Pictures are great mementos of your wedding, but they do not have to be the only reminders of your special day. Creating a shadow box to recall the details is a great way to display the little things that made your wedding unique! Our client wanted to remember every moment and this shadow box was just the way to do that. Look below to see how the SFGD staff put together this memorable collection.
