How to Display Wedding Photos
So… you’re married. Congratulations!
And you took LOADS of photos.
But what do you do with them?
You’ve done the sensible thing and backed them up, so what’s next? Don’t let your wedding photos gather digital dust: They deserve a special place in your home.
It’s time to make a wedding photo wall!
You thought that when the wedding was over, you’d have all the time in the world to organise your photos and frame your favourite prints. But life gets in the way, and things come up, and suddenly, you can’t face the daunting job. You’ve tried the usual tricks: written a note on the fridge, added it to your calendar, even cancelled plans to make sure you sort those photos!
But don’t worry! It doesn’t need to be stressful & it won’t take long when you know how to display wedding photos.
The first (and arguably hardest) step is choosing the photos you want to display. Whilst we can’t really help you with this bit, here’s a simple guide:
Step 1: Go through every single photo and favourite the ones you like or can imagine on your wall.
Step 2: Review your favourite pics and try to un-favourite 10% of them. Try not to overthink this—if you're struggling, it means all your pictures must be gorgeous!
Step 3: Continue this process until you have the photos you want in your home!
YAY! Now that you know what you're working with, get creative!
Here are some wedding photo display ideas:
Have an empty hallway wall that has been screaming to be filled?
Transform your wedding photos into beautiful wall art. We offer a wide range of personalised wall art to elevate any photo, big or small, and to suit any wall. Choose from various options, such as collaged prints, photo canvases and aluminium prints.
2. Create a Wedding Photo Wall
A wedding photo gallery wall is a fantastic way to incorporate multiple wedding photos and frame types into one cohesive arrangement. Mix and match frames, sizes and orientations to create a visually appealing space.
Suppose you’re not 100% on the layout. In that case, we recommend using an online tool to visualise how you imagined the wall to look and to ensure your frames complement each other. My Wall Decorator is a free website that allows you to design the perfect gallery wall and picture how it would look in your home. Upload an image of your wall to their website, then drag & drop various frames in any placement. Even better, My Wall Decorator allows you to use your own pictures for the frames, so you can be 100% sure of your prints before shopping for personalised wall art.
Sometimes, it's nice to have synchronicity with your frames, but it’s also fun to mix up the textures and pieces within the gallery wall. For a maximalist aesthetic, you could add a mirror, photo block, clock, or even a keyring! A heart metal keyring with your initials and wedding date would be perfect! Maybe you have a prop from your wedding photo booth that fits perfectly between your photos? Get creative and have fun!
How you choose to frame your wedding photos can make all the difference. Consider the colours of the image; is it warm-toned or neutral? Think about what other frames or home furnishings you have in the room. Do you want to match the shade of wood, or would you prefer a contrasting shade to help your photo pop? Depending on your style, a mix of modern, personalised, vintage or classic frames could add some depth to your room.
Our selection of frames includes options for every style and may give you some wedding photo frame ideas.
There are endless possibilities to incorporate your wedding memories into your home. From custom photo pillows to crystal photo blocks, you don’t need a wall to display your day!
5. Personalised Wedding Gifts
Wedding photos also make perfect gifts for family and friends, allowing everyone to display them in their homes! Create personalised photo slates, mugs and photo books to share your special day with your loved ones.
Our wide selection of wedding gifts ensures you'll find something for everyone.
A unique idea is to create a three-photo frame with wedding photos from different generations. If you have wedding pictures from each generation in your family, this would work beautifully. It’s heartwarming to display your parents', grandparents', and your wedding together.
If you’re concerned about the quality of your grandparents' wedding pictures, our photo experts can restore old photos and bring them back to life. Additionally, you could edit all the images with a simple black-and-white filter to unify them and create a more cohesive look.
Use our store finder to visit your nearest Max shop and choose a three-photo frame.
A photo book is a beautiful way to relive your special day and give it a place on your coffee table. Have fun choosing the layout to suit your style, hard or soft cover and the size of your book.
Your wedding photos deserve to be displayed in ways that celebrate the love and joy of your special day. By turning your photos into wall art, personalised home decor, and thoughtful gifts, you can keep those memories alive and cherished for years to come.
