Wedding albums are great to keep those wonderful memories from your wedding day. Well, I say wonderful, but sometimes (more than often!), weddings can turn out to be a complete disaster… although usually those disasters turn out to also be the funniest moments of the day. But, hey, you sure want to keep those ones in your wedding album as well, don’t you? Yes, you know what I mean…
Don’t panic. Planning a wedding thoroughly is no piece of cake, but it will surely make things go smoothly. Almost always something is bound to go wrong, as weddings are complicated to plan. Not to worry. Just concentrate on doing things thoughtfully and well in advance or hire a wedding planner. Everything should fall into place in the end…
Back to your wedding photo album. You want to make sure every detail is there, and that each photo depicts the feeling of the day. You might want to add your honeymoon pics, if you’re planning a cruise, check out this guide to honeymoon cruises for advice.
A friend of mine had a really good idea for great pictures on wedding photo albums: place a disposable camera on each of your wedding reception tables and leave a note asking your guests to take pictures galore. Great, isn’t it. Then, have your photos printed and ask your guests to come around to look at the wedding album and choose which ones they want copies of. You see, the thing is that you will have many different photos from many different perspectives, all unique and most probably quite wonderful. It is sort of “everyone’s memory” of the wedding rather than just your own (or the point of view of your wedding photographer for that matter!). Make sure to pick a wedding album design that is also unique.
A good idea is to create photo wedding albums that incorporate pictures from the beginning of your wedding planning right up to the end of the honeymoon. A good photo wedding album should pride itself for being almost like a book or a film: telling a great story from beginning to end. Add other “important details” like your wedding menu, the wedding invitations, even your air tickets, and why not? There should not be limits to your imagination.
Nowadays, digital wedding albums are taking the wedding scene by storm. They are cheap, look fantastic and can store a great amount of photographs. And let’s not forget the cutting edge side of it will impress everyone who wants to see your wedding photos. A digital wedding album is the “modern way” of storing your memories. Now, you should ALWAYS ask for the negatives in case anything happens to the digital album or if you were thinking of printing the photographs on paper later on.
Why not have both options? You’ll please grandma and the younger techie ones. Well, you can’t go wrong that way, that’s for sure!
It is important that you look for wedding albums that reflect your personality and your style. Take your time when choosing them, whether professional wedding albums or stylized homemade ones, it should be the perfect “book” that tells the fairy tale story of your wedding.
