This week I delivered a custom made guestbook to my good friends Suzanne and James! They are getting married this June at the Vancouver Ironworks Studio! A non-traditional venue for a non-traditional couple!
We did an amazing rooftop e-session in the spring and there were so many great shots that I couldn’t WAIT to design this guestbook with the images. I spent a lot of time making sure every detail was perfect and that the book really suited them both, while also trying to create something that would match their red/black/gray spanish damask theme. It was so amazing to see their faces light up when I gave them the book….I just love how much photos can have an impact on people and instantly reveal such emotion.
This is one of only a hand-full of guestbooks I have designed from scratch and I have to say, I really LOVE this design. So much so that I’ve ordered a copy as a sample so that clients can see these babies up close and in the flesh! They are manufactured with hinged pages so they lay perfectly flat, and the covers are all metallic finished. They are such a great way to show off your engagement photos in a fresh and funky style at your wedding. At my past weddings, the guests just LOVED them and every time I looked over at the guestbook area, people were swooning around the book, flipping through pages over and over.
I’ll save the pictures of the actual book until after the wedding, but I’ll share a few of the spreads with you!
Aside from the cover the first 2 images, these are 2 page spreads, and as you can see, the pages are designed so guests can sign anywhere in the book.
A little non-traditional, but definitely leaves guests remembering how unique the book was!
