We love guestbooks- instead of just a book with blank pages that ends up in your basement (at least that’s where ours ended up… I think), this is a book that you’ll want to display around the house! Keep it on the coffee table and read the lovely notes from people years from now… instead of reading a list of names (like ours!). Every second of your wedding is a memory waiting to happen, and this is a good way to record the well wishes of the people you love. I can’t remember a thing anyone said to me on our wedding day! The day passes so quickly! This keeps the notes forever and ever. I can’t rave more about this- I just love guestbooks so much.
Here are some photos of a guestbook (copyright NOT Ciras Photography. These are promo shots that we’ll be replacing as soon as our first guestbook comes in.) And they come in various shapes and sizes, covers- leathers and fabrics. Everything s so beautiful, and hand made. We custom design each one for you!
This leather is called "brandywine" but there are about 1,000 more colors and textures. See the texture of this leather? You can get smooth and textured, animal print or pastels. There is a cutout option for a coverphoto. Isn't it so classy?!
See how substantial the pages are? The leather also wraps around the cover so well that there's a cushion on the sides, and the ends are rounded.
Here's an example of the spread. The average guest book is 10 pages- 5 for photos and 5 for signing. We can make the whole photo your picture, or put it in a border, like this
Here's an example of a spread with signatures. We also include a metallic pen for black-paged books.
This cover is called "sidewinder". See how different it is while still being a high-class presentation?
This is the inside of the sidewinder covered guestbook. You can pick black or white pages to match the decor of your wedding.
We have offered guestbooks for a while, but this one is a little fancier. If you’re looking for something a little more laid back, check out this example of Kristen and John’s here:

WOW, these wedding guest books are absolutely beautiful. And is such a great idea to have the photos in the book, rather than just the standard lines for writing your name.
