It's wedding season once again and you're lucky enough to be a bride or groom looking forward to the big day, however you may also be a wedding planner stressing over some ideas to bring unique life and organization to some of the visual and functional elements that many couples want implemented on such a special day. There are several vibrant ideas that can cater to your creative side and help shift the focus away from traditional fixtures experienced at most weddings.

Working with photos on canvas means having endless possibilities for celebrating the people, places and events that newlyweds may want to commemorate. Reception table centerpieces and displays of all kind can easily become something very special that guests will not only notice, but remember always. It can be a nerve-racking process deciding how and what to do to set your wedding apart from the others. Photos on canvas could be a major ingredient in your wedding recipe. Lets explore some awesome ideas that we here at Canvas Press have discovered by way of some of our loyal customers who tied the knot.

Centerpieces
Small canvas prints work wonders as wedding table centerpieces. Use photos from your travels or budding relationship instead of place cards to designate where guests are seated. Guests will be sitting at the “Ireland Vacation” table, “Bike Trip” table, or “Where We Met” table. Various “Best Friends” and “Family” can also be excellent table names that can be printed to canvas with appropriate photos that you supply us. Don't have all of the photos you want? Email your friends and family, they'll be happy to share their favorite photos with you. Shown here are little 8”x8” canvases of trip adventures taken by a couple who had us print them on canvas in order to designate guest seating at their wedding. They're displayed on easels and ended up in a collage on their wall at home after the wedding. The link below will show you the story and more photos.

Collages
One of the most popular wedding photo displays is the collage. Creating a collage on canvas is a snap. Visit CanvasPress.com and upload a group of photos large or small and use as many as you'd like. Canvas Press can arrange them and customize all of them in any way to create a spread of memories on a beautiful canvas. Display on an easel and watch guests gravitate right to it.

Big Décor
At a fraction of the cost of the alternative, you can enlarge photos on stretched canvases to create masterful, elegant décor that celebrates a relationship that flourished into a matrimonial bond. A well-planed engagement photo can make for an excellent centerpiece or featured display on or near the head table. Sizing from 16x20 - 30x40 will work very well in that application and no doubt add a fresh touch of class to the entire Reception or wedding space.

The Best Secret Idea Yet
Many couples like to have a guest book at their wedding. Here it is: Have a large canvas made featuring your engagement photo with a large white border. Start with a canvas at least 30”x30”. With the photo centered, leave a 10” white border of blank canvas all the way around for your guests to sign. Bring a few sharpies in various colors to create an eclectic and fun display. You'll end up with a guest book, gorgeous artwork that lasts a lifetime and a unique memento from your wedding day.

Canvas Press uses the finest canvas and archival inks. That along with a gleaming reputation that spans the globe is insurance that you can trust us to print and customize your unique centerpieces, dynamic collages, large displays and custom wall-hanging guestbook that helps you celebrate one of the most special days of your life.
