  Wedding Guest Book Trends
Little is overlooked by brides today when it comes to their big day. From their simple but very classy gowns, the beautiful embossed invitations, the unique themed decorations and fun, yet personal wedding favors. The modern bride has brought attention to detail to an entirely new level. Traditional guest books were simple white books, with scripted lettering saying Guest Book on them, nothing more. It was a simple way of allowing guests to put their name on paper as they arrived at the wedding reception. Years after the wedding the books were tucked being stored, with the book aging, and the ink fading it's nothing more than something you keep in a box. Today guest books offer much more style and you can use them creatively as part of your decor. The classic white is still available but with variety in terms of covers, bows and charms added to them to tie in with themed wedding decorations.

From faux pearls, gold heart charms, vintage floral designs to a cover complete with the magical addition of a horse drawn carriage. The selection today means that the guest book is more of the decor and will can serve as a treasured piece of art. Brides are adding flare to the guest book, and using the guest book to add flare to photos. Scrapbook items that relate to the couple can be inserted into the pages of the wedding guest book. You have now transformed this into a scrapbook that contains mementos of trips, places, or events from the couple's time together. The book has meaning now and memories rather than just the ink and paper names. Guests can be asked to add items or leave photos to be added into the collection.

Another idea is to use the pages and cove, create a collage of art, framed and hung to look at every day. The pages of the wedding guest book can also be used later to mat the wedding photograph and bring some additional interest and memories to the simple photo. The textures, graphics and rich colors that are now offered in the guest book collections can tie into the event beautifully as well as work to tie into your art or decor long after the wedding. Brides are inundated with decisions and choices leading up the wedding day. They have the ability to tie themes and colors into every aspect of the event and there are no details that are overlooked in this selection and design process. The wedding guest book has been expanded from a simple sign in sheet to a collection of pictures, graphics, art, and memories that can and will be used long after the wedding on display in some fashion in the new couples first home.
