500 Wedding Ideas

Is there a particularly way to arrange wedding photos in an album?

I just received my photos back from the photographer and was wondering if there's any order to the way I should place in the photos in my album. Any ideas? Thank you!

1. In chronological order. You don't want pictures of the reception to be in the album before pictures of the ceremony. Other then that, it's really up to you.
2. no specific way.... you could do it by person (bride, then bride and groom together, then groom, then wedding party... etc) or you could do it chronologically (before the ceremony, ceremony, after ceremony/before reception, at reception, etc)
3. the before, you know, whan you were dating her, the in-between, when you were getting serouis, she moved in, the end-the getting ready for the wedding, the cakes, the invitations, the dress, and the last part, how you are right now
4. You can make a caption for each photo or a group of photos, on every page. Make seperate sections for family & friends. Put them all in a sequence, according to the time as the function proceeds.
5. Personally i would arrange them in the order things happened. Going up the isle , being given away , exchanging vows, the rings, the kiss etc. I would put the posed pictures of you and the girls and him and the guys in first though and all the other ones after the wedding itself. This is how i am doing mine. But really it is up to you how you want to do it.
6. I'd say in order of the timing of the wedding!
7. However you want...I did our chronologically. I've seen some done with the bride & groom shots then the attendants then the family shots. It is completely up to you and home much room you have in your album!!
8. Well there's never a "right" way to organize your photos but there are traditions. The most popular tradition is to start your album is with a picture of just the married couple :). (this will be the only picture on page) On the next set of pages, start with the walk down the aisle (if you have some). Then follow it with the vows, the "i do's" and the kiss. Continue with the range of photos from pictures with after-pictures of the celebration and pictures with your parents and the in-laws. The last picture should be the last picture of the whole thing... usually the exiting of the couple to the "honeymoon"... The traditional album usually is in order (except for the first picture of just the couple) for the reliving of the wedding...you want to make it like a movie (in pictures) going through the wedding for someone that wasn't there. If you are doing a scrapbook, add little things to it that you wouldn't remember in time... like the invitation(s) or the itinary (if you had one). You could also put in what you had at the after- party... or names of gifts you recieved. I hope this helps and good luck with your project. Remember it was your wedding, and you can do whatever you want with the album!!!
9. If the photos are of everything - the ceremony, dinner and reception, put them in chronological order. If they are just studio pics, do what you will.
10. It is the story of your wedding day and should be displayed as that. So- Chronological order is the correct answer.
11. Organization is up to you. It is always a fun idea to include the goofy snapshots (if you have any) and make a fun page at the end. Remember to place the pictures in ACID FREE photo or scrapbook albums! Also use acid free embellishments. Many photos begin to degrade under the traditional plastic covers and through contact with acidic stickers and tags. You can find acid free books, stickers, tags, embellishments, ect. at Walmart, any arts and craft store, or a scrapbook store. Also store the album in a cool dry area away from sunlight.
