Wedding Photo Collages – the Perfect Gift!
Sep 7th
Celebrate your wedding by turning your wedding photos into a collage. It’s a great way to surprise your partner! Our InstaCollage Maker makes it super easy to create your collage from Facebook photos. If you’ve uploaded your wedding photos on Facebook, simply select them in the collage maker and it will layout the photos for you!
Tips for making a great wedding photo collage
- When selecting photos, more close-ups then full body photos
- If you’re going to be ordering a large print of your collage, such as a 20″ x 30″ or 24″ x 36″, be sure to select more than 50 photos. If you’ll be ordering a smaller print size, like 8″ x 12″, then we recommend using less photos so that each photo appears larger in the collage.
- Remember to play around with the border and color options in the collage maker. Consider using a thin border, as that makes photos in your collage standout.

Tips for Selecting Photos for a Photo Collage
The first and foremost tip for creating a good photo collage is to remember that a collage has multiple photos in it. This means that when you’re selecting your photos you want to make sure that the focus is on the person rather than the background. You also need to use photos where faces are clearly visible. It’s usually a good idea to use more close-up photos and fewer full body ones.
The minimum suggested photos for a high quality printout is 20. That shouldn’t be too hard with all the family birthdays, holidays, school plays and other events going on throughout the year. If however, you feel that 20 is too much then consider using smaller printing options such as the photo size or the basic free download. Also, if you have a small number of photos try the Poster Maker instead, which allows you to manually layout photos on a canvas.
Techniques for Customizing Your Collage
- One of the first editing options you’ll see in the Collage Maker is selecting photo borders. Play around with border colors and thickness and shuffle the photos at this stage to get the best look for your collage.
- By playing with color themes you can achieve a very artsy look for your collage. This will be the next step before making other, more specific adjustments.
- The next option will be too add a frame to your collage. This is a great way to highlight the title of the photo or even for adding one single image that you want to place emphasis on.
- Finally, you can add highlight photos, text, and clipart on top of the collage. A highlight photo with a title above/below it looks especially nice on a frame in the center of the collage.
