Our daughter was married in September and it was wonderful! When the photographer forwarded the CD of wedding pictures for us to view there were so many that I wanted to order. Of course, this got me asking myself how I could display the them?
Wall galleries are nice, but a wall full of wedding pictures?
Hmmm, I thought to myself, that could be a bit much if not done right.
Do you ever wrestle with yourself? And then begin reasoning with yourself?
Well, as I continued looking at the pictures my “want” list kept growing, so I really began wrestling with myself about what to do. (Which can be dangerous by the way = headache!) I wrestled with myself and then began reasoning with myself...it’s my house, and it was a day to remember, and the pictures are so pretty, so who cares if I have a shrine wall full of wedding pictures…it’s my house!
Ok, I bet you think I’m crazy don’t you? But it really was hard narrowing down my want list and finding a way to display these special photographs. But, I think it may have worked out pretty good, thanks to Pottery Barn…Pott

While out shopping with my daughter I noticed some collage picture frames that were hanging from a peg and chain on a wall at Pottery Barn.
Hmmm, I thought, I really like the looks of that! And that was that!
I purchased some frames (which were on sale, yippee!) and placed my picture order!
Here is our wedding picture shrine wall…

So many nice things about a collage picture frame...
the ability to put many different pictures in just one frame, a more streamlined look and less cost not having to purchase all those extra frames. After all the wrestling and reasoning I was able to achieve myshrine wall full of wedding pictures…

I am thinking about gathering family photographs from great grandparents down to our children for a grouping to hang on the wall as you go up our stairs…hmmm, not sure if I’m ready for more wrestling and reasoning with myself right now!!!
Thanks so much for visiting, please leave a comment so I’ll know you did!
Blessings,
Cindy, what a lovely gallery! We did our gallery on a kitchen wall, behind the breakfast table. We love it! It has sparked so many conversations and memories of our times together. The wedding photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! I have so many photos around here, I've had to resort to putting the newer photos on top of the older ones, in the frame.
ReplyDeleteCindy, that looks wonderful! I love those frames! And just think, if there's another wedding in the family, you can change some of the pics out to reflect both events if need be. Your daughter is beautiful and your son is GQ handsome. Did I mention how handsome your son is? LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect way to display memories of this special day. Your arrangement is so pretty. I also love your leaded glass with toile behind it. Yes, I often wrestle with myself. laurie
ReplyDeleteCindy, these are beautiful! I think you made a great choice with the collage frames. So very pretty displayed with the plates as well.
ReplyDeleteCindy- THAT looks great! I ordered WAY too many wedding pictures of both daughter's weddings. I ended up putting a 12 x 16 of each one of them (hubby and wife) and then I ended up doing a couple small ones and the rest went into an album. Your daughter is beautiful! And..your son is very handsome! You did good, Mom....very,very good! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteYour collage of pictures is wonderful. I was browsing through some of yout daughter's wedding photos on a previous post too, and thought they were beautiful. Nel got married in September and I still haven't seen the professional photos yet. If you want to see some of the wedding pictures, I posted them on Oct. 20. Please tell your son that is a very nice picture of him. You have such a lovely family, and the bride was stunning.

Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour wall of photos is very tastefully done and is really beautiful. You have beautiful children, enjoy seeing them, after all, like you said once or twice, it is your house. :)
Hugs, Cindy
HA! I did say that a time or two didn't I! In the beginning, I was picturing 20 different frames, in many different sizes, on one small area of wall...too much! You are always so sweet Cindy...thanks so much!!!
DeleteI love this Cindy, your home is lovely and I think you really did a great job with this.
ReplyDeleteCindy
First off, your children are gorgeous!!! They both, honestly, look like models! And I think you have displayed their pictures in a wonderful way! Love the frames you used, very nice! :)
ReplyDeleteLove how you solved your problem! It looks just perfect. So perfect in fact, that I thought you were showing a picture of what you saw in the Pottery Barn catalog. It looks professional and uncluttered and just right.

Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteall that reasoning and wrestling has paid off in a wonderful wall. Love that look, and you did a great job
