Would You Publish Your Love Story?

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

If you are looking for a clever way to share your love story with your wedding guests, Courtship Stories offers to professionally write, design and publish your own personal fairy tale. If you browse through the site’s reading room, you can flip through the pages of sample books to see what types of books are available. I personally like the sample titled “Contemporary” because the story features excerpts from the groom’s letters to his bride while he was traveling abroad in Africa. How sweet!

The only problem is, I don’t know how well most courtship stories would translate to paper. If you have love letters or other little expressive notes to each other, I think a book is a fantastic idea. Otherwise, you still have the elegant option of an all-photo book.

If you feel a little shy about sharing your love story with everyone at your ceremony, you can create your own beautiful guest book on Blurb. Just arrange your photos to leave plenty of white space for guests to sign. One of the savvy staffers here at Wedding Paper Divas made a Blurb guest book for her wedding, and she raves about how beautifully it turned out.

Beautiful Wedding Books

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Even though my wedding’s over, I still love drooling over gorgeous, glamorous wedding books. I compiled a few favorites for you:

1) Here are some stunning photos and ideas from famous wedding coordinator Jo Gartin of Love, Luck and Angels. I adored her book “Weddings: An Inspiring Guide for the Stylish Bride” so much that I wanted to buy it as a keepsake.

2) Colin Cowie is extraordinary! And his book “Colin Cowie’s Extraordinary Weddings: From a Glimmer of an Idea to a Legendary Event” is no exception. Here is a stunning photo from his fabulous book taken from Brides.com.
