*Storybook Wedding Book*

Any ideas on how to turn wedding pictures into a fairytale style story.

What a fun idea! I would do my wedding that way, too, but my photographer permanetly attached all my pics in an album!

For starters, watch any of the following movies:

Shrek
Robin Hood (Disney animated)
Snow White
Sabrina (new version, Harrison Ford - no pics, but a good verbal intro)
Beauty and the Beast (again, good verbals)

I'm drawing a blank, but I know there are others. Anyway, they all have a storybook intro - it might give you some ideas.

I would use lots of yellowy parchment, Old English calligraphy, and gold accents. You might search around online for some medieval-type pics you can use for your pages. Then try to find a big, heavy, old-fashioned leather-bound album to put it in. And don't forget all the cliches - "Once upon a time. . " "They all lived happily ever after," etc...

If you happen to have any snap shots of mishaps or booboos (and you know every wedding has atleast one!) something about the "spell cast by the evil fairy or witch" could be cute. Maybe some dragons or Disney looking villanious characters would work. This project sounds like a very creative idea. Don't get me started--I might have to rip up the album again! Have fun with this, Nancy

What a terrific idea! Please let us know how it progresses.

I did an album for my daughter using lyrics to a song, the first page I did as a story-book intro. You know -- "Once upon a time in a country named Merry-Land (we live in Maryland and her name is Meredith) a beautiful baby girl was born...." and then I continued saying what "gifts" she had been given, wisdom and intelligence; a kind and loving heart; etc. I used a golden colored parchment paper to give it an "aged" look -- cut it to look like an unscrolled piece of paper, and added Disney stickers from Sleeping Beauty -- Aurora, the three fairies as accents -- Oh -- the song I used was "I Hope You Dance"

Well, thank you all for your input. I am still working it all out. I have to put away my scissors for a while we are moving halfway across the country. I'm thinking of packing up some stuff that I can do in the hotels. Moving is so much fun.

We had a great photographer, a good friend of ours actually, who did everything for us at cost.

But I will put in layouts as soon as I get some done.

Thank you all.
