Here is something that happens to almost every couple after their wedding. The photos come in, they are beautiful, you spend an evening going through them saying "oh I forgot about this one" roughly forty times, and then they sit in an online gallery for the next two years while you mean to do something with them.

If that is you, this one is for you.

Why Your Walls Deserve Your Wedding Photos

Your wedding day was, for most people, one of the most intentional days of their life. Everything was chosen with care. The flowers, the light, the people in the room. Your photographer worked hard to capture all of it. Almost as much as baking some wonderful meal only to take a dump on it when you decide you aren’t eating the dish - just let your images live in a folder such as this is going to be somewhat... unfulfilling. To say the least. 

Wedding photo frames bring these memories to real life, a physical something to make sure you are reminded of it all the time. Not when you remember to log in, but every single day.

Where to Hang Them

Over the Bed

This is the most personal placement and frankly, one of the most meaningful. A single large framed wedding photo centered over the headboard makes the bedroom feel deeply yours. It doesn’t have to be the most technically perfect shot. It just has to be the one that makes you feel when you look at it.

A small grouping of wedding photo frames works beautifully here, too, for something a little more layered. One detail image, one close up portrait, one wide reception shot and you have a complete story on a small amount of wall space.

In the Living Room

The living room is the main gathering place for guests and a wedding photo frame in the right spot does something quiet and lovely. It says something about what you care about and you don’t have to say a word.

It's usually best to put one big frame on the main wall, rather than a lot of little ones spread around. Add a small plant or candle beneath it on a shelf and the entire vignette falls into place organically. Art To Frame's picture frames are available in enough sizes and finishes to find just the right fit for whatever your living room wall is asking for.

In a Hallway or Entry

The entry of your home is the first and last thing you see every day. A wedding photo framed well and placed here adds warmth the moment you walk through the door. It also tends to be the spot guests notice and comment on, which is its own kind of joy.

Hallways are great for small groupings of wedding photo frames arranged vertically or in a loose cluster. Because the space is narrow, even a few frames can feel abundant.

Getting the Framing Right

The frame itself is more important than people know. A picture that moves you on the screen can feel dull if it is framed incorrectly, and it can feel like art if it is framed correctly.

The finish of the frame should match the tone of the images for wedding photography. Warm wood finishes work well for film-style or golden hour photography. Bright, modern editorial shots look good with clean white or black frames. Classic metallics in silver or gold are a natural for more formal, traditional wedding styles.

The fact that our custom frames fit the exact dimensions of your photograph, without being cut or stuffed to fit into a stock size frame, makes a difference in how the whole thing looks on the wall.

Stop Waiting for the Right Time

The right time to frame your wedding photos was the day they arrived. The second best time is now.
