With the approach of summer, it’s quickly becoming the most popular time of the year for weddings. If you’re looking for a wedding picture frame as a gift or for displaying at a wedding, then here are a few things to keep in mind.
The first thing you should consider is the purpose or use of the picture frame. If you’re giving the wedding frame as a gift, you want to find out if the bride and groom prefer silver, gold or wood tones. Try to narrow down the type of material they prefer first and then look at the different styles of frames. By doing it this way, you’ll save time and avoid getting overwhelmed with all of the choices.
If you’re looking for a wedding gift, check out our wedding picture frames so you can get a feel for all the different types of frames available. But, if you need help narrowing it down, then let’s first start with metal.
Metal Wedding Picture Frame Gifts
For metal, sterling silver and silver plated picture frames are very common as gifts. Sterling silver and silver plate are popular because you can have them engraved and they have a beautiful sheen that looks gorgeous. Unfortunately, there are a few downsides with sterling and silver plate. With a metal finish, you have to be more careful caring for them as the finish can be easily scratched and may also require polishing if your frame doesn’t have a lacquer coating. Silver plate and sterling silver frames are also more expensive and can vary widely in price.
Another option for a metal frame, are jeweled wedding picture frames. Like sterling and silver plate, jeweled picture frames vary widely in price from hand crafted frames with faux crystals to designer frames with real crystals and gemstones. Although we currently don’t offer any real crystal studded frames, we do offer a lovely line of jeweled picture frames in a more affordable price point.
Wood Wedding Picture Frame Gifts
If you’re looking for wood wedding frames, gold leaf, silver leaf and white wood frames are among the most popular. Wood is so popular because its easy affordable, easy to maintain (you don’t have to worry about polishing or scratching), comes in a wide range of styles and it compliments most types of decor. The gold leaf and silver leaf finishes are especially popular because they have a more expensive look and give the wood a hint of a metallic gold or silver sophistication. Gold leaf picture frames are generally more popular for weddings, while the silver leaf picture frames seem to be more popular for anniversaries. However, it really comes down to the colors that the bride prefers.
Wedding Picture Frame Displays
Wedding frames are also very popular for displaying at the wedding.
You can find wedding frames beautifully displaying the couple’s picture near the guest book or gift table and are commonly used as table displays, wedding favors or bridesmaids gifts. If you’re buying the wedding frame to be displayed as a table display then make sure that all sides of the frame are nicely finished. Most frames do have finished backs, but some are prettier than others. For example, this jeweled wedding picture frame was designed specifically to have a decorative back and makes a perfect frame for a gorgeous table display.
If you’re looking for a wedding picture frame that can be used as a memorable wedding favor, small thank you gift, or to identify the table number for assigned seating, this small trio of jeweled wedding frames will be sure to do the trick. Or, if you’re looking for a little larger frame you can also use this 3×3 jeweled wedding frame.
