Wedding Photo Collage Maker
Indian weddings run for days and produce thousands of photographs across several functions. The mistake most people make is putting mehndi, haldi, sangeet and the wedding itself into one collage — the colour palettes clash badly and the result looks chaotic. One collage per function, each with its own colour treatment, reads far better.
The Wedding template is deliberately restrained: cream gradient, thin metallic gold border, a Great Vibes script headline. The photographs are already saturated with red, gold and green, so the frame has to stay quiet.
If this is going into a physical album, build it at A4 from the start and keep faces and text at least five millimetres from the edge. Print shops trim, and the trim is not always where you expect.

Recommended canvas size
1080 × 1350 px (4:5 portrait)
Portrait suits wedding photography, which is mostly shot vertically, and takes maximum space in an Instagram feed. For an album page or a framed print, switch to A4.
How to make it
- Upload photos from one function Keep mehndi, haldi and the wedding separate. Four to six per collage.
- Apply the Wedding template Celebrations tab, then Wedding. Hero layout with a gold border on a cream gradient.
- Set the couple's names Replace "Forever & Always" with the names and the date. Great Vibes is the closest match to wedding invitation lettering.
- Even out the colour Wedding venues mix daylight, tungsten and LED. Apply the Warm or Cool preset per photo until they sit together.
- Export at print quality Use the 300 DPI PDF if it is going into an album or a frame.
Tips that actually change the result
- Gold borders look expensive at 4 to 5 px and cheap at 15 px. Keep them thin.
- If one photo is much darker than the rest, crop tighter on the faces rather than brightening it — brightening a dark venue shot brings up the noise.
- For a save-the-date, use the Pinterest Pin style instead: it is a tall 2:3 canvas with a hero photo at the top and room for text.
What usually goes wrong
Each function has a dominant palette. Together they clash and the collage reads as unplanned. One collage per function.
Gold looks expensive at 4 to 5 px and like a school certificate at 15 px. Restraint is what makes it read as elegant.
Lifting exposure on a dim mandap photo brings up all the sensor noise with it. Crop tighter on faces instead.
Venues run daylight, tungsten and coloured LED at once. Without per-photo Warm or Cool correction the set never looks like one event.
Questions
What size should a wedding collage be for printing?
A4 at 2480 × 3508 px, exported as a 300 DPI PDF. That is the standard a print shop expects, and 300 DPI is the point past which the eye stops seeing extra detail on paper.
Should I mix photos from different wedding functions?
Usually not. Each function has its own dominant colour — yellow for haldi, green and orange for mehndi, red and gold for the wedding — and mixing them makes the collage look unplanned. Make one per function.
Can I remove the background from a couple photo?
Yes, using the Remove Background tools. It works best when the couple is against a plain backdrop; a busy mandap background needs the eraser brush.
