Getting Crafty with Your Wedding Photos

Did your wedding photos turn out amazing? I sure hope so!

One of the top priorities of most brides and grooms is booking the best wedding photographer out there! "The photos are the only thing that will last" say many couples. The flowers will die (although you can preserve them), the food and cake will be eaten, the dress will get boxed up, and all that will be left are the memories and the photos and video of your big day.

And I could not agree more! I thought the exact same way!

But once we got our photos back, we looked through them together and loved every minute of it and then clicked "download and save" on our computer.

With all of these amazing shots, there has to be some better uses for them than to leave them stored away on the computer! So here are our 10 favorite things to do with your wedding photos!

Wedding Thank You Cards

Send a personalized Thank You Card, decorated with your favorite photo memories from your special day and finished off with a heartfelt message of thanks to show your appreciation for everyone who played a part.

Holiday Cards

Christmas Ornaments

Everyone has a photo memorializing their wedding. What if you had an entire tree full of wedding photo ornaments?

Cases and Covers for Your Electronics

Make your own personalized phone cases for iPhones and Samsung using your favorite photos of the big day.
