You’re newlywed, the confetti’s gone, and your photographer’s delivered an exquisite gallery. In Australia, a recycled-timber wedding photo frame is a must-have: natural beauty and organic grain that lets the emotion of your images sing for years to come.

At Mulbury, we make recycled-timber picture frame options in Melbourne—built to last, designed to complement your décor, and ready to do your wedding day justice. Below is a simple guide to choose the right frame, plan a gallery wall, and decide where an album fits in.

Why go Eco-friendly?

Eco-friendly printing and framing isn’t a trend; it’s a tidy way to celebrate your big day without waste. Reclaimed timber means no new trees are cut down, and every piece has its own grain, colour and history—subtle, stylish, and unique to your portrait or favourite shot.

Ideas to frame your wedding (and where to start)

The hero print. Pick one statement portrait (first look, aisle walk, confetti). Give it breathing room in the living room or bedroom—this is your perfect frame moment.
A gallery wall. Mix a large landscape with a couple of smaller prints and detail images (rings, florals, the wedding invitation). Include the wedding party—a wide group and one close-up of the groomsmen or a favourite bridesmaid moment.
Shadow box keepsakes. An elegant, decorative way to tell the whole celebration story—vows, place cards, ribbon, and a ring shot printed small.
Shelf styling. Lean a medium frame beside a small album and a candle; add a silver photo accent for a refined highlight.
Black and white moments. Monochrome prints look glamorous in recycled timber; pair with sleek or vintage touches for extra charm.

How to choose the perfect frame

Pick the print first. Choose the image, then size the frame around it. Cropping changes the feel—ask for print-ready files from your photography team. (Tip: choose one image that works on Instagram and a different crop for print.)
Match finish to mood.

Oiled / natural: warm and versatile; showcases the wood’s organic grain and your image’s natural beauty.
Black: crisp with monochrome or night images;
White: fresh, modern; lets colourful florals pop.
Grey / weathered: coastal calm; lovely with documentary-style images and vintage motifs.

Think matting. A mat adds space and elegance. White or off-white is timeless; a narrow mat feels contemporary.
Orientation matters. Let the image decide—don’t force a landscape into a portrait frame.
Room + light. Busy spaces suit simpler finishes; softer rooms can handle texture. Avoid glare; diffused light keeps prints looking beautifully crisp.

Frames + Albums: why both

Frames put the highlights centre-stage—your everyday joy hit where memories live.
A photo album holds the full narrative—the hugs, dance-floor chaos and quiet in-between moments. Keep an it on the coffee table and rotate framed prints each anniversary to relive the story.
