My album layout- first draft- FINALLY!!

What do you all think? Any changes- PLEASE let me know. I'm not good that these things at all. Please critique away.....

I wish I had more pics w/ a blurred backround and more artistic shots. They were ALL really traditional.

I also wish I had lost 70+ pounds BEFORE the wedding rather than after so I didnt look like a hefalump in my album, but what can I do

ETS- shouldn't there be SOME black and white pics???

TIA!! :)

15 (I can already say that the ginormous hangs are going and a pic of ILs dancing will go there.

Christine, I think it's beautiful!
The only thing I'm not sure about is the two pics on the left side of page 14...the ones that have the torn edges. I think they would look nice w/the regular 'finished' edges? I hope you arent' mad I mentioned this, JMO!!! With my luck it's your favorite part lol...

It does look out of place, I think it shoud have a border like you said, or faded out.

Thanks!

hi there. I think the pages are lovely.
just 1 thing. On p2 the white to the right of your dress seems to run into the dress a little too much when they are trying to blend it with the right hand page.

Christine i think it came out gorgeous!!! You just gave me the incentive to pick up the phone and actually meet with my photographer to do this!!

Christine- everything looks so perfect! I love the background on page 13- how its two pictures- the whole thing looks amazing!

Re: My album layout- first draft- FINALLY!!

Christine your pics came out sooo nice. The only two things that I can see is: on Pg 2- You cant really tell where the dress ends and background begings. Maybe your photograher can make the background blurry. Pg 14- I agree with PP about the edges.
You mentioned black and white- speak to your photographer so they can show you some of the images of B&W pics. I love the look that it gives.

You looked beautiful!

Christine...

page 9 the 2nd picture of you & DH walking down the path (and youre holding your train). this is just a little thing but he has much more 'elbow room' on his side and yours is a little squished. maybe have the photo center it more so its equal space on both sides.

i'm so anal about balanced space or just anal in general

Re: My album layout- first draft- FINALLY!!

Re: My album layout- first draft- FINALLY!!

i reallllly love it!!!

here are my suggestions:

between pages 8 & 9 maybe one of those pages could be b&w b/c they are basically identical colors and poses, the b&w would mix it up a bit

i agree about the edges on pg 14 they look out of place b/c they are nowhere else in the album

on pg 17 what if the background picture of the cake and your hands cutting the cake was b&w? i think it would look neat.

oh and i love the fact that heather and i snuck into the 'shot picture'

I know I JUST noticed that!! I'm so excited that you guys are in my album!! (poor Colleen got cut off ) You better stay friends w/ me though b/c I dont want to have to draw mustashes on you in my album.

Gorgeous Christine!

My only suggestion....I absolutely love the pic on page 7. I would make the 2 pages just be that pic and on page 8 add the single pic of you above the single pic of your DH.
