Now that you’re prepared with the templates and assets that will help you create your best wedding photo book, it’s time to cover our most valuable wedding photo book tips. They aren’t universal, but they apply to nearly every wedding photo book we’ve come across, so keep them in mind as you put your book together. If they help improve your book, apply them!
As you fill your selected template with photos from your big day, try to keep your arrangement (mostly) chronological. Your photos should be grouped with other photos taken during the same part of your wedding: keep your getting ready photos together, your ceremony photos together, your reception photos together, and so on. This will create a natural flow in your book while preventing any jarring jumps from page to page. Your photos each supply context to the photos around them, and keeping photos in a chronological order allows you to aesthetically and appropriately tell your story. Afterall, the best wedding photo book is one that authentically and accurately tells the story of your day!
You’re bound to have hundreds of beloved photos following your wedding. This can make it difficult to resist filling every inch of your photo book with the pictures you love. But we’re here to insist: resist! Overcrowding your pages can quickly reduce your photo book from an elegant collection to a messy accumulation of images. With dozens of other ways to print your favorite photos, there’s no need to force them all into one book; Afterall, the best wedding photo book is meant to serve as a highlight reel of the special day, sparking memories of other small moments dear to your heart. Think of it as the photo book version of your wedding’s greatest hits!
Giving your photos room to breathe doesn’t mean ignoring your precious detail shots! You didn’t overlook the details of your wedding while planning it, so don’t overlook them in your photo book. Include images of the bouquet, the table settings, the dress, and the venue decorations. Not only will this help you remember the beauty of your wedding selections, but it will bring the aesthetic of your wedding to life. The cohesive colors of the bouquet, the bridesmaid dresses, the table décor and so on will tie the pages of your wedding photo book together.

While a lot of emphasis goes toward the design of your wedding book’s inner pages – and rightfully so! – the best wedding photo book will be designed intentionally from cover to cover. For example, if you know you want a wedding photo to be the cover of your photo book, don’t order your book with a leather or fabric cover. Alternatively, if you want your photo book to feel thick and luxurious when you hold it, our leather books are the perfect selection.
Choose the color, material, and title of your book with care. It’s the first thing you’ll see every time you settle in to flip through the pages of your favorite book.
As you create your wedding photo book, don’t forget who you’re making it for: you! The best wedding photo book is one that showcases all of the photos you and your spouse love the most. While you’ll want to show your wedding book to your friends, family, children, and future grandchildren, the hands that will be most frequently turning the pages of your book are those of you and your spouse.
