For any couple, wedding is one of the most memorable and important events in life together. But over time, even significant events are erased in the memory, and such a reverent and touching moment, as our own wedding, begins to be forgotten. At this point, usually remember about the wedding photo book.

• Good idea: to include in a photo book pictures of outdoor recreation. A flower, a candelabrum, a translucent curtain that wavers in the light wind — such details create a positive attitude.
• The best shot is one that was made spontaneously.

After completing the work on the pictures taken before the wedding, you can go to the photos taken at the wedding ceremonyas well as during the honeymoon. Of course, first they add pictures that capture the moment of the sentence of the hand and heart. If for some reason the original snapshot of this solemn minute is not preserved, you can beat this situation. Parents also removed one of the first. Fun, entertainment, bouquets, photo zone, any beautiful frame, captured decorated wedding room - everything can be placed in a photo book. After all, when they revise wedding photos, a complete picture of the events taking place is created.

For a wedding photo book to be truly exclusive and original, you don’t need to stop only at the wedding ceremony. In addition to gifts after the wedding is usually found a huge number of different greeting cards and cards. They may get lost over time.

A popular supplement to the wedding photo book was the video recording of the wedding on a CD or DVD. Recently, in connection with the development of computer technology, flash memory cards have become widely used, which can also be arranged in a wedding style. Such a video can serve as an excellent addition to photos, if you put a disk or “flash drive” into the album. Complete the wedding photo book can be pictures of the honeymoon.

If you want to create a wedding book with a professional design, then cooperation with a professional photographer will help to translate it into reality. A specialist will help to create such a photo book, which even in many years will be a pleasure to watch. It should be borne in mind that the cover design should match the design of the pages.

• How framed cover, what material it is made of - it is of great importance. The possibilities of modern printing are very broad, so it is unlikely that you will have to face any limitations in its production. The cover is made in a wide variety of options - with inscriptions and illustrations, scrapbooking is also widely used. The cover can be leather, wooden, plastic or, in special cases, even metal.

• In the manufacture of the cover can be used gold and silver embossing, ribbons, curlicues, monograms, openwork laces. Such a design of a wedding photo book makes it unique, exclusive, so the design of the cover deserves the closest attention.

• The correct selection is important photobook format. Variants are different: from very large, the size of an old volume, to tiny pocket formats. The most popular wedding format is 20x30 cm. It is believed that this size is optimal for placing high-quality photos and allows for various design options.

• Important to discuss the number of pages of the wedding photo book, since some couples have the desire to capture a maximum of images, while others need a dozen photographs.
• Important, what paper the pages will be made of. Noble matte and glossy sheets are used. Pages can be partially woven with silk or metallized thread or other unusual materials.

The form of the book can be any.

One of the successful finds of designers can be called Puzzle. The idea is that one of the photos is transferred to a plate, cut into pieces of irregular shape. The task is to assemble these parts in such a way as to make a snapshot. For this idea is perfect photo, where the newlyweds exchange rings, for example. On the back of the puzzle plate, you can add some kind wishes to the newlyweds.

Plots, scenarios that are planned to be reflected in the photo book, 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 must be extraordinary (the style of the wedding must be taken into account). It is necessary to avoid its excessive diversity. In general, a photo book is created in the same style, but if each page is special, it will make it very original.

For example, a background solution with flower fields or French countryside is quite suitable for a French-style wedding. You can make a background with the sun, reminiscent of the smell of freshly cut grass and the scent of flowers. Wedding book in the style of "Gothic" at the request of the newlyweds can be arranged in dark colors: with scenes from movies about vampires, using ancient stone walls, cobwebs and other related to this theme paraphernalia. 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 newly-weds friends in races and pictures taken at biker rallies.

The photo album is a kind of path, along which the memory carries 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 self-production and design of original wedding photo books:

• The front side of the sheet is sometimes replaced with a cloth.
• It is not necessary for the photobook to look like a simple album - rings can be used as binding, as it is implemented, for example, in flip calendars.
• The flyleaf can and should be arranged in the same style with the pages of the photobook - this will expand the usable area for the design elements. It is recommended to use a combination of two or three colors, moving from more saturated to more relaxed, and saturated colors should not prevail.

• If wood or wood veneer is chosen for the cover material, it will look very advantageous if the wood structure is emphasized. Also on the tree is often used burning technique ;. In the manufacture of leather covers, the technology of artificial aging is always advantageous - this will also be a reference in past years.
• The first page can be arranged as a title page, or in the form of an envelope - in any case, it will look unusual.

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

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