There are many motifs which are 'standard' for weddings; doves, rings, shoes, flowers (especially in bouquets) and, of course hearts.

Rings are tricky to cut out, so if you're looking for a ring embellishment the best thing is to find a suitable rubber stamp. Using gold or silver embossing powder, stamp and emboss the ring on a square of card and if you can, make it look as much like THE ring (wedding or engagement) as you can. Cut the square out, mount on a slightly larger square of contrasting or gold or silver card (preferably textured) possibly using a foam pad for dimension, and you have a basic but effective wedding embellishment.

Wedding scrapbooks are usually full of wedding cake shaped embellishments, but if I can get hold a good wedding cake shape, I like to use them as tags. Every page needs at least one tag, so if you're working on a whole wedding scrapbook rather than just a layout, you can save time by making a batch. The easiest thing to use is a die cut of a wedding cake. You can usually find these advertised on eBay or you may even have the die if you have a die cutting machine. If you can make your own, pearlized card looks lovely, and is usually available in white or ivory as well as shell pink, all good colors for a wedding.

There is a sizzix bigz die which is perfect for this. Cut one from plain paper and one from fancy and write your journaling on the plain version. Be careful to do that before you assemble your tag, it's not fun afterwards! You could turn the fancy tag into an elaborate cake by adding tiny pearly dots from a soufflé pen to give an icing effect and then decorate with the smallest cut out flowers you can find in several toning colors. You can then stick your journaling on the back and add to your page with enough ribbon for someone to turn it if they want to read. Or trim the journaling until it is slightly smaller and mount it on top of the full size cake shape. In either case add a ribbon or fiber so you can add the tag to the page. You can use the same technique to cut out shoes and add some tiny flowers where the buckles would be. Personally I like to finish most things with a little transparent glitter, but not everyone likes glitter as much as I do!

Flower embellishments can be made by cutting out flowers from any flowery scrapbooking paper, such as the le-romantique two sided paper 'loves labyrinth'. The design features a number of rose pairs. Cut out one entire design to use as a base and then cut out single elements. Add these to the base with a spot of silicone glue and tease into a 3D shape. When dry you can add tiny spots of clear glitter to finish it off. The result is an embellishment which will be a perfect match for a layout made with the l-romantique papers, tags and frames.

You can also make flowers from die cuts or even more cheaply using a stencil or template such as '20 Blossoms' from Hot off the Press. Many sheets of acrylic stamps include different sized flower heads. You can stamp these, cut them out and layer them together, gently curling the petals for a 3D effect. For something modern try 'Mindy's flowers' from Mindy Terawasa which provides swirls and stems you can stamp on your scrapbook pages while you add the 3d flower heads you have created. For a truly delicate look, try making your flower head from vellum and add just a tiny amount of sparkle. Then glue several flower heads together to make a simple bouquet.

Tiny 3D flowers look great attached to almost anything, a conventional tag, even one originally designed for a parcel, can be made to look good with a few 3d flowers. But weddings are one place where a heart motif is most definitely appropriate. The good news is that this is usually very easy to find. Many craft punches will create hearts of different configurations, but don't just use the cut outs. You can use the heart punches to embellish your wedding pages by cutting a strip of paper, plain if your background is patterned, patterned if your background is plain. Punch the strip and remove the punched out hearts (for use on other pages), then either placing the paper strip back direct over your background, or put a ribbon below it to make a very decorative border. Ribbon can be very useful in creating a contrast of texture as well as color and satin ribbon provides a beautiful shiny surface which looks very luxurious.

There are so many possibilities when it comes to wedding pages, I am often surprised that some people shy away from them in the belief that there's little creativity involved. Your scrapbook is what you make it and that's half the fun. One day create a layout from a design you've seen and embellishments you've bought, the next do it all from scratch and really express yourself. There are no rights and wrongs. Only what appeals to you!

You can can find all the embellishments and scrapbook paper You Need at dinglefoot's scrapbooking supplies.
