Scrapbooking wedding album: the main stages of creation

In our age of modern technology, gifts made with their own hands become increasingly valuable. A few years ago no one imagined what scrapbooking was. A wedding album, a photo of lovers, a video of the celebration - all this, of course, was, but very standard, without any individuality. And now more and more popular is gaining such a creative direction as scrapbooking, which in translation means "book of scrapbooks". Working in this technique is not so easy, but the result, no doubt, is worth it. Scrapbooking the wedding album consists of several stages.

If you have them also in electronic form, then you can process them in the computer program "Photoshop", cropping or blurring unnecessary details, to give the effect of aging, to create a uniform style for all.

The original photos will look not only portrait photos, but also landscape sketches, as well as pictures of various details of the celebration (rings, bridal bouquet , etc.). Dynamic images, unexpected shots are sure to revive the wedding album. Scrapbooking involves creating a mini-story on one page. Therefore, you need to determine the theme and the number of photos on each spread of the album.

For example, it is possible to highlight on each page a separate stage of a wedding day or, conversely, to devote a separate turn to each person. The correct solution is to place one big main photo and a few small ones that reveal the content.
