How To Scrapbook

Wedding Scrapbook Ideas

A wedding is one of the most significant events in life which means making your wedding scrapbook can be an intimidating prospect. There are plenty of basic wedding scrapbook ideas that can guide you to create a treasured keepsake of your special day.

One of the nicest wedding scrapbook ideas involves considering the questions your future children might ask about your special day for your Wedding Scrapbookjournaling. One particularly popular idea is to design your scrapbook around the wedding colors while adding black, white, gold or silver accents where appropriate.

A wedding is often a large affair and you may want to dedicate a whole album to your wedding and have a page for the ceremony, a layout of before the event with the bride and groom getting ready, some pictures of the reception and not forgetting the honeymoon. Furthermore, it does not hurt to take a look at other wedding scrapbook ideas that others have done to help get your creative juices flowing.

The most popular choice is to work with your wedding colors. Consider setting off these wedding colors (or other colors you choose) by pairing them with a classic black or white cardstock background. I love the look of black-on-white in wedding albums. You'll want to choose only the best and most interesting photographs for your wedding scrapbook album. You'll also need to look at some wedding scrapbook layout samples or examples of completed albums so you can get an idea of the sort of supplies you'll need. It's also a good idea to work with duplicates of your priceless wedding photos.

Specific details are more memorable and intriguing than generalities and the best way to vividly remember your wedding day is to focus in turn, on each of your senses. Ask the wedding party to contribute their thoughts via journaling too. I know of more than one scrapbooker who now bemoans cutting their irreplaceable wedding photos into cutesy shapes or silhouettes.

If you really want to do this, crop pictures etc, it can be achieved with graphics manipulation software and we show you how exactly to do this on the video's page. The software that we use is free and easily and safely downloaded from the internet. If your photographs are not digital use a scanner to digitise them onto your computer. We can then play with them to our heart's content.

If you are going to include the formal wedding portraits in your album, use photo corners instead of a permanent adhesive. Many brides choose to create their wedding scrapbooks by using the candid photos friends and family took during the ceremony and reception. Consider, too, incorporating the following items into your layouts: Engagement announcement, bridal shower, hen's party, stag night invitations, gift registry, wedding invitations, wedding program sheet music for the songs played during the wedding ceremony. Also congratulations cards, engraved napkins, dried flower petals from your bouquet, reception place cards, Scraps of ribbon and lace saved from wedding decorations and leftover confetti plus plane tickets or travel brochures from the honeymoon.

There are so many wonderful things you can do to make your wedding scrapbook album special and a joy to look back on in the years to come.
