Framed Polaroid's
A popular type of photo over many generations, polaroid’s can help capture that nostalgic feeling from bygone years. Why not frame your cherished polaroid’s in an eye catching picture frame that attracts the attention of all guests. We've put together a comprehensive table that outlines the print sizes for the most popular instant cameras..
| Instant Film Range | Camera Model | Total Print Size | Image Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polaroid Originals 600, i-Type | Polaroid Originals OneStep 2, Plus previous Polaroid 600 cameras. | 10.8 x 8.8cm | 7.8 x 7.68cm |
| Polaroid SX-70 Film | Polaroid Spectra | 10.7 x 8.8cm | 7.9 x 7.9cm |
| Polaroid Originals Spectra / Image | Polaroid Spectra | 10.3 x 10.2cm | 7.3 x 9.1cm |

We can't cut frames sized less than 8.9cm (89mm). So if your polaroid picture is smaller than this you'll need to make sure you order a mount with your frame.
Keepsakes
That shoebox full of things you'd kept (but didn't know why) is about to become your best friend. It's hopefully full of little items that'll look amazing on your wall. Here's some of our favourite ideas based on things we've framed in the past:
- Holiday ticket
Perhaps you have kept a memento from your past together. A first plane ticket, or a token from a special holiday. Framing a keepsake like this can be a highly personal gift. Anything with sentimental value to you both is perfect for gifting. - First date memories
A popular first date option is the cinema, if only to avoid awkward silences as you get to know one another at a steady pace. If you still have the cinema tickets, or a poster from the movie why not get it framed? - Gig ticket / wristband
If you have visited one of the big music festivals in the UK or abroad why not frame your entry ticket or wristband? We suggest a frame and mount with a multi aperture which displays your favourite festival getaways from start to finish. - Love notes / cute mementos
Are you traditional romantics? Have you salvaged any love notes, or a simple post it note that really made you laugh, or cheered you up during a difficult day. Why not frame some of these moments? However, if you are on the younger side and don’t use pen or pencil for your messages, screengrabs of romantic WhatsApp’s could be a very 21st century idea.
Framed Maps
Perhaps you are one of the lucky couples who are well traveled and have explored interesting parts of the world together. A framed map pinpointing places you have visited can be a wonderful callback to your adventures with one another. We absolutely love these by Louisa Elizabeth. The maps are dry-mounted onto foam board and framed ready for you to remember your special destinations.
Something Old in Something New
If you happen to be married, framing your wedding memories is a wonderful way to showcase your commitment to one another. Framing these is super easy to do and forms a permanent memento of your special day.

Gallery Wall
The perfect way to tell your story, the gallery wall is a selection of picture frames displaying precious moments. A thoughtful gallery wall can be the perfect gift to tell your very own personal story, from the very first date, to the present day.
The Staged Photo
Arguably the most the most simple idea of all, but one that will really stand out with the right frame. Upload a picture, customise your perfect picture frame, and pick a mount to make your special image pop. Staging this photo next to a cultural monument will provide that additional wow factor to your pose with one another. Inspiration for landmarks to catch within this photo could be but are not limited to the Eifel Tower in Paris, or the Grand Canyon in Arizona! This powerful image can be a real statement piece for your home.
