Print your photos to honor your special day
By Amy Wright | Mar 9, 2022
When it comes to your wedding day, you probably paid a lot of attention to photography. From selecting the right person to capture your special moments, to the time you spent getting ready and actually taking a wide variety of shots. It’s likely that you dedicated a large portion of your budget and time to the pictures you’ll keep and remember forever.
But what happens to those photos after the wedding? It can be overwhelming for some couples to sort through hundreds or thousands of digital images and figure out the best way to display them. Which ones should you choose? Should you print on canvas, have them framed, or make a collage? Where should you display them in your home?
It may seem like a fine idea for now to keep your images digital, but having physical prints, in your home will remind you every day of the love you share, the joy you felt, and honors the time and energy you put into creating the wedding day of your dreams!
Ready to print those wedding photos now, but still not sure exactly where to start? Here are some of our favorite suggestions you can use to bring your wedding memories to life in your home.
Tell a story with a gallery wall
With framed prints, you can tell the story of your day with a beautiful gallery wall. Whether you choose to display this as your living room wall decor, in a stairwell, or in a bedroom, you can follow the story of your wedding day in pictures.
Include smaller frames of getting ready and posing with your attendants, add medium-sized scenes from your ceremony and reception, and focus on a statement centerpiece of your favorite image of just the two of you. Don’t forget the going-away shot of your friends and family waving you off as a married couple for the first time!
Make a statement with a couple’s portrait
Speaking of just the two of you, this was your wedding. So what better way to make a statement than with a large canvas print of you and your spouse? This type of piece makes an impressive addition to a mantle, entryway, home office, or even a master bedroom.
Honor friends and family in the guest room
What better place in your home to remember your friends and family than the space they call home when they come to visit? Your guests will love seeing themselves on display, and this is a great spot for a collage so everyone who celebrated you gets a chance to feel celebrated in return!
Get candid in small spaces
There’s a good chance you have tons of candid shots from your wedding day. These casual images of friends and family eating, drinking, dancing and celebrating your love make great small prints for bookshelves, display tables, and other smaller spots that are often forgotten as potential places to display art and wedding images.
Fill your home with these images of the love and joy that surrounded you on your wedding day and your home will be filled with love and joy as well.
Keep a private moment in a private spot
Did you share a special, personal moment during your wedding day that was just the two of you? Whether it was a first look, a first kiss, or a first dance, we love the idea of displaying that special picture in a place in your home where just the two of you will see it! After all, the moment belongs to just you, right? Consider the master bedroom, master closet, or even the master bathroom for a low-traffic display spot.
