Couples planning their wedding meet dozens of vendors before they book anyone. At a bridal expo, that window narrows to seconds. The quality of the printed collateral you hand over, and the way your branded display looks from across the room, shapes how couples perceive your work before they see a single image or floral arrangement.
For wedding planners, florists, photographers, hire companies, and stylists, a coordinated print kit is a client-acquisition tool. Business cards that feel premium, a selfie frame or media wall that turns a styled shoot into a branded social moment, and foil-sealed packaging that makes delivery feel intentional: these are competitive signals that sit alongside your portfolio.
This guide covers the core print pieces for a wedding vendor kit, what to prioritise by vendor type, and how each product performs at expos, styled shoots, and day-of delivery.

Premium Business Cards: The Foundation for Every Vendor
A business card is still the most efficient way to move from a conversation to a quote. For wedding vendors, the tactile quality of the card communicates something before the recipient reads a word. A florist who hands over 350gsm linen card signals attention to texture and natural materials. A photographer who prints on metallic stock communicates a particular visual aesthetic. A stylist who hands over artboard with velvet laminate creates an impression that a digital follow-up cannot replicate.
Paperlust Print Shop’s standard business cards are printed in Australia on your choice of six stocks: Linen, Cotton, Metallic, Matte, Artboard, and Artboard with Velvet Laminate. Each signals a different brand tier.
Matte and Artboard are clean and versatile across most vendor categories. Linen and Cotton add warmth and a handcrafted feel that suits florists, stylists, and coordinators working with organic aesthetics. Metallic stock reads as contemporary and editorial, making it popular with photographers and visual creatives. Artboard with Velvet Laminate is the standout choice for luxury-market vendors: the soft coating is distinctive to touch and makes your card the one that does not end up at the bottom of a stack.
Sizes and shapes
The standard 90 x 55mm rectangle fits every wallet and cardholder. Rounded corners at the same dimensions add softness while staying practical. A 60 x 60mm circle card creates a stronger visual impression on an expo table or with styled-shoot clients. All shapes can be printed front and back, giving you room for a portfolio image, QR code, or pricing overview on the reverse.
Ordering for expos
24-hour production is available for standard business cards, which makes urgent orders before a last-minute expo booking possible. For vendors building a kit for the first time, 250 to 500 cards covers two or three expos without over-committing to a design you may refine.
Selfie Frames and Media Walls: Your Brand in Every Shared Photo
The photo activation has become standard at weddings and wedding expos. For vendors, it is a long-tail marketing tool: when a guest posts a photo taken in front of your branded frame, your logo and hashtag travel with that image across social media, tagged in wedding recap posts and shared in bridal planning groups.
A selfie frame is a freestanding A1 (594 x 841mm) printed panel made from 5mm TEKpvc foamboard. Lightweight and portable, it props against a wall or table without support. The aperture in the centre is where guests position themselves; the printed border carries your branding, event name, and hashtag. For vendors, a selfie frame works at styled shoots, open studio days, wedding fairs, and client events.
Paperlust selfie frames start from $114.34 inc. GST with a 3-4 working day turnaround. Foil and spot UV finishes are available for a premium branded look, making it straightforward to match the frame finish to your business card stock.
Media walls for expo backdrops and content studios
For vendors with a regular expo presence or a dedicated photography studio, a stretch fabric media wall provides a seamless branded backdrop. The 250gsm stretch polyester fabric has no visible seams, resists wrinkling under event lighting, and handles portable studio flash and continuous lighting well. The aluminium frame packs flat, and setup requires no tools.
Four widths are available: 1500mm, 1980mm, 2980mm, and 3980mm, all at 2300mm height. The 1980mm width suits a standard 3m x 3m expo booth. The 2980mm and 3980mm options suit photographers and venues with a larger event footprint or a dedicated studio used for content days and styled shoots.
Pricing starts from $315.87 inc. GST with most orders produced in 24-48 hours.
Foil Stickers and Branded Seals: The Detail That Gets Photographed
The finishing touches on delivery and packaging are where a vendor’s brand earns its premium pricing. Florists who wrap stems in tissue sealed with a gold foil sticker. Photographers who hand over USB envelopes with a rose gold logo seal on the flap. Hire companies who bag each linen napkin or table item with a branded disc. These details show up in unboxing photos and tagged social posts.
Foil stickers start from $0.98 inc. GST per sticker (minimum 10) and are available in gold, silver, rose gold, copper, and holographic foil. Both cold and hot foil processes are available: cold foil suits detailed work on smaller areas such as monograms or fine-line wordmarks; hot foil gives richer coverage on large solid areas. Sizes range from 20 x 20mm to 295 x 425mm, covering small logo seals through to large branded packaging sheets.
Turnaround is 3-5 working days after proof approval. For packaging kits used regularly through peak season, ordering a larger batch ahead of October keeps per-unit cost low and avoids mid-season re-orders.

Planning around peak season and the expo calendar
Australian wedding season peaks from October to March.

Allow 3-4 weeks before your first expo date for proof approval, production, and flat-rate delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What business card stock works best for a luxury wedding vendor?
Artboard with Velvet Laminate is the most distinctive option: the soft coating is immediately tactile and communicates quality before the recipient reads the card. For vendors with a natural or handcrafted aesthetic, such as florists, stylists, and organic caterers, Linen and Cotton stocks add warmth and texture. Metallic suits photographers and designers with a contemporary or editorial brand.
Can I add my logo and hashtag to a selfie frame?
Yes. Selfie frames are fully custom printed with your artwork. You can include your logo, business name, hashtag, event-specific messaging, or a QR code in the border around the aperture. The foamboard is printed at A1 (594 x 841mm) and comes ready to use without additional framing or hardware.
What size media wall fits a standard expo booth?
A 1980 x 2300mm media wall fits comfortably in a standard 3m x 3m booth and provides a seamless branded backdrop without crowding the display space. For larger booths or dedicated studios, the 2980mm or 3980mm wide options give broader coverage. The aluminium frame packs flat and carries in its own bag for transport between events.
How early should I order print materials for peak season?
Allow 3-4 weeks before you need items in hand, particularly from October to March when print production volumes across the industry are higher. Business cards with 24-hour production can be ordered closer to an event, but still allow time for the proof approval stage before production starts.
Do foil stickers adhere to tissue paper and matte packaging?
Foil stickers are produced on adhesive-backed vinyl and adhere to most smooth and semi-smooth surfaces, including tissue paper, card gift boxes, matte packaging, and gift bags. For heavily textured or porous surfaces, cold foil with laminate protection is the more reliable option. Test on your specific packaging material before placing a bulk order.
Can I order a small quantity of business cards to trial a new stock?
Yes. Standard business cards have a minimum order of 100 cards. This is a practical quantity to trial a new stock type across a few networking events or styled shoots before committing to a larger print run. Different stock options can be ordered as separate batches of 100 to compare them side by side.
