For any married couple, a wedding is one of the most memorable and important events in their life together. But in the course of time, even significant events are erased in memory, and such a tremulous and touching moment, like your own wedding, begins to be forgotten. At this moment, they usually remember about a wedding photo book.

What it is?
You can include various events in a wedding photo book: how the newlyweds met, how the wedding and honeymoon went. Many years later, turning the pages of this book together with relatives and friends, one can recall the happy moments that were experienced in the past. It is better to think over the name of the photobook and its design in advance. You should pay attention to some points.
- Many newlyweds keep photographs taken long before the wedding, even during the period of their acquaintance. It is recommended that you start with these pictures because they can be the starting point for a relationship. With them, you can start the plot, add fond memories of past meetings, dates, gifts.
- It is better to highlight the most memorable periods in the relationship, try to reflect them through pictures.
- It's a good idea to include outdoor shots in your photobook. A flower, a candelabrum, a translucent curtain that sways in a light breeze - such details create a positive mood.
- The best shot is the one that was taken spontaneously.

For a wedding photo book to be truly exclusive and original, you do not need to dwell only on the wedding ceremony. In addition to the post-wedding gifts, there is usually a vast array of different greeting cards and postcards to be found. They can get lost over time.
Congratulations, dear to your heart, will well complement your wedding photo book. Phrases, wishes, toasts uttered at the festive table will be quite appropriate as captions for the corresponding pictures. In the photo album, you can also place various parting words from relatives and guests, pronounced at the wedding.

One of the successful finds of designers can be called Puzzle. The idea is that one of the photographs is transferred to a plate that is cut into irregularly shaped pieces. The task is to collect these parts in such a way that you get a snapshot. A photo where the newlyweds exchange rings, for example, is perfect for this idea. On the reverse side of the puzzle plate, you can add some heartfelt wishes to the newlyweds.

Original plots
The plots, scenarios that are planned to be reflected in the photobook, as well as the background of the pages, must be thought out in advance. The background of the wedding book should also be chosen no less carefully - it should be extraordinary (the style of the wedding must be taken into account). It is necessary to avoid its excessive variegation. In general, a photobook is created in the same style, but if each page is special, it will make it very original.
![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-253/2018/11/svadebnaya-fotokniga-chto-eto-takoe-i-kak-ee-sdelat-26.jpg)

For example, a background solution with flower fields or the French countryside is fine for a French-style wedding. You can make a background with sunbeams, reminiscent of the smell of freshly cut grass and the scent of flowers. At the request of the newlyweds, a wedding book in the "Gothic" style can be decorated in dark colors: with scenes from films about vampires, with the use of ancient stone walls, cobwebs and other attributes corresponding to this theme. If the spouse and spouse are bikers, then in the design of the album you can use motorcycles, brutal photos of bikers, scenes with the participation of newlywed friends in races and pictures taken at biker rallies.

How to create it yourself?
The photo album is a kind of path along which memory takes a person to those happy times when everyone around seemed young, happy and everyone had hopes for a happy future. Perhaps for this reason, you should not choose the standard design options that are offered in photo studios. It is better to create your own extraordinary, special photo album. Here are some tips for making and decorating original wedding photo books yourself:
- The face of the sheet is sometimes replaced with cloth.
- It is not necessary for the photobook to look like a simple scrapbook - you can use rings as a binding, as is done, for example, in loose-leaf calendars.
- The flyleaf can and should be designed in the same style as the pages of the photobook - this will expand the useful area for design elements. In this case, it is recommended to use combinations of two or three colors, moving from more saturated to more calm, and saturated colors should not prevail.

- If wood or wood veneer is chosen for the cover material, it will look very advantageous if you emphasize the structure of the wood. Also, the wood burning technique is often used; When making a leather cover, the technique of artificial aging always looks advantageous - this will also be a reference to the years gone by.
- The first page can be designed as a cover page, or in the form of an envelope - in any case it will look unusual.

- The wedding photo book box is a very useful accessory. It will not only serve as an additional protection against dust during storage and will help the book keep its original appearance for a long time, but it can also be arranged in accordance with the design of a wedding photobook. Instead of a box, you can use a cloth bag, a special box - all of them will be an additional means of storing a photobook.

- Using a mat in the design of a photo book is a very successful and unusual solution. Such framing evokes thoughts of the past and adds originality to the book.
- A photobook differs from a photo album in greater durability, but it is hardly worth arguing that the pages of even the most beautiful wedding photobook can lose their original gloss over time. From frequent viewing, they wear out, the cover is covered with scratches, and the photographs lose color. Covering the sheets with a special fixing protective compound will help to avoid this.

After viewing the album, created by the hands of the newlyweds, there comes a feeling of unity, common interests, real, sincere feelings that the spouses were able to carry through the years and “not lose” it after life's trials and mistakes, from which not a single person is immune.
Design examples
To conclude, there are some beautiful examples of wedding photo book page designs, covers, styles and designs.
