As summer wedding season draws near, many parents and close friends are looking for a truly meaningful gift: something that speaks from the heart, celebrates love, and lasts a lifetime.

If you’ve been invited to give a reading during the ceremony, you already know how powerful those words can be. Whether it’s a timeless passage like  1 Corinthians 13, a poetic favourite such as Sonnet 116, or the beautiful Apache Wedding Blessing, your chosen reading sets the tone for the couple’s vows and their life ahead together.

But what if those words could live on beyond the ceremony?  

What if they became more than a spoken moment—something the couple could treasure in their home, every single day?

Turn your wedding reading into a lasting gift

A personalised calligraphy wedding reading print is a unique and heartfelt way to commemorate a couple’s big day. These bespoke pieces transform the reading you shared, whether traditional, literary, spiritual or original, into elegant wall art.

Printed on high quality paper and hand lettered with care, each print becomes a keepsake the couple can hang in their home as a daily reminder of their vows and the loved ones who stood with them on their journey into marriage.

These prints are particularly popular with mothers and fathers of grooms or brides, who often choose to gift them as a special surprise after giving a reading. Close friends and siblings also find them to be a touching way to honour the couple and their shared memories of the day.

Classic readings that make beautiful prints

Here are a few of my favourites that are often chosen for wedding reading prints:

- 1 Corinthians 13 – “Love is patient, love is kind...”

  This timeless Bible verse is a favourite in both religious and secular ceremonies.

- The Apache Wedding Blessing – Rich in natural imagery and heartfelt sentiment, it speaks of unity, protection, and lasting love.

- Sonnet 116 by Shakespeare – A beautiful expression of steadfast love, perfect for literature lovers.

- Custom or Original Poems – For something truly personal, I can transform your own words, vows, or a poem written just for the couple into a one-of-a-kind keepsake.

Each print can be customised with the couple’s names and wedding date. Designs are elegant and understated, so these litle works of calligraphy art will work in any space and any home.
