Wedding Album Ideas for a Winter Wedding
What do we think of when we envisage a winter wedding? The picturesque beauty of a cold and frosty backdrop or maybe even crisp fresh snow if you are REALLY lucky! Delicate winter hues with twinkling lights or the bold festive colours of a Christmas wedding. Whichever style you choose, a winter wedding is an ideal choice for creating a magical and cosy atmosphere for your special day.
So if you opted for a winter or Christmas themed wedding, how can you reflect that style in your wedding album? Here’s a few ideas…
A wedding album with rich winter tones
If your winter wedding decor and flowers featured lots of rich snug tones and you want to embrace that warm bold feel in your wedding album, then there are several shades and materials that are the perfect fit.
Suede, with it’s soft, velvety texture offers a luxurious and tactile feel, creating an elegant and sophisticated touch to the album. I’d suggest Aubergine Suede for a rich tone or Cream Suede if you want something a little more muted. Both shades evoke warmth which is perfect for that winter themed wedding.
A timeless Linen cover in Plum also provides a vibrant appearance or if you’re looking for a more subtle finish, then how about Genuine Leather in Sage Green.

Sage Green Leather
Adding an elegant touch of gold or silver stamping on the front cover – as seen in the Plum Linen and Sage Green Leather examples below – really exemplifies that rich winter feel. All three albums are available in my Wedding Album Collection
Encapsulate the crisp winter weather in your wedding album.
Even though snow is a rare sight in the UK, it’s still a quintessential part of a winter scene. Instead, what we often get are those frosty days, painting a picture of light blues and soft shades of white. If you want to capture that cool, serene vibe in your album, there’s a few different cover styles to opt for….
Embrace nature with a Wood Wedding Album paired with a complementary faux leather spine and rear. I recommend either Dark Wood contrasted with a stark crisp White Faux Leather or the Light Wood with a moody Dark Blue Faux Leather. Finish with beautiful and subtle laser engraving.
Similarly, if you want a cleaner more crisp feel to your wedding album then choose a Faux Leather album in White or Dark Blue. Add a bit more warmth and opt for Black or Blue Velvet album for that plush, opulent feel.

Black Velvet

I’d suggest keeping the finishing subtle with either Colourless text stamping or UV Printing in Black/White (Faux Leather Covers), or Laser Engraving (Velvet and Wood Covers).
celebrate your christmas wedding with bold festive tones
If you chose a Christmas themed wedding, then it’s likely your colour scheme featured reds, greens and golds. If so then you can create a wedding album that full on celebrates the yuletide hues or if you prefer, has more of a subtle festive hint.
Velvet is the ideal cover material if you want to capture the essence of an elegant Christmas-themed wedding in a tactile way. It possesses a sumptuous texture and plushness creating an opulent and luxurious appearance. I’d recommend either a beautiful vibrant Red Velvet cover or the slightly more subtle but still colourful, Olive Green Velvet. To add to that bold festive feel, finish with gold text stamping. These are all available with my Velvet Wedding Album
If you want less of a textured finish to your wedding album, but still want to embrace those bold tones, then I’d suggest a Merlot Faux Leather finished with gold text stamping.
For a more neutral and clean crisp finish with a hint of those Christmas colours, you could choose the Faux Leather wedding album with a White cover and gold text stamping. If you want your wedding album to feel more opulent, how about a Gold cover finished with subtle colourless text stamping or white UV print?
Lastly, for something that falls somewhere in between these two, I’d suggest the Wood wedding album in Dark Wood with Gold faux leather across the spine and rear of the album – wintery and natural looking but with a hint of opulence!
Olive Green Velvet
Gold Micro Leather
White Micro Leather
Red Velvet
Merlot Faux Leather
These examples of both the Red and Green Velvet show just how bold and rich these tones are. I’d suggest keeping the cover simple with subtle laser engraving. Alternatively, if you’re opting for a neutral cover then add a pop of festive colour and style with a UV printed logo or text.
Use delicate icy tones for a subtle winter wedding album
Whilst bold bright and metallic shades tend to be associated with Christmas, if your winter themed wedding featured more delicate, cool wintery tones, then you probably don’t really want a brightly coloured wedding album cover. Instead, opt for an elegant light cover such as the following…
Both Velvet and Suede with their tactile feel can invoke that warm cosy wintery feeling. Keep it neutral and sophisticated by opting for the Velvet wedding album with a Cream cover finished with subtle laser engraving. For a slight hint of colour, I’d suggest the Suede wedding album in either Pearl, Marshmallow, Pebble or Baby Pink with a finish of colourless text stamping.

Pearl Suede
Pebble Suede
The Pearl Suede and Cream Velvet albums showcased below are both beautifully complemented with subtle laser engraving, offering an exquisite and delicate wintery finish.
GListening Metallics for an opulent winter wedding album
If you prefer not to embrace bold festive tones entirely but still desire an opulent winter wedding album, consider opting for metallic and shimmering covers in neutral tones. To achieve this look, I’d recommend the following..
The Linen wedding album offers several metallic tones for a perfect blend of natural material with that wintery shimmer. Opt for Silver, Pearlescent Cream or Black.
For something a little richer in tone and more bold in material, the Metallic wedding album in Venetian Blue Shimmer cover adds more of a textured glistening finish.
Metallic Silver Linen
Pearlescent Cream Linen
Metallic Black Linen
Venetian Blue Shimmer
Finish your metallic album with some gold or silver stamping or keep it simple with white or black UV print.
