Scrapbooks
A fun and unique way of keeping one’s
wedding photos is to create a wedding scrapbook.

the scrapbook and be sure to keep swatches
of gift-wrap and other beautiful packaging
you may find worthwhile. Lastly, any cutouts
that you have been collecting for your gown
are also great additions to place into the
scrapbook.
