Special Occasion Framing

Often a special occasion photo collection evolves over time. The colors, backgrounds, and people in each one changes. When you place them together on a table, shelf or wall, the contrasts between them can be distracting. Custom framing makes the difference between having a hodgepodge of images and a room that’s polished, sophisticated, and pulled together.

Custom framed special occasion photos make great gifts. There’s nothing more personal and unique than receiving a celebratory photo in a one-of-a-kind frame thoughtfully chosen with the recipient in mind.

We want everything about getting your photo framed to be a positive experience. If you know exactly what you’re looking for, just describe it to us and we’ll help you bring your vision to life. If you’re not sure what type of frame would look best with your photos and décor, we specialize in helping customers make those types of decisions – and be delighted with the results. Just bring us your photos and we’ll help with the rest.

Sometimes people look at the 4,000+ framing choices in our gallery and feel anxious. With that many options, how is it possible to weed out all the ones that aren’t a good match? What if they choose the wrong frame and they aren’t happy with the results? If you’ve had that thought, know that’s one of the best reasons to work with our frame shop.

We have years of experience building custom framing for everything from diplomas to oil paintings to gallery pieces. We know what questions to ask about your decorating style, your furniture, the other objects and artwork in the room, the size of the space to be decorated, and other considerations to select the best choices for your frame. Then, we can give you an idea what those examples would look like and provide you with a quote before you commit.

We have more than 4,000 choices, all from the highest available quality material. Traditional, contemporary, ornate, rustic, or eclectic, whatever your decorating style, we can help you find the framing material that will make you cherish the photo of your special occasion even more. We build frames from wood, steel, acrylic, and other substances, and we also have a range of special touches available. For example, you might choose to enhance your special occasions photo with one of the following:

•       Decorative liners between the photo and frame
•       Frames overlaid in faux or real leather
•       Specialty acrylic frames
•       Oval or round frames
•       Closed corner frames that appear seamless

You have a wide range of choices for every important element of framing your special occasions photo. In addition to offering thousands of types of framing materials, we have almost as many mat colors and textures to choose from. Browse our wide selection of cotton rag mat board, wood pulp mat board, or cellulose mat board. Choose a traditional color or add visual interest with a suede finish, linen look, metallic-finished mats, or a hand-wrapped silk look mat.

A custom frame makes all of life’s special moments look even better. Choose custom framing for special occasions like high school and college graduations, weddings, births, milestone birthdays, and awards ceremonies.

Really, you’re the one who decides if an occasion is important enough for custom framing. If it’s a memory you want to experience over and over, and you want to showcase it in a way others can experience it as well, that image deserves a frame-worthy of its significance.

Special occasions are…special. Those photos aren’t the ones that live on your phone or get posted to social media and forgotten. They’re once-in-a-lifetime occasions – the things you dreamed about and worked hard for.

That’s an easy one for us to help you with. First, we’ll measure your photo to get its dimensions. Then we’ll look at matting and framing options that would show your photo at its best. We’ll pull choices in line with your tastes and the photo itself, and show you examples of what the final product will look like.

At Gold Leaf Gallery, we are art caretakers. Every product we use at is conservation standard, which means designed to protect from damage and deterioration. All of our materials and every one of our techniques keep your photos and art in pristine condition for as long as they’re in your frame.

Cost varies depending on the size of your photo and the materials you choose for framing. Our prices are standardized and at the national average. Often we get bulk discounts because of the number of frames we build. However, we only sell materials that are the best on the market, and we only purchase from environmentally responsible manufacturers. Call us with your measurements and the type of frame you’d like and we can give you a cost estimate.

We provide custom frames for business special occasions as well. Frame diplomas or certifications for office display. Present employee awards in custom frames to make them a treasured keepsake. Or, celebrate retirement with a framed employee photo.

We create unique, personalized custom photo collages for special occasions and all of life’s events.

Yes! If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to frame special occasions photos, we have them available from a variety of vendors in standard sizes.

Keep your special occasions photo looking its best with occasional, gentle cleaning with a soft, damp rag or microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage finishes and seep through to artwork and photos underneath. Dust frames occasionally to prevent particle buildup. Since all glass is fragile, use care when handling.
