I've been researching and researching album suppliers for a while now.
Who knew there were sooooooo many???
There are a few things in particular that I've been looking for, that would make them my preferred supplier.
First, a quality product. Figured that goes without saying but thought I should put that out there.
Second, it reflects my own personal artistic style
Third, a price point that is affordable for brides without being cheap
Fourth, I would buy them myself
My first choice....is from WHCC
These are my least expensive albums out of my product line.
This is who I also use for the Reception Sign in Books (more on that tomorrow)
I ordered a sample book to see if I liked the thickness of the hinged pages and to see if I liked the final finish of the printing.
This one is the floral black fabric. I will say I do not like floral patterns but loved how subtle the pattern was. It seems a bit harsh here but it's only to show you the actual pattern.
I custom designed all the pages of this album
For example this page...where the photo is duplicated but it's a darker inset of the lighter version
Same here but instead is a two page layout
Left some "white space" for writing if desired.
Again left a bit of "white space" as an example of room to write on the reception sign in books.
Here you can see how the pages are thicker than regular pages
These come in 8x8, 10x10 and 12x12
And generally 10 pages / 20 sides
Pages also have a UV coating
My preference is 10x10 as they can be designed with a custom photo cover.
But here are a few more cover options
All feedback welcomed, as always
