Wedding Albums: Everything You Need To Know

Why A Wedding Album?

Hi, Vital from Aesthetic Sabotage here. I want to ask you a simple question: 

What is a more realistic scenario for you in 25 years? 

a) you insert a flash drive into your computer to view your wedding photos on your anniversary? 

b) you pick a beautiful wedding album up, then bring it to a couch filled with your loved ones that already anticipate seeing something so familiar and so heartwarming. It's your closest family around you, and you're ready to relive that surreal day with them once again by flipping pages that tell everything that matters.

I know you find the latter more attractive. More meaningful. More about your life. 

Why A Wedding Album Is So Expensive?

A wedding album is much more than just a book with photos from your wedding. Although there are many options in the market, some are more affordable, others somewhat expensive. I would consider a high-quality wedding album to have these characteristics: 

• handmade of professional-grade materials;

• have print permanence rated at 100+ years - the guarantee that your album will look as beautiful as it looks today, even 100 years from now.

• lay-flat design

• acid-free paper, which prolongs the life of the colors and tones for even longer.

Aesthetic Sabotage Offers Albums Of The Highest Quality

Your heirloom wedding album will come with a cotton rag paper, which has a beautiful texture, is acid-free, has a warm tone in whites, and is rated to keep your wedding images' colors and contrast for 100+ years. The same paper is used in museums for archival purposes, so you can be sure your album will last, well, forever. 

SIZE

My general recommendation is to go big for your main album and then choose smaller sizes for duplicate albums for your parents, grandparents, and families. A 12x12 inches size for the main album is the most popular option. But other sizes are available too. Smaller options include 10x10 and 8x8 inches sizes.

FINE ART PAPER FOR YOUR ALBUMS

Your albums will be printed with the most advanced inkjet printers - the same printers used to reproduce prints and canvases for museums. This means that with normal use and storage, your album will be resistant to aging and will not change colors or contrast over decades. Each spread is printed one at a time, inspected, creased, and hand-bound.
