The wedding design on a heart-shaped glass ornament with your photograph. The outline is the obvious one for the occasion and it is also the most demanding, because a heart removes more of a photograph than any other shape we make.

What the Shape Will and Will Not Take

A heart narrows sharply towards the bottom and falls away at the upper corners, and the wedding design takes a further share of the glass before the picture is placed. The usable area is a modest region in the upper middle. Two heads close together fit it well, which is fortunate, because that is the photograph most couples want on it. A full length shot of the dress does not fit, and neither does a group on the steps of a church.

Choose the Portrait, Not the Day

This is the practical consequence. Wedding albums are full of wide pictures that tell the story of an occasion, and almost none of them survive a heart-shaped crop. The one that does is the close portrait of the two people, which is usually the picture they would have chosen anyway. Decide that before ordering rather than hoping the crop will work out.

Two Ornaments Rather Than One

Couples often buy two: a heart for themselves and a square for the parents, where the wider crop keeps the whole group in the frame and everybody can find themselves in it. The two shapes are answering different questions, which is why owning both is less redundant than it sounds. Your photo is in full colour, so a white dress stays white, and the glass passes light, so it reads best with a bulb behind it.

A Note on Size

A large heart dominates a small tree, and a first married Christmas is often celebrated around a small tree, in a flat, with decorations bought that month. The middle size is the one most couples end up glad they chose, and it is the one that still looks right twenty years later on a bigger tree in a bigger house.

Seven shapes in all. Heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone and paw. You can build a set from whichever shapes you want. The discount runs from 10% at two to 50% at fifteen.

For a faded original, Colour Enhancement is $1.99 per image. Any combination of shapes can go into one set. Two or more take 10% off, fifteen take 50%.

Wedding Photo Glass Heart Ornament FAQs

You can upload any high-quality image that you’d like to have engraved in your crystal. That could be a favorite family photo or a picture of you and your spouse. It could also be a really great selfie or a picture of your dog. Everyone has unique memories that are special to them, and at ArtPix 3D, we totally get that.

So go ahead! Upload a photo of the llama you saw at the petting zoo, the cactus that poked you on your family vacation, or the treehouse you used to hang out in before it got struck by lightning. Maybe this picture is linked to a significant moment in your life, or maybe it’s part of an elaborate inside joke; either way, we’re happy to engrave it in a custom crystal keepsake that you can treasure forever.

All our crystal items come in a custom black gift box with internal padding, which protects your crystal during shipment, and offers a great way to store your crystal securely when not on display.

Ordering a custom crystal online at ArtPix 3D is easy! You’ll start by selecting a crystal product from our shop. Next, you’ll upload your photo and adjust its position on a template of your crystal shape. Once you’re happy with your preview, you can customize your crystal by choosing your size and writing a note or caption to be engraved below your image. You can also select various add-ons to be included with your order, such as light bases, greeting cards, and a cleaning kit.

When you’re finished, double-check to make sure you’re satisfied with the customization options you selected. Next, check the box that reads “The personalization I entered is correct,” and select Add to Cart.

You’ll have another opportunity to confirm your personalization in your cart. Check your order summary to verify that the size, shape, and orientation (if applicable) of your crystals are correct. You should also proofread any text and make sure your selected add-ons are all present and accounted for. If you enabled ArtPix HD for your photo, your summary should confirm it.

Next, enter your payment and shipping details. If you have a discount code, you can apply it at this stage under Apply Coupon. You can also provide any custom instructions under Order Notes. Finally, select Place Order to finalize your purchase.
