Wedding Gowns
Typically, your wedding dress gets packed away for several years, unused and forgotten, until your daughter wants to wear it on her own wedding day. When you unpack it, the fabric is yellowed, moth-eaten and unwearable. Why not prevent that damage and put it on display? You'll be reminded of your special day every time you see it, and framing will keep it safe from the elements. We only use reversible mounting methods so the dress will be in pristine condition should your daughter want to wear it one day.

Vintage Family Heirlooms
Preserve your family's history by framing old wedding keepsakes you have tucked away. The old newspaper announcement, Grandma's lace gloves, and that charming vintage portrait will all be better preserved in a custom frame. Put your heritage on display so those precious family memories will not be forgotten.

Create a custom design that is as unique as your graduate!
You can choose whatever frame moulding and style suits your personality and decor. Different design options completely change how a diploma looks! For an interesting twist, incorporate bold school colors, textured fabric mats, complementary fillets, or metallics that match the diploma seal. Consider including photos, class pictures, graduation announcements, tassels, and caps to personalize your framed diploma. Transform graduation memorabilia into memories your graduate will treasure forever.

Classic Design
High school and college diplomas have a very traditional, classic style. Ornate diploma fonts are generally paired with a metallic seal on an off-white parchment. You can design your project in any decor style you wish, but you can never go wrong with these classic looks.

Preserve Your Diploma For Years To Come - Custom Framing Can Extend The Life Of Your Diploma
Diplomas are meant to be displayed and enjoyed for years - sometimes even a lifetime. If framed improperly, your diploma could quickly show the effects of time, sun damage, and acid burn. Don't let this important document be ruined! Proper custom framing helps preserve your diploma with UV protected glass, and acid-free matboard and materials. This keeps the document in an environment that slows deterioration.

A Few Tips on Storing Your Diploma Before Framing...

• Avoid keeping your diploma in direct contact with acidic materials like cardboard. You'd be amazed at how quickly acid can discolor a document!
  
• Don't keep your diploma in direct sunlight. Fading and discoloration can occur extremely fast with an unprotected document.
  
• Store your document flat. Rolling it increases the chance of getting permanent waves in the materials, or even worse, wrinkles and creases.
  

A Brief History Lesson...
Diplomas used to be a work of art, featuring intricate calligraphy and designs, hand-lettered on sheepskin. They were traditionally rolled because if folded, they would crease and eventually break. It was also easier to handle rolled documents while traveling. The diploma was developed as a communication tool - traveling scholars needed to prove that they were "certified." Now it communicates your credentials to your clientele, still serving the same essential function.

Today, degrees are commonplace; thousands of students earn some form of diploma or degree every year. Printing diplomas on paper rather than sheepskin is much more cost-effective. As technology advanced, diploma designs became more basic; embossing, colored ink, and metallic seals are now the norm.
