Wedding Wednesday: Make A Memory With 12 Special Photo Albums

 

Weddings may have changed in style and scope the last year. But the desire to make a memory, and keep the love alive, continues. Even after you have forgotten how the wedding cake tasted, photos bring the memories flooding back.  This roundup of albums features a style and budget for every couple.

Magazine Luxe Linen Wedding Album 

A stunning album that has been professionally made to your specifications.

Albums Remembered

Personalized Photo Album

Isn't this attractive? Black and white is always right, and in this case, it is elegant, too. The scroll design is stunning.

Standard Hardcover Album

Nothing standard about this style, but it sure is classic. A professional designer will put together your book with photos you provide. I am shocked by the reasonable prices!

Velvet Photo Album

Shown in an elegant champagne velvet, this album is luxe to the max. It is available in five other stylish shades. This style happens to be engraved with the phrase. "From This Day Forward." It can also be personalized for an added cost. So lovely!

Claire Magnolia

Hand Bound Photo Books & Albums

It's hard to beat a silk covered album for luxury. They are perfect for weddings, new babies, and all of life's special events. I own one that I used as a scrapbook of my sweet pup, Armani. These books can be personalized, and are so very nice. And why not red?

Rag and Bone Bindery

Peonies Photo Book

By uploading photos, choosing a cover, customizing layouts and captions, you can create the most wonderful memory. Available in three sizes, all are under $70.

I just discovered this brand today, and it is a great source for the bride and groom. The choices of styles are both many and marvelous!

Velvet Corset Album

This chic corseted photo book is one of my favorites. The book itself is covered in a silky velvet. The pages are black and the whole look is so chic!

 Handmade Ruche Silk Album

Oh how lovely! This personalized album comes with its' own matching silk box. It's gorgeous. Handmade in the United Kingdom but ships to you for free.

Black Cat Bindery

Blush Silk Album

Such a beautiful blush pink! And the ribbon lacing adds the romance. You will put this one together yourself, and what fun it will be.
Rag and Bone Bindery

Lush Silk & Velvet Album

This amazing album has been handmade in Paris, France. That stunning silk ribbon is dyed to match the book. I say oui to this one!

Etsy

Personalised Velvet Photo Albums with Sleeves

Short on space? Or maybe you just like the idea of splitting your photos three ways. Think one book for "getting ready" photos, one for the ceremony, and one for the reception. These are quite chic and come in every color under the sun. This neutral colorway will match most home decor.

Bittersweet Chip Cookies: Make these cookies stat. They are the best Chocolate Chip Cookie that I have ever baked.  It bust be the brown butter you use. The best part is that you freeze the dough and make as many as you need or want at a time. 

If you do get snow this weekend, take a minute to look at the snowflakes with a child's eye. It's so interesting that they all come from the same sky, but each one falls a little differently. They have their own shapes and sizes, and every individual snowflake is beautiful. 
Think about that.
