Wedding Wares: The Simple Stencil Review

As a bride-to-be, I thought it would be fun to chronicle my journey in wedding planning and share some of my bridal product picks with you. A wedding can be an overwhelming experience to plan because of the limitless options. What color should the flowers be? What kind of ties should the groomsmen wear? Should we give out mints or bubbles for our favors? Do we even need favors? Wedding Wares is my new column dedicated to everything you need to say “I Do” in style – and without turning into Bridezilla!

Jai and I got engaged one year ago, but we’re still in the early stages of wedding planning. I’ve been waiting all my life to plan my big, fabulous dream wedding – I used to sketch ideas for bridesmaid dresses when I was a child – so I really want to enjoy the process. To me, picking out invitations, coordinating colors, and all those other details are exciting to think about. I refuse to rush the process, because I don’t want to be cheated out of any of the fun!

One of those fun details is picking out decor items. I don’t have a venue selected yet, so I haven’t purchased any major pieces, but I have picked up a few small items that will work regardless of my final decor theme. So when The Simple Stencil offered me the chance to review one of their vinyl wedding decorations, I knew it was a perfect fit.

The Simple Stencil offer a variety of vinyl lettering and wedding monograms that can be applied to walls, windows, and more. The piece I chose to review was this “Welcome To Our Wedding” stencil, customized with our names at the bottom:

There are three transfers included in the kit: The “Welcome to”, the “Our Wedding”, and the bottom part with the customization – you can add both your names & the wedding date, if desired. The “Welcome to” and the customization are in maroon block letters, while the “Our Wedding” is in black script. Since it’s provided to you in three parts, you can position it exactly where you want it. They say that the stencils are removable, so it sounds like you could use it on the wall of your reception hall without issue. They recommend that you use the stencil within a year of purchase, so I will probably place it on a block of some sort, similar to what you see in the example picture above – I think it looks really pretty with the flowers around it, and it would be the perfect accent for a guestbook table. Here is our stencil as it looks right now, pre-transfer:
