Help with sepia pics.

[maslex]

I have a 5x7 and two 4x6 photos in sepia tone of my grandparents wedding from 1943. I would love to do a layout of it but since I've never done anything with either black/white or sepia, I'm having trouble choosing what kind of paper I should use. Or even embellishments. I don't think I want to use traditional wedding ones (white dress/black tux/limo/bright flowers). Can someone give me some ideas? Show me what you've done with sepia tone? Thanks so much.

Try doing monochromatic layouts. With Sepia I'd mat with a cream color and the use greens pr purples with a rich hue.

Here are some mono layouts I did with b&w pics

I too would go monochromatic. I'd also try to embellishments that invoke the feeling of the 40's... buttons or even small scraps of fabric. Script type fonts for the title or the journalling... I go with a soft feel when I use Sepia.
