Wholesale Wedding & Ceremony Fans

The Range: Colours and Finishes

Four colourways and three finishes cover most ceremony palettes without a custom dye run, and any of them can carry a printed programme.

Colourways

Ivory white is the most requested base colour and reads as neutral against most wedding palettes. Blush and powder pink are the two warm-tone options, close enough in shade that couples sometimes order a small trial batch of both before committing. Cream sits between ivory and a warmer tone and is the usual choice when the rest of the stationery is off-white rather than pure white.

Finishes

Lace is layered over the fan for a textured, traditional look, generally chosen for classic or vintage-themed ceremonies. A satin ribbon tie at the base is the simplest and most versatile finish, suiting most colour palettes without competing with the fan itself. A gilt edge adds a fine metallic trim around the fan's outer edge for a slightly more formal, dressed-up finish without the cost of a full metallic fan.

Mixing Within One Order

Colourways and finishes can be combined within the same order at no extra step. This is useful for a wedding party where the couple wants one shade and the bridal party another, or where table settings alternate between two tones. List each combination and quantity in the message field of the quote form.

Who Buys the Wedding & Ceremony Range

Order size and buying pattern differ sharply between a couple ordering once and a planner ordering across a season.

Couples and Wedding Parties

A single couple typically orders 100 to 300 pieces depending on guest count, usually in one colourway with an optional printed programme. This is a one-time order tied to a single date, which is why the six-week lead-time recommendation matters more here than on any other range in the catalogue. Couples ordering close to the lower end of the range often add a small buffer over the guest count to cover last-minute additions to the list.

Wedding Planners and Venues

Planners managing several ceremonies in one season order on a trade basis: mention that you are ordering on behalf of multiple events when you submit your quote request. Venues that supply fans as a standard part of their ceremony package tend to reorder the same finish each season rather than changing it wedding to wedding, which simplifies quoting once the first order and preferred finish are on file.

Bridal Boutiques and Stationers

Some bridal boutiques and wedding stationers stock a small run of this range alongside their own product line, generally in ivory or blush with a plain finish, as a low-effort add-on sale for couples already placing a stationery or dress order.

Comparing Wedding & Ceremony to the Rest of the Catalogue

This range shares its bamboo-and-paper construction logic with Paper & Bamboo Fans but is finished specifically for a ceremony (lace, ribbon, gilt edge) rather than sold as a general-purpose stock colourway. Couples wanting a longer-lasting, more premium finish for the wedding party specifically (rather than for guest favours) often add a run from Silk & Satin Fans alongside this range. The printed-programme option overlaps with Custom Printed & Promotional Fans in production logic (free mockup, proof before print) but the wedding range is built for a single-date order rather than a repeatable campaign. For an outdoor summer ceremony where humidity is a concern, Fabric Folding Fans is the more weather-resistant alternative to a paper-based programme fan. Mention your venue and season in the quote form if you would like advice on which finish suits the setting.
