Hand Bound Albums

I’ve been searching everywhere for an off the beaten path album, and I think we have a winner! These are actually handbound journals, and the cover of some are made with vintage handkerchiefs. So up my alley. These books are luxe looking keepsakes. Do you think it can work as an album by adding black photo corners ? Made by Natalie As Is. The dainty details make me weak in the knees.

    I think it could definitely work. Maybe silver tabs, or the pictures with some handcrafted fiber paper behind… depends on the style you’re looking for! Great find!

    They really are very beautiful. I checked the site and saw that they are made with acid-free paper which is very important for longevity of photos. However ideally you would like the paper to be much thicker in order to sturdily hold the photos without creasing or bending. I’m sure an album creator would be able to give more accurate advice on the materials used though and perhaps some advice on the possiblity of yellowing of the handkerchieves would be good too. Sorry to put a damper. I love them too!

    How creative and lovely! It’s so inspiring to see these things, rather than the usual, typical wedding stuff that are available in the stores. These are the little things that make your wedding special, unique and truly yours.

    Lovely, lovely! Some traditional vintage black and white photos, with photo corners will really make this handbound wedding album idea a special keepsake. NatalieAsIs is really delivering something remarkable and unique with her products! The middle one really caught my fancy, and I can just imagine how much my daughter will love it! I am sending her the link straight away.
