There is nothing quite like wedding photos. The entire process—from choosing your photographer, to planning out the shooting spots on that wonderful day, to looking through the entire catalogue and reminiscing afterward—is such a joy.
But the fun doesn’t have to end there! Selecting which photos you are going to hang in your home is an exciting experience, but there are many people who assume this ends with printing the wedding photos on paper and choosing fancy frames. Instead, consider displaying your wedding photo prints on metal. There are many reasons for this, and ways to make them stand out in your home. Consider some of the metal wedding photo print ideas below.
Why Metal?
Having your wedding photos printed on metal will give them an edge over traditional printed photos. One reason for this is the quality of the image will be better. Specifically, the colors will have more depth and be sharper to the eye. The details will also be more clear and not fade over time from exposure to light or other elements. Just imagine: a crisp memory, preserved for the rest of your life without having to worry about glass breaking or the paper being damaged.
Different Styles?
Choosing to display your wedding photo prints on metal doesn’t mean your selection process ends there. Not only can you choose your size and shape, but you can also choose your style. For instance you might want your wedding photo prints to have a high gloss finish, giving them that extra bit of pop they deserve, surely making them stand out no matter where you decide to place them in your home.
There are also semi-gloss options, for when the picture needs a bit of fine finish, but maybe you don’t want to take it over the top with the high gloss, or perhaps there is too much light in the room in which you want this particular picture and the reflective surface of the high gloss is a bit too much.
Or perhaps a metallic finish is your style, in which the image is infused directly into the aluminum metal, which creates that edgy metallic look. These images tend to be a bit darker, and depending on your tastes, you can either adjust the brightness beforehand, or go for that edgy feel as is.
How to Display
Picking the style of your wedding photo print is only half the fun, as there are plenty of options for how to display the image. One example is to take advantage of a floating frame, which is popular for larger prints and creates a sort of 3D effect since the image is not resting directly on the wall, but has a spacer between. If you want a particular wedding photo print to stand out in the room, then this might be your best option.
However, it is not your only option. If you are ordering a series of small prints, then perhaps a mounting block is the way to go. This is a common consideration for those who are looking to put together a collage of wedding photo prints, or perhaps a series down the hallway.
There are also additional options, such as resting your image on a mantel or using adhesive strips (if you don’t want to put nails in your walls, for example). Ultimately, when it comes to your wedding photo prints, create the custom style you want and make your memory stand out proudly and beautifully in your home.
