In preparation for the upcoming bridal show in Chantilly, I had some sample wedding albums made for the display. The Seldex 10 inch square album from Finao is the one shown here. It is a more traditional album in that it is made with photographic prints that are matted to the pages of the book. I have seen many albums that are available at retail shops, but this album is definitely a cut above. The cover on this particular album is “Burgundy Nepal” color made from an imitation leather material.

Mat Prints
I assemble each of these albums myself. It starts with designing of mat placement, editing and retouching of the photos. Finally the assembling of the photos/mats to the final book pages.
Each mat in the album is white with a white core although other colors and combinations are available from the manufacturer. The mat itself has a very fine texture to give the pages a feel similar to linen right up to the edges of each mat opening.
Each page of the book has a protective metal corner colored to match the pages. In this case it makes book assembly easier. Additionally, protects the edges as the book is used over time.
Seldex Wedding Album
The binding for the book is very thick, and is very secure. The cover material is soft and pliable ensuring a long life of use either on a table or on a shelf. This book is definitely made to be used! This type of album could also be used as a parent album as it can be made in smaller dimensions, or as a proof-like album from a wedding or portrait session. This is definitely recommended if you’re looking for a matted album that is secured in it’s construction, yet customizable for each project.
