A wedding album is unique to every bride and groom to preserve wedding memories for a lifetime! Hence it has to be a well thought decision. After all, who likes to re print a wedding album or get it redone as years pass? Isn’t it supposed to be treasured and relived as you get older together? People rather prefer the wedding album to get older along with them, and still shine as their marriage! Its smell should still be fresh reminding them the beginning of their beautiful relationship.
Hence proved, durability is one of the finest qualities one should look for, in a wedding album. The second vital point while shortlisting your wedding album printing company is the end to end customer service. Mind you, this is the key to choosing the best wedding album company! You will thank me later for this because it saves you a lot of effort running from point A to B. Select an album printing company that not only prints and binds your albums but also provides color corrections and album designing services. They should design your album layouts as per your preference and should take you through few rounds of revision until the album is designed up to you satisfaction. The pictures should also be color corrected by them and few portraits retouched if required.
If you have a family member like your grandparents who are no more with you, but you have some old photos of them, you can select one to get them included creatively in your album layout. If the old pictures are tampered, or slightly destroyed, the photo album printing company should be able to restore the photo. Thus the post production company should be able to retouch and color correct the images, design beautiful album spreads and also offer photo restoration if required.
There are several other important factors to keep in mind, while choosing your album designing and printing company. The album design company should have many options with album covers as per the latest trends. In fact, in recent times the most trending wedding albums are the ones with attractive album presentation boxes. This also keeps a check on your durability factor!
This is not enough; Look not only for fancy wedding album covers and presentation cases, but also the type of paper they use in printing the album sheets. Do not go for glossy covers, as over the period of time they don’t serve the purpose. Try for Matt sheets or if you are looking for premium quality then metallic paper used in printing album sheets would work best for you. Looking for very unique paper? Go for a silk paper!
Finally a creative high quality wedding album is successfully created as a joint effort. Not only the album printing press, but you also have to put some of your time. Below are some key notes for you to keep in mind.
