I’d love to create a blurb wedding album. I’m also seriously considering making a blurb book of our engagement pictures to give to our parents for Christmas this year. This is the photo I’d put on the cover of the engagement book.
http://www.widdisphotography.com/cecilia_and_ross_eng/large-17.html
the picture i’d choose for the cover of our blurb book would naturally come from the gorgeous selection of engagement pictures captured by our unreal photographer, geoffrey horowitz of leapfrog photography.
http://www.leapfrogphoto.com/B&D/b_d0014
we’re thinking of using the blurb book as our guest book at our outdoor wedding reception. we’d love this opportunity!

here’s us! The engagement shoot was a riot. We had only 20 minutes to do the whole shoot, ( photographer special) we had to drive 2 hours to the location, got lost, and Justin had to work at 5 am that morning… he was exhausted! All in all, It turned out well, and it was quite the memory. I can’t wait for our wedding, and to make a photobook to share with our families!
Were you reading my mind!? I want to make a blurb book for our wedding album and then give one to each of our parents as a wedding gift. So, for the cover, I’d want to put my favorite picture of our wedding day/engagement session, so in the mean time, here’s a fun old photo of the both of us
http://www.outoftheordinary.biz/seney.html
This is our photographers site, and I would use the 3rd picture..the one of us in front of the rainbow.
We would use this as our guest book as well! What a wonderful way to use the photos from our engagment photo shoot! Here’s what I would put on the cover: http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slideshow.jsp?Uc=126a2265.9seyu1fd&Uy=ojlm29&Upost_signin=Slideshow.jsp%3Fmode%3Dfromshare&Ux=0&mode=fromshare&conn_speed=1
http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=126a2265.9seyu1fd&x=0&y=ojlm29&localeid=en_US
After taking our engagement photos and seeing a guestbook at another wedding with their engagement photos, we decided we wanted to do this as well!
So our cover will be either:

or
http://www.flickr.com/photos/lounytoon/2911244052/in/photostream/
I’d love to do a Blurb book with photos from our relaxed B&B farm wedding, incorporating wedding portraits of our parents and grandparents. I’d have to use this photo on the cover — a shot of our Wii cake topper! http://www.flickr.com/photos/jenosale/2943231994/
We would love a blurb book. How awesome!!
http://flickr.com/photos/platteter/2565279798/
I love this photo and I think it is cover worthy!
I would love to win this for our wedding album. I’d use a version of this shot:
http://catskillimages.zenfolio.com/p735132146/e24a14e78
I’d love to use this picture:
http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k151/justanotherg1rl/meandd1.jpg
Someone just happened to catch our first kiss on camera! We’d been best friends for a long time [note our matching rings in the picture] and that night was the first time I got brave and planted one on his cheek. I love his expression, and I’d love to have it on display :]
yay! i am working on the layout for my blurb book right now! We’re making 2 blurb books to bring to HK with us for our second reception, because our photographer’s albums won’t be ready in time.
This is the pic we’re using for the cover!
http://picasaweb.google.com/jessie.keh/ProfWeddingPics#5255367547120550258
Here’s ours:
This was our last e-pic we took, and FI was a lil tired of all the posed photos!! 
I will use our getaway picture on a school bus as our cover picture because my husband is a school teacher - so, we rented a yellow bus instead of a limo. Also, for the title I will name it “I love you through and through” because instead of reading from the bible we read a children’s book he gave me to honor our traditon of giving each other children’s books on special occasions instead of hallmark cards.
http://picasaweb.google.com/KimmieAbq/TheKSWedding#5259276960336558850
this is my favorite pictures!

I love this photo as the cover of our wedding album:
http://blueroomphotography.smugmug.com/photos/159337984_zmMQb-M.jpg
I would use this engagement picture that we took at the SF Marina: http://x91.xanga.com/bdac8274c6333215500965/b168504347.jpg
I’ve always wanted to make a blurb book!!! I hope I win this one!
I would use the 4th picture down in this teaser. I want to do an album for my trash the dress pics, we just did them on Saturday and it was only +9 or 50 degrees(for the non canadians ):
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=37953604&l=45ac8&id=12441653
These are my best girls. We’ve been friends for so long and they are going to be my bridesmaids along with my sisters. I would love to make them each a book as their gifts.
I really want to do a blurb book as our guest book at our wedding. I hope that the cover will be one of our engagement pictures that we are going to take in a few weeks. But if I had to decide today, here’s a pic:

I’ve been thinking about using a blurb book as our guest book so the front cover would have to be a photo of us on the skiing holiday where we got engaged…
http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinkangel1979/2226461059/in/photostream/
I can’t wait to put together our photo album from our 10/4 wedding. We haven’t gotten back all our pro pics yet, but I’m in love with this one:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/caulner/OToole_SchroderPhotography3.jpg
I think either of these might be serious contenders from our none pro pics. Our MH snapped the first one of us on the way back from the ceremony.
The other would be of our first dance, and while a little dark it shows just how happy we were so it might be my favorite!
i would use this one from my engagement pictures:
http://picasaweb.google.com/jaymewhitson/July18ohnine#5258360857228342786
i love them.
I’d use this pic taken of us at Skogafoss in Iceland. That’s a real raibow too!
http://picasaweb.google.com/jennifer.friedman/Iceland?authkey=L32pwG6QnM8#5189914768950984738
I would put this pic of us from our wedding on the cover, and fill it with all the amazingly wonderful photos that captured the madness that was our wedding…
http://images.bellapictures.com/200704-181050/bella/web/200704-181050_0464_900.jpg
Third (and final) attempt to post here!
Any of our e-pics (Margot + Chris) from our photographer Cindy Patrick’s blog!
This is a cute photo we took 2 weeks ago. That was the very day he told his parents he and I were soon to be engaged. We were apple picking when he told me.
Although the ring isn’t yet on my hand (will be somewhere between december and february and our anniversary is dec. 27), we already know that we’d love to have some professional photos done here in the gorgeous North GA mountains at both the apple orchards and at a nearby vineyard.
I’d title the Blurb book…”We picked the right one!”
scroll down the page btw! You’ll see us and my lil’ fella below.
It would be adorable for the 3 of us to be in the orchard, on the cover.
totally, the pics on my photographer’s site. http://www.scarlettlillian.net
the link won’t post specific pics, so scroll down to rache and ariel
http://lh5.ggpht.com/alisonchernin/SMMsZA2ZbdI/AAAAAAAAAFU/DGzWbsUhRVE/s400/1054.jpg
Nothing like your new husband shoving a HUGE piece of cake in your mouth!
Still awaiting our pro-pictures, but I’m positive that one of them would be perfect to grace the cover of a fabulous Blurb book!!!!!!
We just had our wedding a month ago and here’s the link to my favorite picture of the day~
http://www.flickr.com/photos/elaineandleo/2958262837/
I’m planning to make an album of my U.S. wedding to showcase in my Hong Kong wedding banquet.
I would love to do an engagement book, here’s my picture:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2120057&l=b1eee&id=669500163
@Elaine: hey! when and where is your HK reception? We’re having one too in Dec! My MIL is planning everything. enjoy yours!
I’d use this one, from our awesome photographer Margot Duane: http://www.flickr.com/photos/10250983@N03/2958286953/
I would love one of these!
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=56954&l=f693f&id=1015140047
This is a photo of us and our unity candle. I thought it was subtle enough to be a cover photo, but also letting everyone know it’s about us!
Blurb is where we created our engagement book with this picture on the cover. We’re using that as a guest book at the wedding. A wedding album from Blurb would be great!!!!
OMG, I was just working on my Blurb book. Please pick me, pleaseeeee!
This is one of our favorites from our wedding. We think it would make a great photo for our blurb book!
oops, here’s the link
this makes me so sad that my eshoot isn’t for another 2 weeks 
However I plan to use a blurb book for our guest book
It’s not a wedding or engagement picture, or even a posed picture. It’s completely spontaneous and it’s my favorite picture of us. It was new years eve and we were showing everyone our mad hardcore dancing skills, haha.
Well, we were planning on using a blurb book for the guestbook, and we quite havent finalized if that would include engagement pics, childhood, or the day we got engaged pics (or a combo thereov). Since we dont have our engagement pictures online, I will go with a picture from the day we were engaged (in NY!). http://www.flickr.com/photos/evanblasor/2306823822/in/set-72157604029709576/
This is the one I have on the cover of the blurb book I’m working on right now!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaimalia82/2869548612/in/set-72157607200781501/
Since our church wedding is still next year, I’d use the certificate to compile our son’s pics. I chose this to be the book cover… http://denzney.multiply.com/photos/album/4/blurb
pick me pick me! =)
We might go with something fun, like this one:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/kellyandjesse/2607570309/in/set-72157605791432368/
It didn’t work the first time I posted. So…here’s my photo:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/lani_sommers/2910051302/in/set-72157607695301164/
We had an all candy wedding and I think that the picture of our cake and candy buffet is a perfect photo for the cover of our wedding book.
YAY! We just got our engagement pictures back! This would a PERFECT guestbook, we’re so excited! Here’s our picture,(and our weddingsite) taken by my very talented sister Katie!
This would be so perfect!! I am currently, albeit slowly, trying to put a book together of our wedding pics
This is the picture on the cover…http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31471942&l=674dd&id=45100861
oops..link didn’t work
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31471942&l=674dd&id=45100861
I’m not sure if this is possible, but I read somewhere on Weddingbee that you could turn your blog posts into a blurb book? Does anyone know if that’s true? Anyway, that’s what I would use my blurb book for. You can click on my name to go to the blog link.
Oh wow… I’m really trying to design my album right now and this would be awesome.
5th picture here (black & white): http://michelleturnerphotography.net/?p=192
PLEASE PICK ME!!!!!!!!! I worked on a wedding album for my sister and it’s cheaper to go mypublisher but i tried blurb for my boudoir photos and immediately fell in love with the quality. her album i did a premade templates and i can go into any album publication. the cover is plain so i wanted to show 1 page layout that’s an insert of it:
http://maritessb.com/images/jenandaug2.jpg
and here’s the cover: http://maritessb.com/images/jenandaug.jpg
it’s part of her MOH gift from me as well as her christmas gift. Please help me!!!!!
Instead of your classic slide show at our reception, I’d use our blurb book for all those photos from the 5+ years we’ve been dating to entertain our guests while they wait in line for our photobooth. We’d have to use this http://www.flickr.com/photos/31370401@N05/ as our cover photo, since my future hubby attends the University of Tennessee, and I’ve been a die-hard fan since I was in diapers!
i love blurb. i made a guest book for our wedding, and now i am working on our wedding album. i’m super impressed with the quality of my blurb books, especially now that they offer image wrap. this is one of my favorite photos from our wedding

This picture is from our September wedding in Paris (my husband is French). Even though we live here the experience was still surreal!! I really wanted the city’s beauty to show in my pictures. I would love to surprise my new husband with a blurb book for Christmas when we go to visit my family back in the states!!
Pick me! Our wedding pictures aren’t back yet, but here’s an engagement picture
http://picasaweb.google.com/sandylee253/UntitledAlbum#5259328629211537778
Oh how exciting! I would love to use the gift certificate to make photo albums of our wedding for our parents and us! This is one of my favorite photos from our wedding day taken by our lovely photographer Laura Waters Hinson.

Would you have guessed that Hurricane Hannah was also in town thay day? We lucked out when the sun came out
I’m currently trying to choose photos for a Blurb album - this is definitely the cover! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3160/2635454548_8abf46b197_o.jpg
this is my favourite picture from our wedding! I think it looks like a postcard!
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1384128&id=506040492#/photo.php?pid=4124476&id=504390143
This is awesome! I was thinking of doing blurb books for christmas presents!
@mainer08:
I love your photos! I really like the 4th one down on yours very romantic!
This would give me just the push I need to finish my massive wedding-album-in-progress! One of my favorite hubs pics
http://www.new.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=45016397&l=a4332&id=2211670
We just got married a month ago today! Don’t have the pro pics back yet, but we’d probably go with something candid, like this one. http://www.flickr.com/photos/meetthedeweys/2897629444/in/set-72157607439128846/
Please randomly pick my number, I would LOVE this! Our photography package does not include an album so this would be great!
Oh MY gosh! I have been wanting to make a Blurb Memory/Guest book– I would love love love to win! The photo I would use is our Black and White (photo 7) one from this site. I love how casual, yet comfortable we look!
http://shutterlovestudio.wordpress.com/2008/07/25/lindsay-justin-engaged/
my fiance and i are getting our engagement pictures done in two weeks while were on vacation in kona, hawaii! im soo excited. im thinking something black and white in our “dressy” clothes would go on the cover. wed probably give them to our parents as “thank you” gifts for helping us out with our wedding!
This is my fiance’s favorite picture taken by my sister’s boyfriend at Kakaako Park (in Hawaii) a few days after he proposed. We love this picture and is planning to make it as the cover of our May wedding guest book.

Here’s the image I would use on my cover:

I would make one about my honey and me: http://jessywoman.smugmug.com/gallery/5843202_hPhjm#362628978_MSKv2-A-LB
My future mother-in-law has lovingly insisted that I call her ‘mom’ since the moment we hugged after the proposal. She has been the mother I never had and because she loves photos of her darling children, I’d love to create the blurb book for her. I would use photos of my fiance and I during dating, engagement, and the wedding. She’s done so much to make this whole process easier - we really owe her!
I would use this photo, because it’s her favorite…

I’ve been wanting to make a Blurb book to document the fun and festivities we had shared with our friends and families at our Hawaii DW and make it a coffee table book so they could all take a trip down memory lane when they visit us!
I would use this picture: http://images.kodakgallery.com/photos2922/6/97/72/35/47/2/247357297605_0_ALB.jpg as a sign of the fun times to come inside the book!
I want to win this! I forgot to put in the website though the first time:

I have been collecting so many items for the past 3.5 years so I can’t wait to compile them in a Blurb book for our wedding! The photo I would use is a picture of me and my fiance, Jason, the day after he proposed! He took me on a surprise trip to the South of France for our 3 year anniversary and the picture in the link is from the beautiful callanques outside of Marsielle!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v189/johncusackrules/callanques-1.jpg
Without my mom, our beautiful home wedding would never have left the ground. She is extraordinary, and worked so many miracles to give the mister and I the happiest, most incredible day we could have had! I would use this photo below of my mom and I getting ready as the cover of a Blurb book just for her. She looks so beautiful!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/loverlypound/2916495534/in/set-72157607774293452/
I’d love to do a blurb book about me and my beloved. Chances are the cover will include a pic of us eating something because that’s just what we do… http://www.kodakgallery.com/PhotoView.jsp?&collid=13668651406.695613861206.1224607073733&photoid=524756861206&folderid=0&view=1&page=2&sort_order=1&albumsperpage=&navfolderid=2006
I used Blurb.com in the past to creat a book for my now-finance titled, “Scott’s Life Until Now.” I used pictures and quotes to “tell the story” of his life from the time he was born until the present day. It came out absolutely awesome and it is always the center of attention when we have guests who see it on the coffee table and take a peak!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the idea of using Blurb to create my wedding book!
Oh wait…here is the pic I would use!!

Our best man John DeFiora took beautiful pictures at our wedding and he captured so many moments that our hired photographer missed. He was with my husband while he got ready since our photographer was with me and captured so many of the fun moments I missed. I would love to put all of these extra memories in a Blurb book and recently started to look into it. Though my husband would kill me, I would use this as the cover:
http://tinyurl.com/6yfn9n
I like the rap around cover. I am considering them for my coffee table book for the wedding. Image to be decided after wedding.
I would use this pic. It’s my favorite. http://www2.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=229505168/PictureID=5998854141/a=105101511_105101511/t_=105101511
I would be soo pumped if I won. I am planning on doing wedding albums for myself and family and a honeymoon album as well. I’m still debating whether to have this image for the wedding album cover http://www.flickr.com/photos/uhdeeuh/2905715790/sizes/m/in/set-72157607645517889/ or a couple pics like my thank you cards http://www.flickr.com/photos/uhdeeuh/2949817855/sizes/m/in/set-72157607645517889/ .
This will be the honeymoon book cover http://www.flickr.com/photos/uhdeeuh/2871147686/sizes/m/in/set-72157607377049496/
I am currently working on a blurb book from our trip to Mexico last winter. This is when we got engaged! He asked me in a park in Mexico City. It was a wonderful trip for many reasons so I want an extra special way to remember it (and give a copy to our parents).
Here is the link to our cover.
http://www.public.asu.edu/~mrkruse/blurbbook.jpg
I would put this photo: http://betrothedbean.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/15421108.jpg
it would defiantly be this one!
heres the link

I’m a HUGE coffee book person…and I’ve always, well, since getting engaged :), wanted to turn the story of my fiance and me into a coffee book! Our cover would have this picture: http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b8d736b3127ccec576ee18a0c700000040O01QatmbhoyZA9vPgw/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/
Le and E sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
We actually climbed a tree as part of our first look photo session. The digital files are not in our hands yet but I am sure you can visualize the awesome shot looking up from my red shoes and his striped socks..
My hubby and I got married in a very small ceremony after work in a park, but are having another BIG ceremony and reception in April. For our blurb book, we’d want to use this photo:
http://picasaweb.google.com/lisa.y.lam/CourtHouseWedding?authkey=uFL0C19oBDU#5241292083354994626
It’s happiness + some badassness.
ack! can’t choose! these are three of our (many) favorites! but a blurb book would make a GREAT guest book, and the *free* part would help our cramped budget!

I have been meaning to get moving on Blurb for some time now… inspiration! Am thinking our save the date image would be a great cover. Located on our newborn and currently empty wedding dedicated blog
http://kateplusaaron.blogspot.com/
we would use it to make an album of our engagement photos, which will probably be our guest book at our wedding! check out the post from 7/25/08 for some of our engagement pics.
http://www.sibblog.com/2008_07_01_somethinginblue_archive.html
ahhhh….I have been waiting all week for my engagement pictures to be sent to us but no luck! (we are thinking they will come in tomorrow). But, here is a link to our picture for now…www.nitalandkris.com
So, who won?
Ive been wondering too?
