Wedding Photo Book Ideas:
Making a Wedding Memory Book

Looking for wedding photo book ideas that will truly highlight how special your special day really was? Well, you should be! Your wedding day will probably be the most glamorous day of your life.

You wedding pictures will start while you are getting your hair done and they don't end until the couple leaves the reception that evening. If you're lucky enough to have a professional photographer at your wedding, he/she will manage the pictures during your wedding day and will undoubtedly take some fantastic shots that you will treasure forever.

Getting Your Photos Made into a Wedding Memory Book

Unfortunately, getting those wedding photos in a wedding album through your photographer can be unbelievably overpriced. All depending on the photographer, packages will range from albums, to printed pictures or to a CD that you can use to make your own wedding album. And most of them are much more expensive than they need to be.

But there are other places to make your own wedding memory book. If you don't choose to get an album from your photographer, you can still make your own Coffee Table quality Wedding Album from many wedding photo book printing services. A CD with the pictures will give you the best quality, but scanning your wedding photos is still certainly an option-- and a good idea if all you have is printed photos.

Our Favorite Priters for Buying
a Digital Photo Wedding Album Online

Many of the wedding photo book printers have samples on their sites. Here are some of our favorites with special Wedding Covers or Wedding Quality Pages to get you started:

Picaboo's Premium Flush Mount Wedding Photo Books

Wedding Album Picaboo was one of the first publishers to come out with a high quality wedding photo book format for wedding pictures.

The Pages and Photos. The flush mount books are said to be of the highest quality in the wedding album industry. These high quality wedding albums are printed on Kodak Endura silver halide paper and mounted to the page boards - they are not printed on pages like their photo books. These books are created using a completely different process and set of machines.

The Covers. Each book cover is genuine leather and comes in six colors. They come in two sizes - 11x8.5 and 14x11, both in landscape orientation. The book holds anywhere from 12 to 90 pages and the pages lay completely flat and extend across the entire page.

You can also add cover stamping to any Flush Mount Album. Two lines of text can be added at the lower right hand corner of the album in black, gold, silver or an emboss with no foil. Page edge gilding adds a special touch to the thick flush mount pages. You can choose from black, gold or silver edges.

Working with a Picaboo Wedding Specialist. When you place your order through Picaboo, one of their Wedding Product Specialists will review your book for photo quality, captions and backgrounds to ensure the highest quality printing possible. They will then contact you to obtain your preferences for your embossing on the front of the cover and your page edge gilding selection.

Our Opinion: These are the top of the line in wedding photo books... they're ULTRA nice. They're also very expensive, so are the best option for people looking for a premium wedding photo album. Fortunately, these wedding photo books come with a guarantee: if you are not completely satisfied with your album, Picaboo will refund your purchase.
