In our century of modern technology, DIY gifts are becoming increasingly valuable. Until a few years ago, no one imagined
what scrapbooking was. A wedding album, photos of lovers, a video of the celebration - all this, of course, was, but very standard, without any personality. And now, such a creative direction as scrapbooking is gaining popularity, which means "book from clippings." Working in this technique is not so simple, but the result, no doubt, is worth it. Scrapbooking a wedding album consists of several stages.
Selection of photos and the order of their placement in the album
Firstly, you need to pick up photos for the album. It should be the most beautiful, high-quality, original copies without any technical flaws. If you also have them in electronic form, then you can process them in the computer program "Photoshop", cutting or blurring unnecessary details, give the effect of aging, create a unified style for everyone.
Not only portrait photographs, but also landscape sketches, as well as pictures of various details of the celebration (rings, a bride’s bouquet , etc.) will look original in the album. Dynamic pictures, unexpected shots will surely revive the wedding album. Scrapbooking involves creating a mini page on one page. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the subject and the number of photos on each page of the album.
For example, on each page you can highlight a separate stage of the wedding day or, conversely, devote a separate spread to each person. The right decision would be to post one large main photo and several small, revealing content. At the same time, it is not necessary to arrange all the specimens clearly at an angle of 90 °, you can place them diagonally, at a slight slope, in a chaotic order, etc.
Scrapbook format and color selection

Today, the stores offer a wide selection of albums where everyone can find something suitable. This glossy white sheets, and plastic pockets for photos, and a simple cardboard embedded in files. The most practical options are with different types of sheets.
Making scrapbooking of the wedding album, when choosing a color scheme, it is better to give preference to pastel colors: pearl white, peach, pale pink, ivory.
Making inscriptions
