Picture your guests walking in and stopping at a faux stained glass wedding sign with your names glowing in it, like a real cathedral window catching the light. After the day it comes home with you and hangs on the wall, so you get to keep it for good. And the making of it? That's the quiet, lovely part: a few evenings with a paintbrush, watching your wedding sign come to life colour by colour.
That's what a marryful faux stained glass template gives you. You get the design, you make the piece, and you end up with something no shop-bought sign can match, because you made it yourself.
An eyecatcher on the day
A welcome sign or table numbers that guests actually stop to look at, in your colours and your names.
A keepsake for after
It doesn't get boxed up when the day ends. It hangs on your wall and keeps the memory in the room.
A project you'll enjoy
Calm, hands-on evenings in the run-up to the wedding, colouring in something that's all yours.
You don't have to be an artist to make one
This is the part people worry about, so let me say it plainly: if you can trace a line and fill it in, you can make this. The design is already drawn for you. You print it, trace the outlines, and paint between them, a bit like a grown-up colouring book on glass. Real customers say it better than I can, and quite a few of them describe themselves as "not creative" before they started.
"It was so easy to understand how to download and change the words. It was very easy to do (as someone who is not creative). This definitely exceeded my expectations."
"The template was very easy to access and edit, the seller reached out to ensure I had no issues, and the product was just as shown! Thank you so much for my wedding welcome sign that will hang in our home forever."
"Digital download was easy to use and print. My faux stain-glass sign turned out great!"
"I love this!! Exactly what I was looking for with detailed instructions, and simplicity!! It was super easy to download and print off."
"Great template! I was able to customize and print it out easily. Can't wait to use it for my stained glass sign!"
"Instructions on how to download and edit on Canva were helpful. Already sent mine off to get printed so I can make my faux stained glass!"
"Easy to follow instructions - great pattern!!"
"Great product! Super easy to edit in Canva and print as needed. Will purchase more products in the future!"
"A beautiful design! I can't wait to make and gift this to my best friends."
The reason it works is that nothing is left to guesswork. You follow the guide, use the supplies I recommend, and the result looks like the photos. That's the whole promise.
How it works
Here's the short version, so you know what you're getting into before you buy. The full step-by-step guide comes with your purchase.
Edit your names in Canva
Open the template in Canva (free), type in your names and date, and you're done. No design skills needed.
Print it at home or at a print shop
Use the Tile & Trace tool that comes with your download to split the design across normal paper, or send it to a print shop for one big sheet.
Trace and paint your glass
Tape the print behind clear acrylic or glass, trace the black leading, and fill in your colours. The guide walks you through every step.
Frame it and display
Stand it on an easel at the wedding, then hang it at home afterwards. That's it.
How long it takes
The template is a digital download, so you get it the moment you buy, day or night. From there you order your acrylic and paint (my list is in the guide), and you can start the same evening they arrive.
The painting itself is a few relaxed evenings, not a single marathon, because you let each layer dry before the next.
Make it part of the fun. A lot of brides turn this into an evening with their maid of honour and a glass of wine. Colouring in your own wedding sign is a surprisingly nice way to look forward to the day, and you end up with a story attached to the finished piece.
The designs
Every design is hand-drawn in the faux stained glass style, with your last name or the couple's names set in the middle. Recolour any of them to match your florals or your season.
Wildflower meadow
Lavender, daisies and soft botanicals. The garden-wedding favourite and the easiest palette to match.

Tall white callas around your married name. Elegant, classic, and lovely as a keepsake.

Everything's included in one download
No extra fees, no upsells. Here's what lands in your account the moment you order.
Your editable Canva template, in more than one size
The welcome sign comes in three sizes and the table numbers in two, so you can match whatever acrylic you buy. Edit the names, date and wording in a few minutes.
Tile & Trace, the home-print tool
Turn your template into tape-together sheets you can print on any home printer, at true size. It also has a Back-of-Glass Flip that mirrors the design for a glossier, protected finish. No print shop needed.
A password-protected, step-by-step DIY guide
The full make-along guide, walking you through printing, tracing, painting and drying, with the mistakes to avoid. Your access code comes with the download.
A simple purchase and access guide
A short walkthrough for opening your template in Canva and saving your own copy, so even first-time Canva users are set up in minutes.
Bonus: the colour-mixing cheat sheet
My shortcuts for mixing any shade from a few bottles, getting see-through glass tones, and adding texture. So your colours come out exactly how you pictured them.
Match your table numbers too
Once your welcome sign is done, most brides carry the look onto the tables. The matching table numbers come in the same designs, in arched and rectangular shapes, so the whole day feels like it belongs together.
Common questions before you buy
Is this a physical sign or a template?
It's a digital template you make into a sign yourself. You buy the design, download it straight away, and paint your own piece using clear acrylic or glass. That's why it costs a fraction of a finished custom sign, and why it becomes something you made.
Do I need to be good at art?
No. The design is already drawn, so you're tracing and colouring in, not drawing from scratch. Plenty of customers say they're "not creative" and were thrilled with how theirs turned out.
What do I need to buy separately?
A clear acrylic sheet or glass frame, glass paint, and a black paint pen or liner. The step-by-step guide has my full list with exact links, so you're not guessing in the craft aisle.
Can I change the names, date and colours?
Yes to all of it. You edit the wording in Canva, and you choose your own paint colours, so it matches your florals, your season, or your bridesmaid palette.
What sizes does it come in?
The welcome sign comes in three sizes and the table numbers in two, so you can match common acrylic sheet and blank sizes without resizing anything yourself.
How soon can I start?
Right away. It's an instant download, so you can edit and print the same day, then start painting as soon as your acrylic and paint arrive.
Make your own wedding sign
Pick your design, download it today, and start creating the piece you'll walk past for years. Instant access, editable in Canva, with the full DIY guide and colour cheat sheet included.
