This personalized photo album from Garnet Hill would make a great bridesmaid gift ($28).

Sweet little design on this wedding photo album from Jen Corace’s Etsy shop.

Pretty Modern Dot photo albums are now 25% off at Paper Posey. These archival albums have a traditional case binding with heavy cream pages. They also come with matching self adhesive photo corners. A nice option for wedding photos, I think.

For the couple who has everything…

I read about cul de sac design on funky finds and I love this custom plate. A great wedding or anniversary gift.

Celine Countryman Matted Albums – These albums have pre-cut mat openings and are of archival quality. They come in a range of colors (Ruby Red, Black, Platinum Blue, Sage, Ivory or Lavender Haze) and can be personalized for an additional $12. Small $17, large $22.

These leather wedding album contain window frames pages that also allow you to slip you photos right into a mat, no adhesive or photo corners needed. I’m not a fan of white wedding albums but there are other colors available, too. These are pricier, though, at $140 for the small and $220 for the large.

Created exclusively for SendAFrame, this professional looking album ($95) has similar stylings to an album that might cost three times as much from a photography studio.The post-bound album contains 20 soft white boards and 40 silver embossed self-adhesive mats in a variety of frame sizes.

Finally, for a very simple and inexpensive line of pre-cut mat albums, there is also the Elan series. These albums have a spiral binding which I’m not crazy about; however, the mat openings are simple with curved edges, no tacky embellishments, and the albums are very reasonably priced.

Some pretty personalized photo albums from Neiman Marcus – these would make lovely bridesmaid gifts.

These photobooth wedding invites (as seen in the ReadyMade love issue) are the super cool idea of designer Cindy Ferguson of Invite Delight. You can have your very own invites custom made at Invite Delight. You can also DIY them by following these instructions on the ReadyMade blog. Or use the suggestion of ReadyMade readers Margaret Cox and Aaron Swingler and buy some Envelopments, cut out a viewing square and insert a card with your two photos. They made a cute save-the-date card by taking pictures of themselves holding signs (see the latest ReadyMade).

These simple leather albums from Kate’s Paperie are great for archival storage of your wedding photos. They come in a range of colors (brown, black, cream, red and orange) with ivory pages and interleaves and are priced between $45 and $175, depending on the size.

If June is the month of weddings, then August is the month of wedding photos – and figuring out what the heck to do with them. This month on fototiller, I’ll be featuring some products and ideas for showing off your wedding pics (plus some fun photo ideas for those of you in mad wedding planning mode). Check out the new wedding category in the weeks to come.

Since our fifth wedding anniversary is this fall and we (a) still don’t have an album for our photos and (b) don’t want to spend a ton on one, I’m going to start with some posts on albums that don’t break the bank.

I think these albums from Ecklectic are gorgeous and simple and not too girly (ok they are kinda girly with the bow and all). But I still love these, and almost all are under $100 – a great deal considering these are handmade bound albums withglassine overlays and archival paper in your choice of ivory or black.
