Ideas On Scrapbooking Wedding Photographs

Doing wedding scrapbook layouts is a lot of fun for most scrapbooking lovers. Everyone loves to do an elegant layout now and then. Here are some ideas for your next wedding scrapbook layout.

Good materials to use when doing a wedding layout are things like lace, thick dry embossed card stock, ribbon, jewelery, flowers and other elegant motifs.

Try getting hold of a formally posed wedding photograph to use as your focal point. It can even be in black and white if you want the vintage effect. It was popular way back for the couple to have formal posed pictures, but these days the photographs are posed for in a more relaxed manner, and family and guests are often included in the photographs.

Take note of any background elements and colors that you can focus on in your chosen photo. If it is a black and white photo with a pillar in the background, you could try making a pillar to put on your layout somewhere; your journaling could even travel down the pillar. If you have a color photograph, why not try to use card stock and embellishments in the same color tones.

I found a great wedding photograph of my parents. I made it larger and it became the focal point of my scrap booking layout. I put my titles down the side and mounted the photograph on some lovely leafy card stock. Some pretty lace and a lacy flower at the bottom of the layout finished it off beautifully.

Even though my parents looked so happy in their wedding photo's, they unfortunately like so many couples got divorced twenty years later. However, if you have old wedding photographs where the couple is still together, it might be a good idea to make a lovely wedding layout and then on the next page put some photographs of the couple as they look now.

A great scrap booking idea and solution is to try making a flap underneath the focal photograph. Underneath that flap you can put photographs of the couple enjoying moments together over the years or even some journaling. Another good idea is to get a posed family photograph with all the children and grandchildren that the marriage produced and put it under the flap. In this way the layout would tell the reader some of the history behind the marriage.

Don't you think this would make a great gift for the couple in question. It would be a lovely and unique gift that they could cherish forever.
