Custom Etched Glass Wedding Venue Doors – From Sticker Removal to Stunning Design
A custom etched glass wedding venue door can completely transform the atmosphere of a ceremony space. Recently, we worked on a project that started with a simple phone call and turned into a beautiful example of how art and craftsmanship can bring new life to a venue.
The Call from the Wedding Venue Owner
One afternoon, we received a call from the owner of a well-known wedding hall—the place where countless couples have stood to say “I do.” He told us,
“I want to remove the old stickers from the entrance doors and replace them with something timeless and elegant.”
He sent over a photo of a design he loved, asking if we could recreate it—only better.
Designing the New Etched Glass Look
We carefully studied the design he provided and began sketching our own interpretation. The goal was to keep the essence of his chosen style while refining it with elegant curves, balanced patterns, and detailing that would suit a luxury wedding venue.
We shared the sketch with him, and he immediately approved, saying,
“This is exactly what I had in mind—only more beautiful.
From Concept to Craftsmanship
Step 1: Removing the Old Stickers
We carefully stripped away the outdated decals, cleaning the glass thoroughly to prepare it for etching.
Step 2: Applying the Design
Using a stencil created from our digital design, we positioned the artwork precisely on the door panels.
Step 3: Sandblasting the Etched Pattern
Through multi-depth sandblasting, we brought the design to life. Light danced through the frosted details, giving the glass an elegant, handcrafted look that no sticker could match.
The Final Reveal
When we delivered the finished doors, the owner was delighted. The entrance, once covered in flat, aging decals, now had a sophisticated etched glass design that elevated the entire venue. Guests would now walk through an entrance that truly matched the elegance of the weddings inside.
