Making The Most Of Your Wedding Pictures

Besides storing your pictures in a basic album, here are a few ideas that will help you liven up your pictures

Enlarge a Special moment
There is always a favorite photo that captures the emotions of the day. Take that picture and blow it up. Digital cameras today can often take pictures that can be enlarged to poster size. Maybe you don't want an enlarged picture of you up, try enlarging a detail picture of something meaningful on your wedding day. This can be a wedding favor, your bouquet, your rings, a piece of cake, or anything that has sentimental value. Make sure and talk to your photographer before enlarging.

Displaying On Shelfs
Instead of just framing one picture and putting it on a shelf, consider framing a series of pictures from your wedding that tell the story of your wedding day. By making a gallery of pictures you won't limit yourself to one moment of your wedding. Framing pictures makes all the difference in a display so be wise when choosing the right frame.

Publish Your Wedding Day
Many photographers offer hardcover books containing the coverage of your wedding day. These books can be displayed on a coffee table or out in the open where family friends can view them. They are made in a manner to take the viewer through the entire day of events and hopefully have captured the emotions and special feelings of the day. The highest quality books are the ones that cut and hand mount your professional photographs in a bound book. They come in several styles including leather covers and pastel pages.

Go Digital
Think about doing a digital scrapbook online. Blogs are also popular but make sure and get permission from your photographer before you post your pictures online. Facebook and other social sites are a great place to show off your pictures. You can also put your pictures to a slide show with music. Many professional photographers offer it as a service and it usually isn't very costly. Or if you have a digital picture frame load your pictures and they will show up in a slide show manner. If you don't have the digital negatives you may be able to scan them with a scanner. Again, make sure and get written permission from your photographer.

Be Creative
Pin-boards are more popular and offer an fun way to display pictures. Your pictures can be swapped out depending on how you feel. It doesn’t take much time and it pin-boards actually look better when the display isn’t perfect. It’s a good contracts of fun and formal that will fit in a bedroom, office, or hallway.

It's up to you how you want to display your wedding pictures. But whatever you do, don't leave them in a box stored away. That special day is meant to be remembered. Especially with the way life goes, it is important to reflect on your beginning when you are first married.
