Beautiful Wedding Scrapbook Ideas

If you're looking for wedding scrapbook ideas, you've come to the right place. A scrapbook for your wedding day should be something special and totally unique. It can include all kinds of things, from mementos of your relationship and engagement to signatures from your wedding guests. Here are some unique ways to craft a scrapbook that will be treasured for decades to come.

Find a scrapbook that suits you

There are loads of scrapbooks available in your local craft store and online. Look around for a while before choosing one. It's not necessary to spend a fortune on a scrapbook, but you should get one that's high quality. Make sure you can add or take out page covers as needed so that your scrapbook can be just the right length.

Talk to your fiancé to decide what you want out of a wedding scrapbook. Get something with a cover that will stand the test of time. You may also want to find something that fits the tone or theme of your wedding or even something in your wedding colours.

Find page backdrops

You can get gorgeous wedding and love themed craft paper from a craft store, but you can spend a fortune here, too. Before you buy any papers, look around at what you already have available for wedding scrapbook ideas. Some ideas include bridal magazine pages that you already have, your order of service, extra wedding invitations, or even newspaper pages that are dated with your wedding date. These things can make great backdrops or accents on your pages.

Include your guests

Some great wedding scrapbook ideas include putting your guests and friends in your scrapbook to reminisce about your wedding day later on. At your wedding, pass out little cards to your guests so they can write you advice or notes on your wedding day. Then, you can include the best advice next to pictures of the guests who wrote them. You can either pass out disposable cameras at your reception or have a few people assigned to take digital pictures of your guests so that you can use them in your scrapbook.

Embellish with meaningful words

Adding meaningful words to your scrapbook is a great way to personalize it. Some wedding scrapbook ideas include Bible verses about love and marriage or poems about love. You could also write out your wedding vows on one page, or include any readings that you had someone perform at your wedding.

Decorative elements

Of course, a scrapbook is just boring without a little extra decoration. There is tons of wedding scrapbook ideas to embellish your scrapbook with inexpensive decorations. Check out your local craft shop for tons of stickers, die cut shapes, and diamantes that you can use. You can also use scraps of fabric, buttons, bows, and other little trinkets that are actually from your wedding day.

Another option is to use dressy papers to make pages look more beautiful. Vellum paper is a great way to add personality to a page. Cut out strips to use as borders, or cover a whole sheet with vellum for a dreamy look. You can even get sparkly papers or papers with designs on them that are great for wedding scrapbooks.

Add in mementos and pictures from the big day

A wedding scrapbook is a place to collect all your pictures and mementos from your wedding day. Throughout the day, assign some bridesmaids to collect little things you can put in your scrapbook. You might add in personalised napkins, notes for the groom's or father's speech, confetti, ribbons from the flower arrangements, or even pressed flowers.

After the wedding, you can work on adding other mementos. You might put in a few pages of things from when you met - tickets to concerts and movies, postcards from places you've been together, etc. Don't forget to collect items from your honeymoon, too! Your wedding scrapbook will be even better if it has some pages from your honeymoon.

Pictures are also important. Before the big day, make a list of pictures you'd like your photographer to take. You'll want the traditional photos of the couple and wedding party. You may also want some still-life type photos of things like the bridal bouquet, your two wedding rings, and the venue before anyone arrives.

These wedding scrapbook ideas will help you get started. It will take time to craft your beautiful scrapbook, but it's a really fun project. As you put together pages, you and your new husband can take time to remember what it was like when you first met, as you planned your wedding, and as you went through the best day of your life.
