How to Display Your Wedding Photos

Forget about putting a cheesy 20 x 20 above your fireplace; it's just too...much. Instead, try these fresh tips to show off your twosome:

Create a Series
Buy frames in the same color but in four or five different sizes; then enlarge or reduce your favorite photographs to suit the frames. Choose a room where you can hang them together (anywhere from your entryway to your den) as a series. Or create a cool wall ledge to display multiple frames.

Mix It Up
Along with a posed wedding shot, include some candids or pics of your favorite details, such as the church facade or your bouquet. Go with black-and-white or sepia photos (save the color ones for your screensaver). Add a handwritten note or paper invitation in a shadow box frame that will make the wall more visually interesting.

Prep the Area
Make paper cutouts that are the size of your frames and lightly tack them up with tape to make sure you’re happy before you even think about picking up a hammer! There should be at least two inches of space between the frames.

No Wall Space
Buy a high-grade, large-size journal and place prints of photos in there for a classic, old-school look. Put it on your coffee table and leave it open to create an eye-catching display for the guests at your next cocktail party.

I love my photo book i created as well...in fact we had a very small wedding and so i used it for our guestbook!! It will be more fun to have than a guest book for such a small group of people.

Have really enjoyed Snapfish.com (or any photo book maker) and making photo books. They stay out on the coffee table and people pick them up every time we have folks over! Great way to enjoy your pictures from the wedding weekend or any special event! Makes great gifts too!

My husband and i asked for a digital frame on our registry. Thankfully we got the frame. We decided that that frame is our wedding frame. The pictures that we both like our on turning in the frame. It's a nice way where not all our pictures on your wall are wedding. But you still have a place for them.
