important for your valuable wedding album.

stickers, die-cuts, or other embellishments.
on't modify photos by cutting with
specialty edged scissors, as you may change your mind.
Do use page protectors.
Do include keepsakes from your
wedding in your album, such as, your wedding invitation, imprinted napkins,
