Raleway is a super attractive font, but it’s so thin that it doesn’t always work the best on body copy. For this reason, it’s best to keep it as large as possible whenever you can, which makes it a perfect font for your headers.

I think the combination of Raleway and the fairly ornate old stye Goudy Bookletter 1911 make for a super classy pair. Be careful though, this particular Goudy is a little too complex for tons of body copy and I definitely wouldn’t want to read a big page full of copy written in it. This combination is probably best for scenarios with minimal copy.

Lobster & Cabin

Lobster is one of my favorite scripts of all time. It’s bold and beautiful while remaining quite readable, attributes not easily found in other scripts.

To complement this strong statement, you don’t want anything that competes for attention. Instead pick something plain and simple like Cabin.
