Make a Wedding Collage Using Wedding Photos

By Angela Crown

There are many creative possibilities when making a collage out of wedding photos. It can be a memento for yourself, guests from the wedding or memories to share with your family. Here are some ideas on how to go about this project.

If the collage is a gift for your parents maybe as a thank you to them think about what photos you are going to select for the collage. Do not just grab the left over photos that were not chosen for albums or frames. Collect together the images from guests and your photographer and think about your parents and what they would like to see, for example maybe a few friends and family. If it is for your grandparents you might think close family only. It is up to you but the selection so that there are not random strangers, is important.

Another nice idea if it is going to be an anniversary gift to your partner, is to collect pictures of you together that show your relationship developing. Old pictures of the first date, your first holiday together, wedding pictures, your first child and so on. When you gift it your partner will think it wonderful I promise, and you will both spend some precious moments together remembering the special times the photos depict.

Something more unusual to do would be to turn the collage into an activity and make a collage jigsaw puzzle! Then it is a great gift not just for adults but for children too. Just find an online service to upload your chosen photographs too like the first kiss, the first dance, cutting the cake and so on. They will then use them to make first a collage and then turn that collage into a puzzle of whatever size and difficulty you want. Usually prices run from eighty to two hundred and fifty dollars but this is something you will have to look into.

This is a crafting project you could do yourself but there are companies that can do a professional job for you. They have collages they have made for others available for you to view so you can see what your options are and then all you do is send them the digital photos you want them to use. If you have specific requests you let them know, otherwise they will come up with something for you.

Whatever you decide to do, do not throw away excess photos or just shove them in an album that never gets looked at! A collage makes a wonderful framed picture for anyone's house. - 30520
