Wedding Blog
I’m interrupting the Sea Breeze recaps to bring you this special treat - I just couldn’t wait until they were over. I know, I know… jeez woman, wrap it up already! I’m swear I’m trying, but I have so many projects on the go these days, it’s a bit crazy here in SB Land.
One of these million and one projects is our photo books.
After having made one for Pepperpot as part of her MOH thank you gift, I knew that I wanted to create photo books of all our wedding images not just for us, but for our parents, too.
And then I came across this:
Aren’t those the coolest photo book covers ever? The photo book programs (Blurb, Inkubook, Shutterfly, MyPublisher, Snapfish) let you upload a photo to use as a cover and sometimes add text too, but they’re pretty plain. A custom-designed cover just blows those other ones out of the water.
I got in touch with Tiffany, one half of Style.ish Designs, a husband and wife team who combine their talents to design all sorts of papery goodness.
They were so fun and easy to work with! Here’s what they came up with for us.
Front cover option A:
Front cover option B:
Back cover:
I went with B… and they mocked up what our books will look like once they’re done:
That’s just the thing I needed to motivate me to get those darned photo books finished! I can’t wait. All I’ll have to do is upload the cover and back images that they created for me into the program, et voila!
The only thing I regret is not having gotten in touch with Tiffany and Jared earlier - I absolutely would have had them design our thank you cards (more on that one day), especially now that I’ve seen what they did for their own.
Aren’t they fantastic? The creativity of these two amazes me but isn’t surprising - they both have quite the “style-ish” eye. They are also photographers who specialize in engagement and wedding sessions (where they find the time to do all these things beats me!).
Anyways, back to my hectic weekend… hopefully I’ll find some time to work on our photo books s’more.
Are you planning to create a photo book of your wedding day or other events?

I was going to say option “B”, too! Love the purple, Mrs. Sea Breeze 
Oooohhh that is awesome!! I love that look! And what a cool idea to simply upload r\that into your blurb design!
Those are fabulous! Our photographer package includes albums created for the parents, but the covers aren’t going to be as cool as those! I love what they created for you - so serene yet fun and modern too!
Love it! What a great find and I’m curious if you would mind sharing, what would a project like that run someone?
OMG how beautiful and unique!!!! I love them and Im jealous!! I love your pictures on the beach!!! I cant wait to get married and have photos!!!
That looks awesome!! I can’t wait to get to that point where I can make all the books after the wedding. I totally plan on making our own photo albums, including one each for each set of parents, and some for us of course 
With that gorgeous photo, no matter what you did with the cover, you’d still have a beautiful intro to you album. Seriously, gorgeous picture — love the whimsy of the parasol.
GREAT Idea– it really spices up the cover =) I love the one you picked too!
These are awesome! They really are uber talented! And good choice on the second front cover option! The purple in your names give it that little something extra
Those are really cool! I would have gone w/ opt B too Thanks for sharing this great find!
awesome book covers. i love the circle designs and color.
I love option B! Wow that is so cool! Did you get to meet them or do everything online?
@Lillindy: I think it depends on what you want and what size you need, etc. I recommend getting in touch with them directly.
@LzzNYC: We did everything over email, they were really easy to work with!
Those two did my engagement photos. I heart them, they were so much fun! If we hadn’t already sent STDs and made decisions about our invites by that time, I would have utilized their awesome design services. Thank yous are still an option!
Hey you didnt say anything about smilebooks, if you liked blub and shutterfly, you’ll love smilebooks.
Mrs. Sea Breeze I LOVE LOVE LOVE your ring…it looks similar to mine, what type of wedding band did you go with? I’m having troubles finding one I love…you should post pictures of yours!!!!!
P.S. THe books look awesome! Guestbook idea???? hmmm:)
Don’t know where to post this but would you be interested in doing a little “pay it forward” with your DIY birdcage veil? I would pay shipping of course…lemme know

About Me: Planning a destination wedding by the sea should be (oh no she di-in't…) a breeze (…*sigh* yep, she did) but when you've never been to the Caribbean, your powers of imagination are really put to the test. Luckily, I'm 90% resourceful, creative optimist (and kooky, neurotic practicalist-if-that's-a-word for the other ten). Other than writing about our week-long celebration of family, friends, laughter and love, I adore books, shoes and… you guessed it… long walks on the beach.
