Top 10 Most Unique Wedding Scrapbook Ideas
Looking for a way to make your wedding scrapbook better than average? Here are the top 10 most unique wedding scrapbook ideas to add interest and pizzazz to the most popular scrapbooking theme:
1) Kids’ Quotes
Throughout your wedding scrapbook, let your pictures and children’s quotes about love and marriage tell your story.
There are a couple of ways to do this. You can plan ahead and put someone you trust in charge of interviewing the children at your wedding. Give them a series of questions to ask separate children.
You could also wait until after the wedding to collect your quotes. Go someplace where there are a lot of kids and perform interviews.
Feeling lazy?
Find adorable kid quotes online. For instance, here’s a quote from Mike, age 9, about what people do on a first date: “On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.”
Use the quotes to inspire pages in your wedding scrapbook.
2) Wedding Song
Write lines from you wedding song on each page of your wedding scrapbook. Let the words and sentiment of the song inspire the pages for an especially romantic scrapbook.
For instance, if your song is “At Last” by Etta James, your first page could simply have the words “At last…” accompanied by perhaps a picture of the bride and groom being announced for the first time as man and wife.
3) Wedding Colors
A simple way to bring continuity to your scrapbook is to only use shades of your chosen wedding colors.
Choose embellishments, pictures mattes, stickers, and even pen colors for journaling accordingly.
4) Emotions
Choosing a word that describes a single emotion can make your pages significant and interesting.
For instance, put the word “Anxious” at the top of the page above a picture of the groom waiting for his bride to walk down the aisle.
Journaling additional stories on each page is completely optional!
5) Chapters
Divide the scrapbook up like a novel with chapters. Here’s one straightforward idea:
Chapter 1: Before We Met
Chapter 2: Dating and Engagement
Chapter 3: Wedding
Chapter 4: Honeymoon
Create any kind of chapter titles you want. Be creative!
6) Fairy Tale
Tell a once upon a time story of your courtship and marriage.
Journal in the third person, telling the tale of how one princess met her prince or knight in shining armor. Don’t feel compelled to use Disney themes unless you want to: a fairy tale can be a whimsical, colorful story that can will across as sophisticated and beautiful when you choose gorgeous colors, pictures, and elegant embellishments.
7) Use only materials from your wedding in the scrapbook.
If you have saved everything from your wedding and don’t want to part with a thing, consider incorporating them exclusively in your wedding scrapbook.
Include your invitation, napkins, wedding program, name cards, wine labels, corks, color samples, dress fabrics, ribbons, pressed flowers, and favors to make your scrapbook the ultimate personal wedding keepsake.
Make duplicate copies of your flowers and cut to make your own bouquets scrapbook embellishments.
8) Focus on the pictures.
Choose a simple design that places the spotlight on the pictures.
If your pictures are bright and colorful, consider using muted, neutral backgrounds. Or, showcase gorgeous black and white photographs atop of vibrant and colorful backgrounds.
Either way, the eye will be drawn to a story in pictures.
9) Vintage
Create a timeless effect by choosing a vintage theme. Consider “aging” your photos by printing them in sepia tones or by tinting them.
Use vintage papers, classic quotes about love and marriage, and plenty of lace.
10) Music
Photocopy copies of the sheet music used in your wedding.
Remember to include processional music, any hymns or songs sung during the ceremony, recessional music, mother/son song and father/daughter song, as well as the first dance and any other reception music that was meaningful to you.
Use these copies as background in your wedding scrapbook.
