Album – Misty & Luis

I always get super excited when I see packages leaning on my front door, or set on my porch bench. As silly as it may sound to some people, I absolutely love getting mail! Especially when it’s a package I’ve been anxiously waiting for, consistently trolling the tracking online, until the very day it’s scheduled to arrive.

Well for one reason or another, I wasn’t on top of the tracking for the huge package I saw standing upright, as I strolled down the walkway to my front door yesterday afternoon. I immediately thought, “ooh! wonder what that is…” and my eyes grew even bigger as I approached the box and saw the words “ZookBinders” written on it! It was Misty and Luis’ Bridal album!! The lovely people at Zookbinders took my designs, and sent them back to me in tangible form– beautifully and amazingly put together– a family heirloom that will last a lifetime.

And no matter that this isn’t the first album I’ve had made, received, and set my eyes upon after taking it out of the box… I think I will always be in awe of just how fabulous they turn out! Seriously one day, when I have the time, I will turn my own wedding album into one of these beauties!

So without further ado, here are a few photos I snapped of it…

 

 

All books come with a protective “pillow case” cover:

 

 

And viola! Here’s it is!!

 

 

You can have your names and wedding date imprinted onto the cover (with several color ink options):

 

 

The Zookbook comes with a handful of leather options, but this particular one is called “Napa Leather”, which also comes in a variety of colors, and is basically a soft feeling, highly textured suede, and it’s just the coolest feeling to run your fingers on it:

 

 

Check out the sweet gilding, which is the lining ends of each page. This book was made with silver gilding, to match the name imprint on the cover (black and gold are also available). Plus, look how thick each page is!

 

 

Ok so is the layout structure of the album amazing or what! Look how the pages lie flat:

 

 

Here’s a better view of one of the best features of this album:

 

 

 

And one last view…
