Here are a few Tips and Tricks you can use to customize this design even more:

In photoshop, open a picture of the flowers from your wedding, cut them out to isolate them, save the flower cut out with an alpha channel and import them into your editor. Use them in place of the Garden Flowers or Fall Bouquet.

Add a title such as "Our Wedding Day" or "Bouquet Toss" to create a segment title screen.

Just choose a different frame from our Online Store and replace the Vintage Frame in the timeline with our Gold Frame or Wood Frame which are available for purchase as immediate downloads to give the overlay a new look!
