I decided since the wedding is 'Victorian peacock" themed, I wanted a cool vintage inspired way of celebrating my family and my fiancé's family. So I came up with the idea of framing all of our parent's and grandparent's wedding photos to be displayed at the cocktail hour. I also decided to include a picture of Chris and a picture of myself in our 'first wedding' as flower girl and ring bearer, and an engagement photo of Chris and I in the middle. I also had my friend (who is fantastic with photoshop) scan the images and type who is who on the image. Ex: The bride's maternal grandparents, etc
I stuck with the vintage feel for my frames by mixing and matching frames sizes and metallic colors; silver, copper, gold. I feel like it kept the vintage feel and looks a lot more interesting than fifteen of the same frame.
I got really lucky when I went shopping because 90% of the framed were under $5 at Christmas Tree Shop! (don't you just love a bargain? lol) And I got the remaining few from Michael's craft store and Home Goods.
Here is a picture of the pictures in frames: (I ran out of frames at first, but ran out that night to buy more to finish my project)
