1. HANG IN THERE
Display photos around the reception area, using a clothes- or fishing line to hang pictures. The advantage: It encourages guests to move around while viewing, and interact.
2. TWO IN ONE
Combine your guest book and your photo album for a handy memento. Guests can browse through pictures and write their congratulatory notes next to your photos.
3. ART-STANDING
Framed pictures on easels look elegant. Coordinate a collection of black-and-white images for a more distinctive arrangement. If photos are in colour, then keep frames monotone.
4. A LOVE FOR BOOKS
A scrapbook helps you personalise your big day. Decorate it with your wedding courtship or “special” photos and place it at the reception area for guests to browse.
5. PICTURE THIS
Consider a photo-tree centrepiece for each table, so guests can admire photos without having to crowd around. Theme each tree as The First Date, The Courtship, etc to hold the look together.
