Cover Type

Start with the material

The feel in your hands matters as much as the photos inside. Pick the texture you want your family to hold for the next fifty years.

Leather

Supple, richly grained, softens with age. The one people reach for when they want weight and permanence.

heirloom feel · most traditional

Linen

Woven fabric with a matte, tactile finish. Reads editorial and considered. Pairs with every interior.

most color options · modern classic

Paper

Clean, matte, quietly elegant. The lightest feel with an art-book finish. Lovely when the photos should speak for themselves.

Cover Imprint

Anything on the front?

Some couples love their names, a date, or a short phrase. Others prefer the material to speak for itself. Both look stunning.

Yes, add it

Names, date, or a short phrase on the front, in the font of your choice.

Sarah & Josh

Keep it blank

Clean cover, no text. Lets the material and color stand alone.

Cover Text

What should it say?

Type exactly how you'd like it to appear. Your names, the date, a line from your vows. Whatever you'd love to see when you open the cabinet twenty years from now.
