I am doing a gift scrapbook for my sister's wedding. I HAVE to get this done
by March 1st to get it to her by her 1st anniversary on March 18th :)

I'm looking for some ideas for wedding album layouts.... I was
wondering if any of you had some wedding albums completed that you could
share with me, or just some ideas!

The theme was daisies, The colors were yellow and white...For the album I am
sticking to pastel colors in yellow, blue and green..

I'd like to do some things with vellum, and mulberry paper I'm also
looking for good sayings or poems, or ideas for journaling.


Here are the picture groups I have for this album. I need some great layout
ideas for these pages. I also would like creative journaling ideas to fill in
later since I am giving her this album unjournaled with blank journal boxes for
her to fill in.


-Bride pictures (formal and candid) from after the wedding

-Groom pictures (formal and candid) from after the wedding...

-Bridesmaids

-Flower Gir land Ring Bearer

-Groomsmen

-Whole wedding party

-Processional

-"Here comes the Bride"

-Vows

-Rings

- You may kiss the bride-

-Posed Pictures of wedding party, bride and groom with Family and etc

-Receiving line

-People at the reception

-Cutting the cake

-toasts

-throwing the bouquet, tossing the garter

-The marriage certificate

-bridal shower at aunt's house with some funny gifts

-The rehearsal

-Getting ready for the wedding (hair, makeup, getting dressed)


Also since this is a gift album I am including some blank pages and some
already done pages without pictures for her to add to. I am using the CM
wedding album and pages. I also will include some glue and a acid free pen.
Anything else I should send to this non scrapper?

I also need a dedication poem from me to her saying this album is a gift

Any input would be great!

HI! It sounds like you've already done more than I did on teh wedding
album I gave to my sil for Christmas!! I htink your plans sound
wonderful!

(How do most of you ladies type late at night? My fingers simply
aren't working!)

Anyway, I stuck to two or three main colors, then used the same types
of embellishments on almost every page. Dunno...I liked it, and wasn't
sure what her style would be, so I kept it almost plain.

Somebody on here not long ago had a Photopoint wedding album that
was really neat....wanna share again? Yoohoo...are you out there?

Oh...it's time to go home and go to bed!

You can see a few of the pages I did for my best friend's wedding album
gift - I finished this album in about 3 hours (it was done the night of the
wedding and presented to the bride & groom the next morning at their goodbye
brunch). http://members.home.net/joana1n/scrapbook/erin. I used two Family
Treasures corner punches, the titles are done on the computer and printed
out and colored with Prismacolors, and the paper you see is KMA.

As soon as I get a chance, I'll scan and upload the 30+ pages I have done in
the last 3 weeks for my inlaws' gift album (to be completed NLT Sunday
evening!).

You've got PLENTY of time to get this album done, if you commit to a
schedule and then stick to it! Keep it simple, and you can get more done.
Wedding pics don't need a lot of embellishments, in my opinion. :-)

HTH!
Joana

Very nice pages. I love the title page with the heart wreath of flowers.
The flower girls are precious.
