If there’s one thing we’ve seen over and over again throughout the years, it’s a rustic chic wedding. It’s not a trend, it’s a style, and that means Mason Jars, burlap, and chalkboard details are here to stay. If you’re looking for chalkboard wedding ideas or chalkboard-themed details, you’re in the right place. Chalkboard wedding decor has been on the rise, and it offers endless possibilities for personalization. 

Deciding on chalkboard wedding signage and decorations can be inexpensive because of the DIY aspect of the products. Purchasing blank chalkboard signs or cards and writing/decorating everything by hand can add tons of customization to the big day.
