Beginners’ Tips For Wedding Scrapbook Pages
If you’re trying to create some unique and memorable wedding scrapbook pages, you may have realized by now that it’s a bit more difficult than you might have imagined. This is not because you are stuck for ideas, but most likely because there are too many scrapbooking embellishments out there! From old-time Victorian pages to fun and whimsical ideas, there is just about no end to the types of wedding scrapbook pages you can create. So where to begin and how to keep yourself from being overwhelmed?
One thing you can do is try to think of the theme or tone of your wedding. Was it a springtime wedding in a garden or formal affair in a large cathedral? Your wedding scrapbook pages should reflect this; those Victorian-looking pages are going to seem out of place with photos of your casual garden wedding. Save those for other craft projects and instead stay with colors, embellishments and designs that most reflect the feel of your wedding. Another idea for wedding scrapbook pages along these same lines is to “think outside the box,” that is, don’t just shop for your pages and embellishments in the wedding section of your scrapbook store. Instead take a good look at all the cardstock and pages they offer. If your wedding is a fall event, you might find some cardstock or embellishments with autumn leaves or fall colors? If you had a summer wedding then check where they have beach or summer pages; all of these might work just as well for your wedding scrapbook pages. Get creative with your thinking and your imagination and you have a good jumping off point for your album. Don’t forget to include some romantic titles scrapbooking.
Another good idea that many are incorporating into wedding scrapbook pages is to really let your pictures tell a story. Start with a photo of each of you as children and have photos of the same types of milestones – each of you getting your driver’s license, going to college, and so on. Your wedding scrapbook pages will be able to tell your entire love story and not just the single story of your wedding day. You should certainly use photos from your courtship and your engagement too. This might mean that you need to make up more wedding scrapbook pages than you had counted and find additional online scrapbooking store. However, when it’s finished you’ll have a beautiful album that will last a lifetime.
