Framing your wedding photos and displaying them around your home means that you can enjoy them every day. So what’s the best way to do this?

Read on to find out everything you need to know about framing and how to display wedding photos in your home. 

Keep the Shots You Want in Mind Before Your Wedding

If you haven't already celebrated your big day then you've still got time to plan the shots you want. This is a great way to walk away with perfect wedding photos. It means that you can make the most of every photo op so you don't miss anything off your list. 

Some popular wedding photos include:

• Candid shots as a couple
• A getaway shot at the end of the night
• Shots of you coming down the aisle
• Shots of people (such as your partner and parents) seeing you for the first-time

Make sure you discuss these with your photographer before the big day to make sure you get everything you want.

Decide Where to Display Wedding Photos in Your Home

Once you have looked through your photos, you need to decide where you want to display them in your home. This will determine the size of frames that you need. 

For example, if you are going to put some of your wedding photos on bookshelves, countertops, or desks then you'll want standing frames. If you are planning to mount them on a gallery wall then you'll need a frame to fit the space that you're working with.

Pick Out Your Frames

Finding the right frames for your wedding photos depends a lot on the aesthetic of your home. So try to think about the space your frame will sit in before picking it. 

Once you know the color scheme and aesthetic you're working with you can look at different frame styles and designs. For example, you might want to use a frame with multiple slots to show off a nice photo series. 

If you are struggling to find the perfect frames to suit your pictures, you might want to look into custom framing for wedding photos. Custom frames allow you to design something that works specifically for the space you're working with. You choose the dimensions, design, and color to create something truly unique.

Get Your Measurements Spot On

Once you know the size of frame that you want to use, you need to make sure that your printed photographs will fit perfectly in this. 

Prints that are too small will slide around in their frame and end up with gaps around them. On the other hand, if your print is too big then the frame with crop out sections of the photos. Or you might not be able to fit it in the frame altogether! 

You want your photos to fit perfectly in the frame size that you have chosen. If your frame has a mount inside it then your print should be just a little bit bigger than the window of the mount inside it. That way you can secure it to the mount without cropping out too much of the photos themselves.

Set Aside Time for Framing

As our tips on measuring your prints might suggest, putting your prints into your frames can take a while.

You want to ensure that they fit perfectly and are properly secured to prevent them from moving within the frame. If you are planning to hang your frames then you'll also need to put some hooks or strong hanging string across the back of them. 

This might be the last job in the framing and hanging process but it is important not to rush it. Taking the time to frame your prints up properly will ensure that they stand the test of time.

Get Professional Help

As you can see, if you want to nail framing your wedding photographs then there's a lot to keep in mind. It is important to take your time if you want to do this properly. However, you can make things easier for yourself by getting professional help.
