A picture is worth a thousand words, and there is no better gift that will preserve the memory of a wedding than a photo album or picture frame. A wedding photo album can be a very special gift giving you the option of adding photos for the couple, or giving them an empty album to fill with their own favorite memories. You will find many different styles of wedding photo albums to choose from, including many that are designed to be put on display in the couples’ new home. A beautifully embellished fabric covered album personalized with embroidered names and the wedding date is a gift that is sure to be treasured for years.
Instead of a photo album, you might choose a personalized picture frame for them to hang on the wall of the couple’s new home. There is a wide variety of styles to choose from, so you can easily find a wedding photo frame that suits the recipients’ distinctive decorating style. While most personalized photo frames are designed to display an 8x10 wedding portrait, there are many other options available as well. A wedding collage picture frame that is designed to display snapshots from the ceremony and reception, or a honeymoon frame fitted with a die-cut mat spelling out the word “Honeymoon,” are two alternatives to uniquely display cherished photos.
Sometimes it helps to spice up your wedding by trying something out of the ordinary to make it memorable and etched in the minds of your guests for a long time to come. There are many ways to skin a cat as the saying goes. Likewise, there are many ways to hold your wedding without messing up the basic rituals that go with it. You do not have to have it like someone else hag theirs. It being your day experiment and explore ways to make it stand out and elevate the event into its own league.
There are many wedding cultures in the world that you can choose to borrow from and make your big day really special. You can choose to go Indian, Native American, Spanish or Oriental. But the one that really kills it is an Irish wedding. Irish tradition and culture is very rich and drawing from it will make it a wedding that people will talk about for a long time. The ideal starting point for an Irish wedding is careful study of the tradition so that you can make it perfect. And you do not even have to be Irish descent. If convenient, you can consider having the wedding on St Patrick’s Day, who is the patron saint of Ireland.
If you are into superstitions, there are times of the year that the Irish don’t marry so you might want to take that into account as well. And one thing that runs through Irish tradition is their association with the color green. So a touch of green here and there might help bring out the whole theme. The decorations could also have that green weaved with shamrock designs because as the maple is synonymous with Canada, so is the shamrock with Ireland. Have a chef who is well conversant with Irish food and delicacies to complete the Irish theme.
