Tips & Warnings
Try to find your scrapbook early on in the wedding planning, maybe once the theme has been chosen. Then you can start buying some paper each time you visit your local craft or paper store. Try to buy an extra sheet of your favorites and keep small samples with you so you can match perfectly each time you shop. Mix and match styles and colors on each page as long as there is one connecting element. For example if one page is going to have a picture of a few bridesmaids, use paper that has the color of their dresses even if that color is a small part of the pattern.
Only buy the paper if you love it because it will eventually be in a scrapbook you will want to show off.
