Wedding Album Restoration: Saving sentimental wedding album covers

We can help in that regard and use several bookbinding techniques to incorporate your existing wedding album cover into a new cover. Because the condition of each wedding album is different, we will need to inspect the album first and give you our recommendations. Click on the photos for larger images.

Save an original and make a copy for friends or family
The album on the left was the original condition. It was falling apart and the pages needed to be rebound. We were able to save a substantial portion of the original cover and created a special cover that allowed the cover to be saved. We were asked to make an additional album of photos and the second album was foil stamped on the cover.
Photo albums may need hinge repair
Most often, wedding albums also need some attention to the pages or the hinges. Here we were able to rehinge the album to not only make it gorgeous but functional.

Testimonials
Another very satisfied customer - Wedding Album
"Every aspect and step along this process of replacing our very sticky, unusable and 32 yr old wedding album was perfect.
The feel of a family run business started on the 1st phone call. They helped us choose the color and replacement material.
When the new album arrived we were tickled and extremely pleased. Would recommend Bella Becho to anybody. You will be very happy with the choice."

Album repair experience
"I recently (Jan 2020) had my album repaired. It had a covering that had turned sticky and it seems there was a history of this occurring with this album from 1983. Bella Becho company made it so easy for me to send my album from Indiana to Texas and order a repair of my album.
Staff at Bella Becho were so polite and clear in their instructions. I really appreciate this because I was nervous about sending my wedding album off to Texas. My new repaired album is exactly the way that I ordered it and I am 100% satisfied and highly recommend this company to everyone."

Wedding Album Cover
"Wow, I love the new cover on my wedding album! I’ve been married for 36 years and when I saw the condition the cover was in a few months ago I had tears in my eyes. I had no idea what to do and who to turn to.
So glad I found Bella Becho. Such a helpful and professional company with genuine, kind employees. Great recommendations and put my trust in a company with my only photos of my wedding and have to be honest and say I was a little reluctant; but after speaking with Deborah and her staff I was put at ease. Thank you for giving our wedding album a beautiful life-long cover that I am so happy with!"

Restoration of parent's wedding album
"Our mother told her 5 children that she wanted one thing for their 60th wedding anniversary; her wedding album restored. We said sure, but truly had no idea where to even go to have the book restored. I googled book restoration and Bella Becho popped up. I reviewed their website and thought, this is just what we need.
I contacted Bella through their website explaining the issues with the album and uploaded pictures of it. I was contacted by Deborah and had a delightful conversation about the restoration process and cost. We had about 2 months to get the project completed and Bella did not let us down. We presented the album to our parents last weekend, and they were so pleased. They spent a lot of time going through each page and telling us who everyone was in the pictures. Thank you Bella Becho for helping these 5 children fulfill their parent's 60th wedding anniversary wish!"

Replacement Wedding Album
"I had a great experience getting my daughters Wedding Album cover replaced. Debbie was friendly informative and helpful. I received the album in the time period that I was quoted and was very pleased with the finished product. I recommended Bella Becho to my neighbor who had the same issues with her wedding album. I'm sure that you will be hearing from her. I am so pleased that I will be able to present the new album to my daughter and son-in-law for their 30th wedding anniversary.
I can't thank you enough."

Recreated 1979 Wedding Album and Custom Storage Box
"When our wedding album from 1979 was in its 43rd year the cover material began to deteriorate, Bella Becho knew exactly what to do and how to restore, or in our case, recreate our wedding album. I say recreate because not only did the album covers need replaced, the liners on the insides of the covers were badly faded....
Jeff at Bella Becho discussed all of the details at length with me and thoroughly covered all of the material and embossing options for the new album. We ended up with a much better version of our original album, made with better materials, that fit our original pages better than our old album. We chose embossing which was very close to our original, and reused the brass oval framed cover photo from our original album. The result is an album that looks like our original, but it’s better!
When the album was about done, I asked Jeff if Bella Becho could make an attractive storage box for the new album to protect it. Bella Becho came up with a beautiful box, coordinated and embossed to compliment and protect the album.
We are very pleased with the results and with the experience we had working with Bella Becho. They were able to do things for us that I don’t think we could have gotten done anywhere else. This custom work was not inexpensive, and it took time to plan, to schedule, and to create, but it turned our worn out old wedding album into a beautiful, durable, and well protected family heirloom. Thank you Bella Becho! We highly recommended you!"
