Making a scrapbook for your wedding is a great idea.
It is a lot of fun, and it is the best way to make your memories last for generations. If you have a little time and a little creativity, you should make your own scrapbook.
If you have never made one and you are not sure where to start, here are a few ideas and tips.
I know a few things about scrapbooks in the retro style: I had many friends who shared their vintage wedding scrapbook ideas with me after their wedding.
To make the scrapbook look vintage you should change the photos with a software like Photoshop into black and white or sepia.
It is always a good idea to add photos that guests or your family made. Photographs made by photographers are nice too, but they fit more into frames, not into a scrapbook. Spontaneous photos can be much nicer anyway, because they can truly capture the most special moments of the wedding. For this many couples buy disposable cameras and place one on each table: this way everybody has the chance to take a photo.
To have a beautiful scrapbook you should look for scrapbook layouts. Check out the internet! There you can find layouts in many styles, in vintage and antique as well. Adding decorations to the scrapbook is the best way to give it that retro look. Sheet music, old paper and ribbons are the best decorations and they are easy to get.
The coloring of your scrapbook is also important. For a vintage scrapbook you can choose from several colors: brown, cream, jade green, or black and white. Black and white stripes and dots are also very vintage, and so are various floral patterns. If you use these as a background for photos in the scrapbook, you will achieve the retro look easily.You can find the best deals on Ebay.
