Beautiful Wall Art for Your Home...

How will you hang?

Now is the time that you can sit back and enjoy every moment captured during your wedding day as you scroll through your gallery. From getting ready, flowing into your ceremony and enjoying life to the full at your reception every ounce of energy was worth it! The truth of the matter is, you are IN LOVE with your wedding images and want to print everything and share them with the world. Yet this time around, you have the opportunity to sit down with your spouse and choose artwork for you home.

These are defining moments because your special moments will hang around your home. Whether it’ll be a smaller 16x20 for a hallway mounted print or a state of the art 20x30 jaw-dropping acrylic.

How does this process work?

This is a simple process yet it’s very intriguing. Through your gallery you will carefully select a few images that you’d like to be printed by pressing the heart and it’ll be added to your “Wall Art” favorites folder from the gallery. Just in case you guys forgot, I’ll be adding a separate folder so you can see the images that was selected. I’ll ensure the image is cropped perfect, color is vibrant and the image is clean for printing.

A Few Suggestions

  • Survey your home to know where you’d like to hang your wedding wall art

  • If there’s a image you love but would like it in B & W for print, feel free to request it.

  • If possible, use a measuring tape to ensure the size you are ordering fits perfectly.

  • Hang pictures at eye level

  • If hanging a picture over a sofa, don't leave a lot of wall space between sofa and picture. Try for three to six inches. If you go any higher, the viewer's eye will just go to the wall, not the picture.

  • Look for a picture-hanging kit at the hardware, Lowe’s, Amazon or your local Home Depot store. It will include everything you need. And keep in mind, the picture's weight will determine what size hook to use. For a very large picture, use two hooks.

Here are some clear steps from www.architecturaldigest.com

  • 1. Decide on a strategy. The weight, size, and shape of the item you're hanging and the material of your walls both need to be considered before you so much as get near a hammer. Can I drill into brick? What about tile? Will my plaster walls hold anything and what the heck is a stud?

  • 2. Gather supplies. Besides a hammer, measuring tape, and pencil, you'll need the following supplies to hang art on plaster or drywall (essentially more weight-bearing supplies for heavier artwork):

    For light-weight pieces: small nails For medium-weight pieces: picture-hangers. For heavier pieces: a big nail and a stud-finder or wall-plug anchors, screws that fit them, and a screwdriver

    If you're hanging on tile or glass, you'll need good-quality, low-profile adhesive hooks rather than nails and screws, and if you're hanging on brick, use brick clamps.

  • 3. Hang the thing. Yes, there is a semi-science to the art of getting the height of a piece just right—it's called measuring (!). To be exact, the center of a framed piece of artwork should be 57 inches above the ground (that being the average human eye level, and the height galleries and museums use to decide where to hang pieces). Mark that height using a pencil, then measure to find the middle of the wall (from side to side), and mark where the two points meet. That's where the middle of your artwork should go! Now, measure the distance between the middle of the piece and where it will catch the nail (either where the wire hits when bent to bear weight, or where the saw tooth hanger is.
