Linen Wedding Signs - How to Hang
Eyelets
No stand, no problem! Make the most of your venue and show off its' features by displaying your linen on a textured wall, between trees or draped over a wooden beam or furniture item.
By selecting us to add eyelets to your linen sign, you can hang your wedding signage by using hooks, or decorative ribbon if you’d like to highlight this, or use clear fishing wire if you’d rather not use a coloured element. The ribbons can be left long or tied in bows to create a styling element and mirror your wedding colour palette.
You can also opt to use a “poster hanger” which is two lengths of wood clasped around the top edge of the linen using magnets. This then pulls the fabric taut and you can hang from a central point or either end of the wood, depending on the size chosen. This can also be done on the lower edge of the linen if you want this to hang straight without pooling.
Alternatively you can also do the same principle but fold the fabric over the bar of wooden velcro at the back to conceal it.
Wooden Stands
We had our stands made by a local carpenter, however the same look is easily replicated by searching for “wooden clothes rails” or “wooden clothes racks” and these also come flat packed. The main two things to look out for is the width and height. If you would like 10cm of space either side of your linen, you’ll need to look for a width of over 80cm. In the same way you also would like the linen to pool on the floor from a styling perspective, you’ll want to look for a stand 30-50 cm shorter than your chosen linen length.
Below are some recommendations, please ensure you closely look at the dimensions as all of these vary and it depends on personal styling preferences.

Metal Stands
Black powder coated stands are also a popular choice for displaying our linen sigange. These can be found on Etsy with many sellers using either a square profile or pipe work style framing. Do check with your florist, stylist or venue to see if they have these as a hire option as generally these are localised hire options depending on where your wedding location is.
You may also find searching online for a clothes/garment rail or rack is a great alternative to sourcing an actual wedding sign stand. Using the suggested above dimensions, many websites such as IKEA, Wayfair, Amazon etc have these that are available for delivery and therefore come flatpack for you to assemble at your wedding venue. This usually also means the top bar is detachable for threading the linen on to the display. It's just important to bear in mind shelving may need to be removed and ensure you test the stability before displaying.
Some options that may work for you, depending on your linen size chosen and styling preferences linked below, please double check dimensions before ordering:
