There have been five main hair and beauty trends in the Bridal World for 2011, which we shall share with you here on The Card Gallery news site…

1: The Beach Hair Curl – think cascading curls and tumbling loose waves.  Yes, the main hair trend for the year was casual and gorgeous.  Possibly due to the amount of couple who were actually getting married on beaches this year, we fell in love with this design as it’s less ‘done’ that rigid styles and looks gorgeous in photos.  For the brides that went for this style, their wedding photos albums would have done them proud!  Laid back and casual, pictures from the wedding photo albums of brides who followed this trend will be gorgeous, natural and fun!

Your wedding photos will be one of the most important mementos that you and your husband will have of one of the most important days of your lives.  You’ll want to protect them for many years to come so it is worth investing in wedding photo albums that will keep your photos protected from grubby fingers and accidental damage.

It may be a good idea to have one album with the ‘official’ photos that are taken by the wedding photographer and some smaller wedding photo albums which captured the more informal aspects fo your wedding day – for example, your friends and family dancing at the reception and funny moments captured on camera.

Very often, your guests will also share their photos with you, of moments that they have caught on camera.  If you choose to have copies of these too, it may mean investing on some more wedding photo albums!

You should also think about personalising your wedding photo album (if you haven’t bought a personalised one to begin with) and this can be done by simply embroidering your names or initials and wedding date on the cover of the album.  If you’re crafty, get creative with embellishments and printing and see what you can come up with.

Wedding photo albums are the perfect way to treasure your photos from not only your wedding day, but also your engagement party, honeymoon and all of the other celebrations of your wedding day.

Wedding photo albums are a way for you to look back on your special day and remember all of your guests and the things that helped make it such a great day.  It also serves as a special keepsake that your children and grandchildren will treasure for years to come.

Wedding photo albums are available in many shapes, colours and sizes so pick one that is perfect for your big day.
