Not Every Couple Wants Their Faces Glaring Back At Them From The Coffee Table
That’s why we have typography-only designs for our album covers too.
Why We’re Ditching Photo Covers for Typography Wedding Album Covers
Don’t panic, we are not ditching photo covers from our product range anytime soon, if ever! But as designers, we are addicted to typography (or I should say collectors), so we thought we’d add a collection of typography-only wedding album cover designs.
We get it. You love your wedding photos—truly. But maybe you don’t need your smiling faces blown up on the front cover of your coffee table for all to see… every single day!
Enter: typographic wedding album covers—designed for couples who like their wedding memories served with a side of style, colour, and seriously cool design vibes. Because, let’s face it, not every couple is into the whole “giant portrait on the cover” thing. Some prefer a little mystery, modern vibes, and a whole lot of not generic and not boring.
So, What’s a Typography-Only Cover Anyway?
Think sleek. Think bold. Think custom-designed wedding albums that feature just text on the cover—no portraits, no awkward posing, no weirdly cropped selfies. Just your names, your wedding date, and maybe a lyric or quote that screams you.
It could be something as classic as “The Smiths – 1st September 2025” in elegant serif type, or something cheeky like “Best Day Ever” in chunky, retro-inspired lettering. Whether you lean towards minimalist or full-on colour maximalist, typography-focused covers are all about letting your vibe take centre stage.
Why Typographic Covers Are Totally Having a Moment
Let’s be honest: traditional wedding albums can feel, well, a little too traditional. We’re here for the couples who want to do things differently—and that starts with the cover.
Typography is:
- Timeless and Trendy at the same time.
- Perfect for mixing fonts, colours, and design elements that reflect your personal style.
- Less pressure—you don’t have to choose the one perfect photo for the cover.
- A great way to match your album to your home décor or wedding colour palette.
And let’s not forget—not everyone wants their wedding album to look like everyone else’s. Some want an album that looks more like a design book, or a stylish coffee table book, maybe resembling an iconic Tom Ford hardcover book, you’d be proud to show off on your coffee table (without looking like you’re your own biggest fan—no judgment, though!).
For the Design-Loving Couple
If you’re the kind of couple who sent out wedding invites that looked like mini art prints, chose unique signage for your day, or carefully curated every detail from florals to fonts—these covers are for you!
We’ve created a range of typography-first cover templates that are fresh, fun, and a little bit edgy. Whether you’re after:
-
- Bold modern sans-serifs
-
- Playful hand-drawn type
-
- Elegant script + serif combos, or
-
- Retro typography that feels straight out of a 70s design mag…
We’ve got you covered (pun totally intended). The cover templates can be customised with your names, wedding date and preferred text in keeping with the personal, one-of-a-kind thing we do here at The Coffee Table Book.
Colourful. Quirky. Custom.
Let’s talk colour. Because not every wedding album needs to be white, cream, or beige. Yawn. These covers come in a variety of bold and pastel hues, but our skilled designers can adjust the designs to incorporate your wedding colour palette—so your typography design can pop.
Want a hot pink cover with bold black type? Go for it.
Dreaming of a yellow cover with butterflies? Done.
Feeling soft lilac with white script front energy? We can do it.
Or our favourite colour combo, pink and red together? Perfect for modern romantics.
Our printed canvas series has opened up the playing field when it comes to typography album covers. Because we can print edge-to-edge on the full cover wrap (front cover around the spine and back cover) we can print bigger than ever before, and get as creative as we like. Exciting times for designing photo album covers.
The point is: your album should be as unique and full of personality as your love story—and we’re here to make that happen.
The Bottom Line: Wedding Albums Don’t Have to Be Generic or Boring!
There’s a new kind of wedding album in town, and it’s not playing by the old rules. Typographic covers are for the couple who wants to make a statement—not just about their love, but about their taste, their style, and their refusal to blend in.
Because not every couple wants their faces glaring back at them from the coffee table—some just want a killer design and a whole lot of “wow, where’d you get that?”
