Wedding Invitation Collage

My sister in law, who just happens to be my best friend (yes…best friends married brothers…I know, I know…dream come true!!) made me this photo collage for us as a wedding gift. She used our wedding invitation as a focal point and collaged around it. I absolutely love it!

So when I received another friends invitation in the mail, I knew I had to make one for her too. I hope she loves hers as much as I do mine. I found this frame at Goodwill for $0.99. After I took it all apart, I knew it had great potential.

I glued a 1inch thick piece of Styrofoam to the back of the wedding invitation, then glued it to the center of the background. This not only made it a focal point of the frame but gave a neat 3D / shadow box look. I then surrounded the invitation with pictures of the couple and the engagement ring. I also used different cutouts with quotes and cool patterns on it. Her wedding colors were Lilac and Brown so I tried to keep that as my color template throughout the collage.  After I had completely covered the background with pictures, I put the frame back together. This project was super simple and a lot of fun!

I’m still new at this tutorial thing, hence not many pictures. The project is pretty self-explanatory but I will try to do better on my next project and give you more pictures.
