How to Make a Wedding Scrapbook
by Sasha Byers
A wedding can be the happiest day of many people's lives, and a scrapbook is an
ideal way to sum up your special day's activities to help remember and share
them with others. Digital photo collages using wedding-centric collage picture
frames can make a critical component of memorabilia for you and your mate to
keep and treasure forever.
Most professional photographers take hundreds of photos, and the opportunities
for photo collages are endless, so putting together a wedding scrapbook can feel
like a daunting task. But don't be overwhelmed! Today's digital photo collages
make the process easy and fun. You can simply drag and drop digital photos into
premade collage picture frames with wedding themes. Consider the advice below.
Invite your newlywed to participate and offer ideas on the project. If he or she
wants to take part, it can be a fun experience as a couple and will increase
your partner's appreciation for your wedding scrapbook.
First, choose your favorite wedding pictures to use alone or in photo collages.
This can be one of the most challenging aspects of your scrapbooking projects,
but it's important because it will dictate the length of your scrapbook.
Next, outline the photo collages you're thinking of creating. Maybe one page
will be dedicated to the rehearsal dinner, another to the members of the wedding
party, another to the parents of the bride and groom, another to the flower girl
and ring bearer, and so on. Choose from a wide assortment of collage picture
frames that use a wedding theme.
Gather the mementos you wish to save. Some of the nicest wedding scrapbooks
incorporate elements of both traditional and digital scrapbooks. For example,
you might glue a wedding invitation and petals of your wedding corsage or
bouquet to homemade pages accompanied by printed digital photo collages on other
pages. You can scan in your wedding license, vows or other priceless documents
to include on your digital pages and even frame them using collage picture
frames.
Be sure to include creative details, journaling or captions to help tell the
story. You can include these aside wedding photo collages for a personal touch.
Today's digital photo collages offer so many choices of embellishments. Pick
from wedding bells, lovebirds, hearts, flowers, wedding rings and wedding cake
to help accent your photo collages.
Your wedding scrapbook is priceless, and the traditional paper-and-glue
scrapbook is irreplaceable. Imagine how you'd feel if it were lost or ruined. A
digital scrapbook, which can be reprinted anytime, helps protect your treasured
heirloom.
The fun, beauty and excitement of your wedding don't have to end after the
reception. You, your partner, family and friends will reminisce over your
wedding scrapbook many times in the years to come. Thoughtfully capturing those
blissful, once-in-a-lifetime moments now will help you feel like you're getting
married all over again... even when you're celebrating your silver or golden
wedding anniversary!
