Storing and presenting your wedding photos after the wedding day may possibly be a big priority for the bride and groom. Spending a little bit of time to choosing the correct photo frame or engraved frames to store your wedding photos properly will ensure that the memories from your wedding day are well preserved and well protected for many years to follow. We are giving you a few easy steps that would be useful to follow in order to obtain the perfect
wedding frames for your wedding photos.
Step 1:
In order to get started you need to know the size of your wedding photographs; photos come in range of sizes including landscape and portrait layouts. Check to see if your photos are 4 x 6, 8 x 10, 5 x 7, A4 portrait, or 6 x 4, 10 x 8, 7 x 5 or A4 landscape (as well as other sizes) – this will save you a lot of time and effort in terms of cutting up your pictures when it comes to placing your photos inside the
wedding frames!
Step 2:
Another thing to consider when getting your wedding photos printed is to have them done with a matt finish; this will give your pictures a great look. You can get this matt finish in most photography stores or other places where you are able to get your photos developed.
Step 3: Once your photographs are printed and you are happy that you know the size, it is time to buy your wedding frames – this can be done by visiting many high street shops, as well as online wedding gifts shops that sell
wedding frames (which are where you will find the most fabulous selections dedicated to weddings).
Step 4:
Once you have selected your wedding frame, it’s time to consider protecting your wedding photographs with frames that use ultraviolet (UV) protected glass. This is not always something that comes as standard with picture frames however. UV protected glass will help protect your special photos from fading or yellowing over time due to exposure of UV rays from sunlight and even indoor light. Professional photography shops in your area are likely to carry these types of frames, but if not, you can also have this glass specially cut for you at hardware stores, or once again consider buying online.
Step 5:
For an extra special touch, have your wedding frame engraved with a personalised message, such as the names of the bride and groom and the date of the wedding to add a personal touch. Some online wedding gifts shops offer this service as part of the purchase of your wedding photo frame.
Step 6:
Frame a wedding photo as a gift for each of the members of your wedding party as a way of expressing your gratitude. If possible, find a photo with you and the member of the wedding party together at the event to make really special
personalised wedding gifts. Another fantastic idea, would be to get engraved photo frames as wedding gifts for the bride and groom.
