This Instant Photo Guest Book for Weddings Is Too Good
You all probably know by now how much our WC team lovessss a good guest book. From autographable wall art to Fujifilm snapshots signed by guests and suspended from bright florals, the options to have your guests leave their stamp on your special day are endless at this point. But when one of our own chicks got married this March, we got a glimpse of one of our favorite guest books to date. She used an instant photo guest book from Liumy, and oh em gee, it was the best. And since she hasn’t stopped talking about how much she loved it (so did we!), we had to share all the deets with you!
We’ve seen photo guest books before, but this one is extra cool
To quote our oh-so-trendy colleague, “I was obsessed with mine. It was very chic and modern.” And those aren’t really the words we associate with the nostalgic, DIY-type, snap a pic and post it in our book kind of Polaroids-at-parties vibe, arewerite? Well, not so much, but the Liumy book is the most amazing blend of vintage fun meets modern, a crisp, clean and simple, yet so personal and homespun souvenir for the couple to bring home at the end of their best day ever.
At the end of the day, what better memoir can you take home once the ‘I Dos’ are done than an album chock full of photos of your favorite people having fun in your honor? Even some photos that they’ve taken of you and your new husband or wife, a different perspective than what your photographer has taken, a more personal, familiar, authentic capture (because they know you and your partner so well). Because you’ll likely have the more formal wedding photo album to look back on, but you’ll love the one your tribe personalized for you just as much.
You’ll dig the design
So, let’s get into this look, because it’s so pretty. It’s also suuuuuper unique and the antithesis of mass produced - it’s handmade and feels soooo special since it was created precisely for you. The whole process to put one of these albums together is done without any machines. Pockets are hand sewn into each page using a needle and the bows are hand-tied. When all the pockets are done, all the pages are hand sewn together and the album cover is assembled with a standard label or cut lettering.
And that pocket will hold strong forever - that’s what you get when glue isn’t involved! Under each pocket are three lines for message writing, and you can either go with a horizontal orientation (with 1 picture pocket per page) or a vertical orientation (with 2 picture pockets per page), plus the page paper is of exceptional quality (acid-free) with a slightly warm hint of color. You get to choose the pocket size, too, to match whatever camera/film size you’ll be using.
Oh, and if you don’t want the polished pocket look, and would rather have a more collage-y, blank canvas aesthetic, you can do that, too! That’s what our girl did, and the result was 👌👌👌 We can even see this working with colored washi tape, for an artsier, DIY interpretation! Can be much less expensive this was, as well, just inbox Ausra (the owner and chief designer) for custom designs.
