Matching Wedding Albums for a Multicultural Wedding
Raj & Geoff’s multicultural wedding was a blend of Sikh and English traditions. Their multi-day celebrations featured several events so they were keen to showcase them in three separate wedding albums. The first album covered Raj’s pre-wedding Sikh traditions at her home and at the Gurdwara. Taking place the following day at Ditton Manor in Berkshire, the second album features their Sikh Indian wedding ceremony. As a final chapter, their third album focused on their traditional English wedding ceremony.
THE THREE WEDDING ALBUMS
There’s a few decisions to make when you’ve got not one, not two…but three wedding albums (It’s bad enough with one!) You can choose different sizes, or different covers and colours. Or they can all be the same spec. R&G really liked the Dreambooks Wood wedding album and wanted to keep the sizing the same at 15×10 inch landscape. The beautiful thing about this album is that the spine and reverse are covered in a faux micro leather which comes in several shades and all contrast beautifully with the natural wood front. So R&G were able to keep consistency throughout all three albums by using the same Nogal Wood cover whilst choosing different leather colours to complement each of their wedding events. All three albums were paired with a matching Nogal Wood Box. R&G chose:

THE WEDDING ALBUM DESIGNS
Pre-Wedding Album
Raj’s pre-wedding ceremony featured a multitude of colour and detail which had been captured by the photographer. The Choora bangles and detail on the Dupatta headscarf were the perfect backdrop to kick off the album. There was a lot of detail and action in the photos. By using one or two key full bleed photos accompanied by several smaller foreground photos, each page told the story of each ritual without looking too busy. In some spreads, the use of black and white helped to break up the photos as the amount of vibrant colour could be a bit overwhelming at times!
SIkh Wedding Album
You can see why R&G chose the Bordeaux Red Micro Leather for this album! Once again, there were several detail photos showcasing the couple’s outfits and traditional Sikh wedding rituals that provided the perfect vibrant backdrop to the album spreads. They were keen to include a couple of important quotes in their albums and the quote in this album was the perfect finale placed alongside two stunning photos of them both in the landscaped grounds of Ditton Manor.
English Wedding Album
The Rose Gold metal micro leather that R&G chose for their English ceremony wedding album was the perfect complement to Raj’s pink and gold dress. Background images in this album were focused on the more traditional English wedding elements such as the flowers, wedding rings and cake. The thing I love about these three albums is that, by utilising these full page images, it sets each album apart and the varying traditions and colours shine through and create a completely different vibe for each wedding album.
