The Wedding Album Fashion Series
Inspired by the Tom Ford Coffee Table Books
The traditional photo album has evolved from a simple collection of images into a statement of opulence and sophistication. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Tom Ford coffee table books, these luxury wedding albums have emerged in a refined monochrome style to capture a one-time special event and the meaningful moments.
The Tom Ford Aesthetic
Tom Ford, renowned for his contributions to fashion and design, is celebrated for his impeccable taste and attention to detail. His coffee table books are more than just collections of images; they are works of art that embody a sense of luxury, exclusivity, and effortless style.
The books are meticulously crafted, featuring striking visuals, and a timeless appeal that elevates them to the status of collectible treasures.
The allure of Ford’s coffee table books lies in their ability to showcase photographs while creating an experience — one that speaks to the senses and evokes emotions. This philosophy is inspiring our new Fashion Series of wedding albums, leading to a new standard of opulence in how couples commemorate their special day.
Tom Ford’s debut best-selling hardcover photography book released back in 2004 is a contemporary classic that still resides on the coffee tables in many homes today.
Featuring a black cloth cover with white bold font titled Tom Ford, it’s testament to his influential dark, moody and monochromatic era.
As a fashion icon, Tom Ford exudes luxury and sophistication having worked with fashion brands Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. Tom Ford’s time at Gucci is described as “he transformed the fashion house into one of the sexist fashion brands in the world”.
Fashion-forward wedding albums
you’d be proud to display alongside
your favourite coffee table books.
Seventeen years after the release of his iconic, best-selling debut book Tom Ford, he released the second chapter Tom Ford 002.
Volume 002 reaffirms Ford as a leading fashion designer with iconic imagery of his fashion collection, editorials featuring top models and advertising campaigns shot by the worlds top photographers.
This volume of his photography hardcover book has an opposing lighter look with its sensual white aesthetic and bold black font.
Equally a must-have collector item for any fashion connoisseur or lover of stylish coffee table books.
In an interview with Vogue, Tom Ford explained with Volume 002 he wanted to continue with the same chronological format, because he thinks fashion moves in a chronological way. Just as Volume 002 continues his next chapter, weddings also follow a chronological format and just one of the chapters in a couples love story.
Not that we feel that was an important motivator when choosing the Tom Ford books as inspiration for our luxury wedding album fashion series, it doesn’t hurt sharing similarities between fashion and weddings.
Tom Ford continues to tell Vogue, “the most interesting thing about it is that in fashion we rarely look back. We’re always worried about what are we going to do next?“. We also recognise that after a wedding, couples move onto the next chapter, whether it’s buying a house, having their first baby or just living life.
Ford goes onto explain as he was working on Volume 002 he began remembering a bunch of stuff.
“Because looking at family pictures you immediately go, “Oh god, yes I remember. I remember what I was. I remember what I did. I remember what I was thinking. I remember music. I remember this show. I remember what city I was living in.” And so it was cathartic in that way” … Really in so many ways, now personally as well, it was the end of the chapter and the end of a period in my life.” — Tom Ford
In the way Ford comes to the conclusion that the second book is a great way of looking back and remembering a certain time in his life, a photo album is a cathartic way to press pause and remember this stage of your relationship up until the wedding day, in preparation to move into your next chapter — married life.
It’s whats inside that counts … but —
this one time we encourage you
to judge a book by its cover.
Disregarding the meaningful reasons, the Tom Ford books are aesthetically pleasing to look at. It’s said not to judge a book by its cover, however we can’t help but judge the classic black & white book covers as truly beautiful art books.
The monochromatic look will ensure your wedding album makes a statement and becomes a timeless keepsake, just as the Tom Ford coffee table books are timeless classics in home decor and fashion nostalgia.
