Squarespace Templates That’ll Make You Say “I Do”
To see all of Squarespace’s Wedding templateSoria
The full-page photo is a great way to make your visitors go “aww” the moment they land on your site. If you want to make it even more fun, you can replace the background photo with a video to make your wedding website really pop. Soria includes all the different elements you’ll need, like a map for the venue location, an RSVP form, links to your wedding registry, and areas to add dates and information regarding your ceremony. Beyond that, this template also has an Our Story page. Here you can add a photo gallery from your engagement shoot or any snaps that you’ve taken since you met, sweet quotes from the two of you or friends and family members, and a background story about your relationship. This template also includes some small details that make all the difference. The email link on the footer of the homepage is a good idea if guests want to get in touch to ask further questions. If you’ve created a hashtag for guests to use when posting pictures of your wedding or the lead up to it, you can integrate that with a link to the Instagram search results.Dario
Similar to Soria, this template also has a full-screen image that grabs attention. Aesthetically, this template is a little more understated. It’s designed with simple fonts and minimalistic layouts. You’ll find that the homepage includes a little more detail. There’s a section where you can add backstories of the two of you and your relationship, plus sections where you can insert the wedding schedule and location details. I like that the Gifts page here is different from a traditional registry. On the template, it suggests giving your guests options on how to give cash gifts, but you can also easily change this to link to an external registry, if you’d prefer. Finally, this site looks really great on mobile. There’s a nice balance of photos and text that will make scrolling through your site particularly easy on the eyes.Aubrey
If you long for the days of traditional paper wedding invitations, then this template is for you. Aubrey uses a no-fuss design that still comes off as classy and sentimental. Of course, you don’t have to keep the white rose background. You can change the image to whatever you’d like – but if you don’t really want to customize it all that much, I won’t blame you. The image works. The Details page is set up to look like a classic invitation. You’ll find a registry page where you can add clickable logo links to your registries at different stores, and finally, an RSVP form. This template is elegant and simple. It would work well if you just want to create a quick and easy website that functions like an invitation, without having to add photos or text about your relationship’s backstory.Sonny
The Sonny template really takes the adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” very seriously. This template has less text and tons of space to showcase your best photos. The parallax scrolling feature makes this template look classy. You can really make your photos stand out on this template with its grid-style image gallery. There’s also a grid image gallery on the registry page, so guests can see exactly what items you want. This template isn’t very text-heavy, and the only places with text are very straight-to-the-point details about your wedding. You can, of course, add more sections if you’d like, but I think letting your photos tell your story for you is part of Sonny’s charm.Squarespace Wedding Templates You Should Avoid
Like I mentioned earlier, Squarespace’s forte is the way it beautifully displays your images. To create a wedding website – of all things – without any images seems like a missed opportunity. To me, these templates miss the mark. They’re basic, but arguably too basic. They don’t really spark any feelings of excitement or sentimentalism, which is hopefully what you want your guests to feel about your upcoming wedding. We get it: a wedding means white. But Morena feels like it’s beating you over the head with all its empty white space. In general, I do think these minimalist text-only websites can work for some things, like a personal CV website, for example. However, I wouldn’t use it for a wedding. Even the other two pages in this template and the RSVP form are in the same style: black text on a white background. It just seems a little too plain. And Rey’s color scheme seems more appropriate for a baby shower than a wedding. Aside from the banner image, there are no other sections for photos (unless you add them in as additional content blocks, of course). Rey puts nearly everything on one page: ceremony schedule and location, blurbs about the two of you, a registry with the logos of your chosen stores, and an RSVP button. With enough customizing, these templates can work for your wedding, but why go through all the effort when you can just start with a different template that looks better from the get-go?Other Squarespace Templates That Can Work for Your Wedding Website
You don’t have to limit yourself to the Wedding category in Squarespace’s template catalog. If you’re willing to put in a little bit of extra time and imagination, you’ll find that some other templates can work just as well, if not better, than the wedding-specific ones. These templates have some of the elements any wedding website needs, and you can easily add in the rest yourself.Wycoff
Wycoff comes with some of the elements you’ll need, like an RSVP form and sections for a few images and text (ideally to provide the location and details about your event). Since this template is built for events in general, it’s missing things like a gift registry or a page for your story – but you can easily customize this template to add extra pages or sections, if you wish. What I love most about this template is its bold font. For a wedding, it really breaks from tradition with its lack of daintiness or elegance, but maybe that’s the kind of celebration you’re going for. I can really picture a quirky, hip couple choosing this design. Add your own pictures that evoke the same feelings of joy and excitement, and your guests will be counting down the days to the most fun wedding of the year.Sonora
The Sonora homepage has a lot of elements you can use, like short text sections where you add ceremony details, a map for your event’s location, and a small image gallery. You can delete pages you probably won’t need, like the Blog and Past Events pages. The other sections and pages can work well for a wedding with the right tweaks. For example, the Vendors page is a list of icons and descriptions, which can easily be transformed into your gift registry. Since this template is a little more intricate and has a lot of space for details, I think it would be ideal for destination weddings. You can add a schedule of events over a weekend or suggestions for your guests of things to do before or after the wedding celebrations.Kin
If you really want to get into the story of your relationship over time, then Kin is the ideal template. The parallax scrolling here helps turn this website into a beautiful keepsake that you’ll still enjoy revisiting even after your wedding. As it is, it’s set up to tell your story over a year with a short text snippet and an image from each month. You can narrow this down or change it to show milestones from your relationship, like how you met, your first date, moving in together, your engagement, etc. Since it’s not set up for any kind of event, you’ll have to add things like an RSVP form, a gift registry, and a separate page for your ceremony details if you don’t want it on the homepage.Short on time?
