Teach
Me Album Ordering
Welcome
to our concise lesson on ordering an album. If you spend
just a few minutes reviewing this info, it will certainly
answer many questions and help offer you confidence
while ordering your album.
Ordering
a complete album only requires two steps which we will
outline here:
Step
1: Ordering your album cover
The
cover of your wedding album is the exterior binding
that holds everything together. Covers are available
in a variety of colors and designs and will vary between
manufacturers. Covers also have options of imprinting
- which includes design work, names, monograms, and
dates on the front of an album cover.
Covers
are available in several sizes in terms of height and
width. The larger the album, the larger the prints it
will hold. Another benefit to larger albums is that
you have more mat options that allow more options for
placing multiple prints per page. See mat collections
for specifics on sizing options.
STEP
2: Ordering Your Mats
This
is a must in order
to have a complete matted album. Without mats, your
album is incomplete and will not hold prints. The mat
options available to you depends on the size album you
order and the brand you are ordering. Larger albums
have more options than smaller albums. Components from
different brands cannot be mixed.
To
help ensure you arrive at the correct mat collection,
use the link in the "Step 2" line on the album
ordering page. You will do this after placing your cover
in the shopping cart. Just make sure that you then select
the same size and color mats as the album sides you
ordered. For example, if you ordered a Large album with
black interior pages, make sure you order Large mats
that are black in color. For Renaissance albums, you
have a choice in color for the embossed line aroudn
the photos. You'll most likely want that to match your
page-edge color.
IMPORTANT
NOTE ON QUANTITY: Order the same number of mats
as you did sides in your cover. Each side requires 1
mat.
