working and versatile script font that would work just as well for rustic invitations as more traditional and formal stationery.

6. Enriq Round Sans

This rounded sans serif has a hand-crafted style that lends it a cheerful and fashionable personality. Reminiscent of 1930s sans serif type styles, this font would also work beautifully for creating wedding logos or place settings.

If you adore the design styles of eras past or are perhaps planning a wedding with a historic theme, these vintage-flavored fonts will be sure to give an air of old-world romance to your wedding stationery. 

Pro tip: Vintage fonts can be given a more authentic feel by overlaying textures or printing your invitations onto more rustic and unrefined paper stock. Look for materials that add purposeful imperfections to your designs, such as grainy textures, discoloration or fluted edges, to maximise the vintage mood.
