To create a wedding memory album that will really capture the essence of your day it needs to tell the story of your life together from the moment you met, right up until the honeymoon. So if you can, start gathering together mementos that will help tell your story as soon as you can. Try not to leave it until after the big day, but start collecting and making notes as soon as your man proposes!

Buy a notebook to keep exclusively for your wedding memory album and, in between the long to-do lists and diary dates, remember to keep a note of any special or funny things your friends and family say to you as you prepare for your wedding – perhaps something touching your parents said when you told them you were getting married or a lovely remark that your friend said when you asked her to be one of your brides maids.

Keep as many of the samples you receive from wedding suppliers. It might be nice to include samples and swatches of ribbons and stationery, so that you can explain in your wedding memory album, which ones you had to choose from and what made you finally decide on a particular design. It is those small details that will really make a difference and help you relive the whole wonderful experience of planning your wedding.

When you come to include the photographs in your wedding memory album, ask around to family and friends to see if they have any that are worth including. Often it is the less formal pictures that bring a wedding album to life and will show you in a more natural light. You could also ask key members of your wedding party to write a message or anecdote for you to include with their picture and create a picture spread for all of the pictures of guests.

A wedding memory album should really bring the story of your wedding celebrations to life and help jog your memory in years to come about the whole experience, from how you met to the proposal, choosing your dress and venue and the ceremony. So much effort goes in to planning a wedding these days, but it is the memories that you will hold on to in years to come, and which you will want to enjoy together and share with future generations. Every wedding is unique and a well thought through wedding memory album will help remind you what made yours so special.
