<p>We know you&#8217;re excited to share your gorgeous wedding photos with friends and family. Now, how are you going to do it? There are so many options out there! From an ultra-modern digital wedding photo frame that will display all of your favorite shots on one little device, to an old-fashioned, cloth-bound book with black and white photos and handwritten memories&#8230; Here&#8217;s a collection of ideas designed to inspire you so that you can find the perfect way to show off your photos.</p>
<h2>1. Use an Online Service</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31023" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31023" style="width: 820px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31023" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/order-online.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 9" width="830" height="552" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 10" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/order-online.jpg 830w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/order-online-300x200.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/order-online-768x511.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/order-online-750x500.jpg 750w" sizes="(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31023" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://fizara.com/blog/10-design-tips-flawless-wedding-album/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fizara.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>If you hire a wedding photographer, arrange to purchase the digital files of your photos. Next, choose an online site that will take those files and (miraculously) turn them into a gorgeous, bound album. There are many sites to choose from, including pikperfect, artifact uprising, milk photos, shutterfly (bet you&#8217;ve heard of that one!), and mix book. If you&#8217;re not sure which site to choose, make a short list of what you are looking for before you start browsing. Include your price range (albums can range from tens to hundreds of dollars!), whether you want hard or soft cover, and the size you&#8217;re looking for. Then start shopping around.</p>
<h2>2. Create a Social Media Album</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31024" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31024" style="width: 618px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31024" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/facebook-album.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 11" width="628" height="414" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 12" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/facebook-album.jpg 628w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/facebook-album-300x198.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31024" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://floranext.com/book-more-weddings-6-tips-for-flower-shop-owners/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">floranext.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;re looking for a way to show off your photos to everyone &#8212; not just those who will pick up a physical album. You want your long-lost elementary school friends, your work buddies, and your parent&#8217;s friends to see the shots that you&#8217;re so proud of. If that&#8217;s the case, share an album on social media.</p>
<h2>3. Make a Slideshow</h2>
<p><a href="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wedding-6/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-31025" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/wedding_1572454367-1024x682.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 13" width="1024" height="682" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 14" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/wedding_1572454367-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/wedding_1572454367-300x200.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/wedding_1572454367-768x512.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/wedding_1572454367.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></p>
<p>Another option for your digital pictures is to create a slideshow. Slideshows are fun because you get to add music to the background, and create a movie-like experience, similar to if you <a href="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wedding-videos/">hired a video company</a>, as each image flashes before the viewer&#8217;s eyes.</p>
<h2>4. Order a Professionally Designed Coffee Table Book</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31026" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31026" style="width: 1014px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-31026" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/coffee-table-1024x683.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 15" width="1024" height="683" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 16" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/coffee-table-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/coffee-table-300x200.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/coffee-table-768x512.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/coffee-table-750x500.jpg 750w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/coffee-table.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31026" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://twoirises.com/coffee-table-book/coffeetablebook-web10/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">twoirises.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>Take your album to the next level by making it look like a coffee table book. The large size, high quality paper, and gorgeous page lay-outs will make this book really stand out. Leave it out on the coffee table so that when you entertain, your guests will have a chance to flip through and appreciate your special day.</p>
<h2>5. Upload to a Photo Sharing Site</h2>
<p><a href="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wedding-7/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-31027" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/wedding_1572454881-1024x682.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 17" width="1024" height="682" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 18" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/wedding_1572454881-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/wedding_1572454881-300x200.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/wedding_1572454881-768x512.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/wedding_1572454881.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></p>
<p>Photo sharing websites are so convenient! Have you heard of this? These are websites that allow you to upload your files and share them with friends and family. An example is flickr, and there are many more. Just search for &#8216;photo sharing websites&#8217; and you&#8217;ll see them pop up! Instead of wasting time uploading high resolution photos into email or sending photos tediously through messages on your phone, you can create one album in the cloud, and then share it with your loved ones.</p>
<h2>6. DIY Spiral-bound Book</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31028" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31028" style="width: 490px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31028" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/diy-black-and-white.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 19" width="500" height="423" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 20" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/diy-black-and-white.jpg 500w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/diy-black-and-white-300x254.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31028" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://albumtopusa.blogspot.com/2019/08/best-black-12x12-inch-diy-scrapbook.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">albumtopusa.blogspot.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>Are you looking forward to being &#8216;hands on&#8217; with your album? Break out the scissors and glue, and create a lovely spiral bound album filled with your favorite pictures. Choose a them for your book (perhaps stick with the theme of your wedding!) and stick to it as you design the overall look an each page. Start with a spiral-bound sketchbook with heavy paper for your foundation, and build up from there.</p>
<h2>7. &#8220;Exploding Box&#8221; Album</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31030" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31030" style="width: 560px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31030" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/exploding-box-album.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 21" width="570" height="570" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 22" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/exploding-box-album.jpg 570w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/exploding-box-album-150x150.jpg 150w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/exploding-box-album-300x300.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/exploding-box-album-400x400.jpg 400w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/exploding-box-album-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31030" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/nz/listing/649442087/ebg-exploding-boxpaper-product-album" target="_blank" rel="noopener">etsy.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>If you&#8217;re super crafty, you can make an album that opens up from the center. This is not a DIY project for the faint of heart! Expect to spend hours measuring, cutting, and arranging each piece of the puzzle. The end result is well worth it, because you&#8217;ll have a unique album that&#8217;s fun and exciting to open up every time.</p>
<h2>8. Narrate Your Story With Text</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31033" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31033" style="width: 790px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31033" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/wedding-album-with-text.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 23" width="800" height="800" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 24" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/wedding-album-with-text.jpg 800w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/wedding-album-with-text-150x150.jpg 150w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/wedding-album-with-text-300x300.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/wedding-album-with-text-768x768.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/wedding-album-with-text-400x400.jpg 400w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/wedding-album-with-text-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31033" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="http://www.jervysantiagophotography.com/products/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">jervysantiagophotography.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>Yes, a picture says a thousand words&#8230; but you might also want to include some actual words in your album. Whether that means typing up a narration of your day and including it in your DIY creation, or typing text into your digital layouts &#8212; that&#8217;s up to you. The idea is to weave your story in with your pictures. You might even start with the day you met the love of your life, or the day you were engaged. What were you wearing, eating, feeling, or seeing? What funny or sentimental memories do you want to capture. Write them down and include them in your album.</p>
<h2>9. Digital Wedding Photo Frame</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31032" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31032" style="width: 680px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31032" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Joy-Album-feature.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 25" width="690" height="460" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 26" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Joy-Album-feature.jpg 690w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Joy-Album-feature-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31032" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://coolmomtech.com/2016/11/joy-interactive-digital-photo-album/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coolmomtech.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>We&#8217;re all familiar with photo frames that display one image. What if one frame could display dozens of images? That&#8217;s what a digital photo frame can do. Talk about saving space! This is perfect for those of us with a minimalist mindset.</p>
<h2>10. DIY Scrapbook Style</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31034" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31034" style="width: 630px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31034" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/scrapbook.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 27" width="640" height="332" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 28" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/scrapbook.jpg 640w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/scrapbook-300x156.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31034" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://www.thinkingcloset.com/2013/06/22/a-non-scrapbookers-guide-to-creating-a-wedding-scrapbook/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">thinkingcloset.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>Even if you&#8217;ve never tried scrap booking, you&#8217;ll likely have fun with this type of album. You don&#8217;t have to be passionate about paper crafts, we promise! All you need is a little time, a few fun decorative materials, and an album to fill with printed photos. Be selective about which images you include.</p>
<h2>11. Crowdsource It!</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31035" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31035" style="width: 990px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31035" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/oh-snap.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 29" width="1000" height="1000" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 30" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/oh-snap.jpg 1000w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/oh-snap-150x150.jpg 150w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/oh-snap-300x300.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/oh-snap-768x768.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/oh-snap-400x400.jpg 400w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/oh-snap-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31035" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://www.hitched.co.uk/wedding-planning/organising-and-planning/wedding-hashtags/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hitched.co.uk</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>Remember the days when it was popular to put disposable cameras out  at each table, at wedding receptions? These days, guests carry phones, so digital photos aren&#8217;t necessary for capturing those candid shots. But how is a bride supposed to wrangle all those hilarious candid shots? One way is to crowdsource the effort. Have guests snap away, and then share on social media along with a specific hashtag.</p>
<h2>12. Make a Memory Box</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31036" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31036" style="width: 588px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31036" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/memory-box.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 31" width="598" height="752" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 32" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/memory-box.jpg 598w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/memory-box-239x300.jpg 239w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31036" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="http://alliesiarto.com/memory-boxes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alliesiarto.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>A memory box is a just what it sounds like &#8212; a box of some of your most precious memories! Some professional wedding photographers will offer this option, so check with yours to see if it&#8217;s possible. You could also make your own memory box. Get creative!</p>
<h2>13. Rustic Wooden Photo Box</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31037" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31037" style="width: 1014px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-31037" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/photo-box-1024x684.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 33" width="1024" height="684" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 34" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/photo-box.jpg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/photo-box-300x200.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/photo-box-768x513.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/photo-box-750x500.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31037" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://foxharephoto.com/custom-photo-boxes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">foxharephoto.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>If you had a <a href="http://sweetvioletbride.com/rustic-diy-wedding/">rustic wedding</a>, a wooden photo box could be a nice fit for you. Break out the box when you want to relive your day with those close to you &#8212; or even if you&#8217;re alone and in the mood for reminiscing!</p>
<h2>14. Unbound Photo Album</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31038" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31038" style="width: 554px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31038" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/unbound.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 35" width="564" height="766" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 36" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/unbound.jpg 564w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/unbound-221x300.jpg 221w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31038" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/351351208409907433/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pinterest.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>You can order an unbound album online or from your photographer, or make one yourself. With this format, instead of flipping pages of an album, you will be able to hold each photo individually. This is great if you happen to want to share pictures with a big group. Instead of a stack of loose photos, though, the unbound album has a cohesive, unified feel to it. Each photo can be framed and presented in a way that makes it fit in perfectly with the others in the collection.</p>
<h2>15. Quirky Playing Cards</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31029" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31029" style="width: 490px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31029" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cards.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 37" width="500" height="500" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 38" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cards.jpg 500w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cards-150x150.jpg 150w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cards-300x300.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cards-400x400.jpg 400w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cards-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31029" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/703757879255085157/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pinterest.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>Are you a fan of playing cards? You can order cards with your pictures printed on the back. When you break out the deck for a game of Hearts on your next camping trip, you&#8217;ll get to share your treasured memories with whoever happens to be around the table.</p>
<h2>16. Magnets on Display</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31039" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31039" style="width: 400px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31039" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/magnets.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 39" width="410" height="308" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 40" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/magnets.jpg 410w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/magnets-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31039" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://www.photobox.co.uk/shop/gifts-objects/photo-magnets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">photobox.co.uk</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>Line up a parade of your wedding photographs on the refrigerator, or send a few of these fridge magnets to your parents or grandparents. This is a fun way to think outside of the box when it comes to sharing your pictures.</p>
<h2>17. On The Wall: Collage</h2>
<figure id="attachment_31040" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-31040" style="width: 554px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-31040" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/collage.jpg" alt="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 41" width="564" height="564" title="17 Creative Wedding Album Ideas: Enjoy and Share Your Fave Photos! 42" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/collage.jpg 564w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/collage-150x150.jpg 150w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/collage-300x300.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/collage-400x400.jpg 400w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/collage-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-31040" class="wp-caption-text">Source: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/641129696935425851/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pinterest.com</a></figcaption></figure>
<p>Your album doesn&#8217;t necessarily need to be formatted like a book. How about arranging ten to twenty photos in collage format, and framing them on the wall?</p>
<p>Now that you&#8217;ve seen many different ways to show off your favorite photos, are you feeling excited? How are you going to share your wedding photos? Answer in the comments section below!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rejoice, nature-loving sweethearts! We’ve got the perfect inspiration to woo all your worries. Straight out from shooing away all your planning blues, it is our delightful duty to make sure you make fashion-forward choices especially if you’re planning to pull off a nature-inspired engagement shoot. Keeping up with the latest trends is more than just choosing the best <a href="https://www.miadonna.com/collections/engagement-rings?utm_source=SweetVioletBride&amp;utm_medium=SponsorContent&amp;utm_campaign=August2019" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">nature-inspired engagement ring</a>. A big chunk of it revolves around the details in styling and options in planning that makes it challenging and exciting at the same time. Well, not prolonging it further, here’s how you can pull off a nature-inspired engagement shoot in 2019.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30820 size-full" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/edward-cisneros-FihvaSFXta0-unsplash.jpg" alt="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 55" width="1200" height="800" title="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 56" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/edward-cisneros-FihvaSFXta0-unsplash.jpg 1200w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/edward-cisneros-FihvaSFXta0-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/edward-cisneros-FihvaSFXta0-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/edward-cisneros-FihvaSFXta0-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/edward-cisneros-FihvaSFXta0-unsplash-750x500.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<h2>Shoot it Locally!</h2>
<p>While there’s nothing wrong with opting for a tropical destination to really immerse in the beauty of nature, we felt it would be more personal and practical if you choose a place near your location.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30815 size-full" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/adult-beautiful-blur-219776.jpg" alt="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 57" width="1200" height="800" title="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 58" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/adult-beautiful-blur-219776.jpg 1200w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/adult-beautiful-blur-219776-300x200.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/adult-beautiful-blur-219776-768x512.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/adult-beautiful-blur-219776-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/adult-beautiful-blur-219776-750x500.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>Explore local sites! This way you could experience the beauty of nature, save a ton from traveling costs, spare yourselves from stress while promoting local sites. A simple way to actually be nature-friendly and still achieve a beautiful experience.</p>
<h2><strong>Choose a Nature-inspired Engagement Ring</strong></h2>
<p>One of the challenges in themed shoots is incorporating the concept into the details- and what better way to integrate this motif than through the nature-inspired engagement rings. <a href="http://sweetvioletbride.com/floral-inspired-engagement-rings/">Floral accents and nature-inspired patterns</a> would simply do the trick! From minimalist designs to fancy pieces, <a href="http://sweetvioletbride.com/10-beautiful-nature-inspired-engagement-rings/">nature-inspired engagement rings</a> will surely be the statement that will highlight the whole engagement shoot.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30814 size-full" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings.jpg" alt="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 59" width="1200" height="1200" title="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 60" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings.jpg 1200w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-150x150.jpg 150w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-300x300.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-768x768.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-400x400.jpg 400w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>Be truly one with nature and opt for engagement rings with <a href="https://www.miadonna.com/pages/stone-guide-lab-grown-diamonds?utm_source=SweetVioletBride&amp;utm_medium=SponsorContent&amp;utm_campaign=August2019" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">lab-grown diamonds</a>. This way you&#8217;re guaranteed that what you&#8217;re wearing is conflict-free and crafted without negatively impacting the environment and its native communities &#8211; upholding the true essence of being inspired by nature!</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30813 size-full" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-2.jpg" alt="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 61" width="1200" height="1200" title="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 62" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-2.jpg 1200w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-2-400x400.jpg 400w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/nature-themed-rings-2-125x125.jpg 125w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<h2><strong>Wear Nothing Fancy</strong></h2>
<p>Set your wardrobe that both of you can relate to- but wear nothing fancy. Since we are highlighting nature and your engagement, wearing something extra would take away the whole concept of the shoot. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30819 size-full" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/clarisse-meyer-fycGoHbA_s0-unsplash.jpg" alt="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 63" width="1200" height="800" title="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 64" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/clarisse-meyer-fycGoHbA_s0-unsplash.jpg 1200w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/clarisse-meyer-fycGoHbA_s0-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/clarisse-meyer-fycGoHbA_s0-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/clarisse-meyer-fycGoHbA_s0-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/clarisse-meyer-fycGoHbA_s0-unsplash-750x500.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>You can say that there’s nothing wrong with wearing something elegant, but keep in mind that something EXTRA would overshadow the beauty that you’re aiming for. You can wear a floral dress and comfortable sandals and still have gorgeous shots.</p>
<h2>Enjoy Nature!</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30817 size-full" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/andrew-welch-zlCBa86QJs8-unsplash.jpg" alt="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 65" width="1200" height="800" title="Here’s How You Can Pull Off a Nature-inspired Engagement Shoot 66" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/andrew-welch-zlCBa86QJs8-unsplash.jpg 1200w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/andrew-welch-zlCBa86QJs8-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/andrew-welch-zlCBa86QJs8-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/andrew-welch-zlCBa86QJs8-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/andrew-welch-zlCBa86QJs8-unsplash-750x500.jpg 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>The best thing about nature-themed shoots? Experiencing nature! And opting to make it as your engagement concept is beautiful in itself! The whole experience in opting for this concept isn’t all about having floral patterned outfits, nature-inspired décor and nature-friendly options, it is all about enjoying the beauty of nature and experiencing its simple charm which truly makes your engagement shoot unforgettable.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Regina lived just outside of Chicago but enjoyed going to the city on weekends when she was off work. She liked having the option to explore the city, but still live removed from the rush of daily city traffic and noise.</p>
<p>“I always loved the energy of Chicago,” Regina said. “It was sort of by accident that I ended up living so close; it was the most convenient place to live because of work, and it just so happened that I fell in love with all the excitement and action of the city.”</p>
<p>When things slowed down at work and Regina had a week off during the summer, she decided to explore Chicago in more detail. Even after living in the area for a few years, she still felt as though she had only scratched the surface of places to see in the city.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30783 size-full" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/123.jpg" alt="Find Photographers in Your Area in Chicago to See the City like Never Before 71" width="709" height="400" title="Find Photographers in Your Area in Chicago to See the City like Never Before 72" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/123.jpg 709w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/123-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px" /></p>
<p>“Chicago is just so big, which is what I like about it,” Regina explained. “There’s always something new, and even when you think you’ve seen it all, there’s something new to surprise you. For my one week break, I decided to <a href="https://www.localgrapher.com/photographers-chicago/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">find photographers in my area in Chicago</a> to do a photoshoot as well. It seemed like a good way to commemorate my time living here, and I would have the benefit of having a local with me who could suggest places to go.”</p>
<p>For the first day of her exploration of Chicago, Regina decided to visit the Chicago Institute of Art. She had been to the museum a few times in the past, but never had enough time to really look at the displays in detail. A huge fan of Impressionist artwork, Regina enjoyed looking through the galleries and seeing masterpieces by artists like Van Gogh and Monet.</p>
<p>The photographer in Chicago had agreed to meet Regina in Millennium Park. This was another place Regina had been occasionally but never stopped to appreciate. The photographer described it as a favorite spot in Chicago since it was both <a href="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wedding-photographer/">iconic and unique</a>.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-30784 size-full" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1234.jpg" alt="Find Photographers in Your Area in Chicago to See the City like Never Before 73" width="1170" height="660" title="Find Photographers in Your Area in Chicago to See the City like Never Before 74" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1234.jpg 1170w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1234-300x169.jpg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1234-768x433.jpg 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/1234-1024x578.jpg 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px" /></p>
<p>“I was happy that I found the photographer from Localgrapher,” said Regina. “I knew a lot about Chicago, but doing the photoshoot felt like I had the opportunity to see things from a new perspective too. I think anyone could find photographers in your area in Chicago to do something similar; the photoshoot was a lot of fun and gave me a fresh look at the city.”</p>
<p>Regina and the photographer did some classic shots with the famous “Bean” of Millennium Park and then walked around to a few other locations the photographer suggested for pictures of the city. With the skyline of Chicago in the background, Regina knew that her photographs would capture the <a href="http://sweetvioletbride.com/choosing-wedding-photos/">special qualities</a> she had come to appreciate so much about the place she lived. Even though she wasn’t traveling or planning a long trip, her week break and adventures in Chicago ended up feeling like a vacation too and made her grateful to live so close to a vibrant and fun city like Chicago.</p>

<p>You might also want to explore the option of taking multiple photos and using a tool like Adobe&#8217;s Combine Images Tool to <a href="https://www.adobe.com/express/feature/image/combine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">merge images</a> together. This approach could add a dynamic and creative touch to the wedding photo shoot, allowing for the capture of different moments and perspectives within a single frame. By incorporating this technique, you can further enhance the visual storytelling of the wedding celebration.</p>
<p>There are so many things you can do to make those (sometimes dreadful) hours-long wedding shoots more bearable, from changing up your backdrop to striking a funny pose. Here are some of the best ideas for those who want to try something brand-new during their wedding photo shoot.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-33285" src="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-3.jpeg" width="1200" height="800" alt="Strike a Pose: 15 Fun Wedding Party Photo Ideas 87" title="Strike a Pose: 15 Fun Wedding Party Photo Ideas 88" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-3.jpeg 1200w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-3-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-3-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-3-768x512.jpeg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Voguing from Above: Drone Photos</strong> — If you’re getting married at a particularly cool venue — such as on the beach, at a historic estate, in a sprawling cornfield or in the middle of an urban oasis — then you can’t go wrong when you zoom out to the extreme <a href="https://www.hitched.co.uk/wedding-planning/photography/drone-wedding-photography_1150.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with the help of a drone</a>. Have your bridal party wave or stand in a cool formation to capture the effect from above.</li>
<li><strong>Play with Props: Make Funny or Cute Signs</strong> — They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but you can make it worth a thousand-plus with some cute photo signs. Have your bridal party members hold chalkboards indicating their relationship to you — i.e., new sister, college roomie, etc. — or ask them to hold signs with funny phrases.</li>
<li><strong>Get Up-Close and Personal: Detail Shots</strong> — In addition to their dresses and suits, the bridal crew probably put a whole lot of thought into their <a href="https://dessy.com/gifts-accessories/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wedding day accessories and finishing touches</a>, like elaborate, matching manicures, pretty pieces of jewelry, hidden temp tats or novelty socks. Whatever it is, make sure your photographer captures every little detail.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-33286 aligncenter" src="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-1-1.jpeg" width="1000" height="667" alt="Strike a Pose: 15 Fun Wedding Party Photo Ideas 89" title="Strike a Pose: 15 Fun Wedding Party Photo Ideas 90" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-1-1.jpeg 1000w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-1-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-1-1-768x512.jpeg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></li>
<li><strong>Pose with Pets: Invite Your Furry Family Members</strong> — Who says you can’t have a best dog or a dog of honor? Even if your pup isn’t an official member of the bridal party, let him <a href="https://junebugweddings.com/wedding-blog/the-best-dog-wedding-attire-and-accessories-on-etsy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">make a few cameos in a matching outfit</a>. Because nothing makes bridesmaids and groomsmen smile bigger (and more naturally) than a pet wearing a tuxedo or a bowtie.</li>
<li><strong>Not the Straight-and-Narrow</strong>: <strong>Unique Positions</strong> — Of course, having your best girls and guys line up for one or two group pics is essential, but you don’t always have to take the linear approach. Ask your photog to position you at different distances from the camera to create a unique, dimensional look.</li>
<li><strong>All Dolled Up: Fun Getting Ready Photos — </strong>Bust out the champagne, don your bridesmaid robes and crack a smile! No wedding day shoot is complete without shots of all the girls getting dolled up, and you can make it extra fun with pics of your girls jumping on the bed, applying lip gloss and clinking mimosa glasses.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-33287" src="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-2-2.jpeg" width="1200" height="806" alt="Strike a Pose: 15 Fun Wedding Party Photo Ideas 91" title="Strike a Pose: 15 Fun Wedding Party Photo Ideas 92" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-2-2.jpeg 1200w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-2-2-300x202.jpeg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-2-2-1024x688.jpeg 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-2-2-768x516.jpeg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></li>
<li><strong>Add Texture to the Backdrop:</strong> <strong>Barns, Bricks and Beyond — </strong>Something as simple as adjusting the background of your photo can make a huge difference in the aesthetic and vibe it portrays. Play with fun backdrops, like barn wood, bricks, shrubs, drapery or even paper printed with a unique pattern.</li>
<li><strong>Getting Active: Posed Activity Shots</strong> — Mixing up a cocktail in the dressing room, shooting hoops outside the venue, hitting golf balls in a tux, walking the dog in a wedding dress: There’s something super cool about watching people dressed in formal attire do everyday activities, and it also makes great pics.</li>
<li><strong>Gender</strong>&#8211;<strong>Benders: Undoing Stereotypes</strong> — It’s your wedding and your rules! Playing with the typical gendered photos can be a fun way to add an unconventional feel to your wedding pics. Have the girls pick up the groom or ask the guys to hold the bouquets for a group pic. Don’t forget to ask the guys to do the typical bridesmaid jump photo, too!</li>
<li><strong>Get a Little Irreverent: Stop by the Bar</strong> — Rowdy bridal parties will definitely want to get a few snapshots of the group imbibing at the bar during or before the wedding. Have your ladies or gents line up at the bar and chug from a bottle or take a shot for a fun, irreverent snap.</li>
<li><strong>Keep it Candid: Skip the Posy Pics</strong> — Noticing a trend? The biggest shift in wedding photography in the past few years has been a preference for fewer posed photos. Sure, you’ve got to have your requisite group pics, but it seems that everyone prefers the more candid wedding photos nowadays. Have your photog keep the shutter clicking even when you’re not posed.</li>
<li><strong>Totally Magical</strong>: <strong>Toss Some Confetti</strong> — Pop a confetti canon and have your photographer snap away! You can also have someone who’s not in the shot throw confetti, glitter or fake snow to create that cool snow globe effect. Have all the guys and gals smile, blow a kiss or jump while the photographer snaps.</li>
<li><strong>L-O-V-E: Spell Something Cute</strong> — You’d be surprised to find how many different words you can spell just from posing your arms in a certain way. L-O-V-E, I-D-O or O-H-I-O (for all you Buckeyes fans out there). Have your crew send a big message with some fun letter poses that play into your theme or sentiment.</li>
<li><strong>But First: Let Me Take A (Professional) Selfie </strong>—<strong> </strong>In effect, selfies are the exact opposite of professionally staged wedding photos. They’re messy, silly and off-the-cuff. But that’s what makes them special! Have your photographer lend you the camera for a group selfie like no other.<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-33288 aligncenter" src="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-3-1.jpeg" width="1000" height="666" alt="Strike a Pose: 15 Fun Wedding Party Photo Ideas 93" title="Strike a Pose: 15 Fun Wedding Party Photo Ideas 94" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-3-1.jpeg 1000w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-3-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/word-image-3-1-768x511.jpeg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></li>
<li><strong>Watch Them Gasp: Reaction Photos</strong> — One of the best parts about the wedding day is watching everyone react to seeing the bride in her gown. Have your photographer create “first looks” with your bridesmaids, groomsmen and even your parents and ask her to shoot their reactions.</li>
<li><strong>Themed Photo Shoots — </strong>Consider incorporating a themed photo shoot into your wedding day, such as a vintage-inspired session, a fairytale-themed shoot, or a glamorous Hollywood-inspired photo session. This can add a unique and personalized touch to your wedding album.</li>
<li><strong>Nighttime Shoot —</strong> Embrace the romance of the evening by arranging for a nighttime photo shoot. Utilize creative lighting techniques, such as fairy lights, lanterns, or sparklers, to capture stunning and atmospheric images under the stars.</li>
</ol>
<p><a id="post-30527-_30j0zll"></a><strong>Capturing the Love</strong></p>
<p>The goal of any good wedding day shoot should be to capture the essence of the day, and that usually means a whole lot of love. Your photographer wants to immortalize the tenderness you feel with your new spouse, but also the special bond that exists between you and your closest friends. A little bit of planning will help bring that to life even more!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting times in a bride’s life. You&#8217;ll want a beautiful event witnessed by your loved ones, one that is remembered fondly by all those present. Should you opt for a beach wedding in summer, you can look forward to lots of sunshine, lovely weather, and natural lighting that give you amazing photographs. You&#8217;ll have a beautiful ceremony with the gorgeous blue of the sea in the background.

To cater to the growing demand, you may be able to find many vendors offering you efficient services that make planning a wedding totally stress-free.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="800" class="wp-image-30835" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image.png" alt="4 Reasons Why Indian Couture Should be Your Choice for a Beach Wedding 100" title="4 Reasons Why Indian Couture Should be Your Choice for a Beach Wedding 101" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image.png 1200w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image-300x200.png 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image-768x512.png 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image-1024x683.png 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image-750x500.png 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<h2><strong>Let’s Talk About the Wedding Dress</strong></h2>
<p>“The Dress” has to be the most special outfit you’ve every worn. You’ll want to look absolutely fabulous wearing an ensemble that is unique and perhaps, never seen before in your circle of friends and family members. If you’re looking to make a statement with an exotic piece of couture, how about choosing <a href="https://www.lashkaraa.com/collections/bridal-lehenga-choli" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian wedding dresses</a>? Ever since Priyanka Chopra married Nick Jonas wearing the most gorgeous dresses ever, many American brides are now choosing lehengas, saris, anarkalis, shararas, and other such Indian pieces to look their best. You may even remember different celebrities flaunting ethnic wear from India. For example, Michelle Obama, Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathway, Halle Berry, and Ironman, Robert Downey Jr. Wondering how to make traditional Indian couture work for a beach wedding? Here are some exciting ideas that match the setting and weather.</p>
<h2><strong>Indian Couture Can Make You Feel Like a Princess</strong></h2>
<p>Think traditional Indian formal wear, and you probably imagine heavy outfits with rich embroidery in a range of bright colors. The exciting thing is that you can choose outfits that are crafted from delicate silks, chiffons, georgettes, and laces with embellishments that add grace and beauty without weighing down. Yet another option is the Chikankari work on Lucknow outfits that look elegant and trendy when designed with pearls or tiny stones that shine like diamonds in the sunshine. Designers also like to combine the Chikankari will sequins or mokaish. Should you check out this <a href="https://www.slideshare.net/chandrankani/traditional-textiles-of-india" target="_blank" rel="noopener">feature on SlideShare</a>, you will learn about the immense selection of weaving styles and embroidery that can go into Indian couture. Explore your options and you will be spoiled for choice.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="798" class="wp-image-30836" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image-1.png" alt="4 Reasons Why Indian Couture Should be Your Choice for a Beach Wedding 102" title="4 Reasons Why Indian Couture Should be Your Choice for a Beach Wedding 103" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image-1.png 1200w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image-1-300x200.png 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image-1-768x511.png 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image-1-1024x681.png 1024w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/word-image-1-750x500.png 750w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p>Choose a lehenga with a full lightweight skirt that you can wear low on the hips. Combine it with a delicately-embroidered fitted blouse with a low cut showing off your midriff. The veil will carry highlights of the beadwork, pearls, or stones on a border. Go for a flowing train if you absolutely want one. Or, be comfortable on your beach wedding by having it pinned on the head, shoulders, and waist, so you can enjoy every moment of dancing with your new husband.</p>
<h2><strong>Indian Couture Can be in Pastel Colors for a Beach Wedding Theme</strong></h2>
<p>You need not buy Indian Couture in ethnic colors like red, maroon, green, or orange as is the tradition. Instead, choose beautiful pastel colors to match the sunny setting and warm weather. Unless you absolutely want to go for white, look for baby pinks, soft powder blues, graceful pistachios, or pretty peaches. Of course, you can always get bridesmaids outfits to match the theme you’ve chosen.</p>
<p>Talk to your designer about wearing a South Indian silk saree in white with a gold border and dainty golden motifs woven into fabric. Given the popularity of sarees, you’re sure to find a makeup and hairdo artist who also specializes in draping the elegant outfit on you. Complete the look with jasmine flowers in your hair and a lovely silk blouse in red or any color you love. Indian brides like to combine their wedding finery with lots of gold jewelry. But, you can keep it simple with lighter accessories you prefer. Perhaps, the best advantage of the saree is that you can adjust the length as needed. Would you like to wear high heels? The saree can be worn ankle-length to show them off. If you intend to wear comfortable shoes, tie the saree lower on the waist to conceal the footwear.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1200" height="865" class="wp-image-30837" src="http://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/inserting-image-.png" alt="Inserting image..." title="4 Reasons Why Indian Couture Should be Your Choice for a Beach Wedding 104" srcset="https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/inserting-image-.png 1200w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/inserting-image--300x216.png 300w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/inserting-image--768x554.png 768w, https://sweetvioletbride.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/inserting-image--1024x738.png 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<h2><strong>Indian Couture is Perfect for Wearing on a Sandy Beach</strong></h2>
<p>When choosing an ensemble for a beach wedding, you’ll want a dress that won’t collect sand, seawater, and other debris. An Indian anarkali would be the perfect choice because you can wear an ankle-length dress that stays above the sand. Such outfits are also ideal for somewhat curvy figures since they have a flowing silhouette that skims the body and falls in a fluid motion. Anarkalis can have an empire waistline or your designer can create a unique piece of couture that that skips the waist cut altogether. The veil can be of any length according to preference like, for instance, reaching the hem of the dress or a longer train. As for the neckline, play around with a wide sweetheart or a V-neck that shows off your slender neck and shoulders.</p>
<h2><strong>Indian Fabrics are Created for Warm Weather</strong></h2>
<p>Traditionally, Indian fabrics were created to match the warm climate. For this reason, sarees from several states of India are woven from breathable silk. Would you like an alternative for silk? Like this <a href="https://medium.com/@krishnasalvi17/different-types-of-south-indian-sarees-df929bfc7474" target="_blank" rel="noopener">feature on The Medium explains</a>, you could try the blend of cotton and silk that is easier on the pocket but looks just as exquisite and graceful. Your couturier can play around with different kinds of dresses and gowns using your chosen fabric as a base.</p>
<p>If you’ve set your heart on having a beach wedding, the soft sands and gentle ocean breezes will form the perfect setting for a dream event. Go ahead and pick out an ethnic Indian ensemble and you’ll be the most beautiful bride anyone has ever seen. Get that unique “Wow!” factor and when you see the admiration in your beau’s eyes as he waits at the altar, that will be the most wonderful feeling in the world.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This holiday season I’m starting up a new annual tradition. A ‘best books to gift’ guide! I think books are one of the best things in life &#8211; fiction, nonfiction, coffee table books, and everything in between! Though for this guide I’ve focused on beautiful coffee table style books and cookbooks – which make perfect gifts for everyone on your list. I’ve chosen my favorite recent releases (most were released in 2015) for ten categories below from vegetarian foodies to new home owners. And I admit I couldn’t choose just one for some of these categories – they’re too pretty to pass up! You might just want a few for your own shelf.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was late to join the world of Instagram, but over the past 8 months or so, I&#8217;ve become obsessed. You can follow me at <a href="https://instagram.com/avioletlife/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">@aVioletLife</a> where I post about natural beauty, accessory design, and other pretty things.

From food and flowers, to natural beauty and design, these are a must-follow.</p>
