Wedding Keepsake Ideas to Always Remind You of Your Big Day

Of course you've made sure your photographer took hundreds (okay, thousands) of snapshots of your big day, but trust us — you can only frame so many wedding photos! Instead, we suggest stashing away some extra special wedding mementos to help you remember every wedding day detail for years to come.

Sprinkling some special trinkets and keepsakes around your home — like these ultra-unique finds — is a guaranteed way to bring back that flood of sweet sentiments and emotions with every glance. Not to mention, the functionality of many of these mementos is a pretty cool plus. Here are some of our favorite wedding keepsake ideas.

This linen-covered book opens completely, to 180 degrees, making flipping through it (everyday, of course) just too easy. ("Layflat" photo album, starting at $119, Artifact Uprising)
