Wedding Photo Frame 30×40 cm

Photo Frame 30×40 cm – A Versatile Portrait Frame for Every Wedding Keepsake

A wedding leaves you with more than photos. There’s the invitation you chose together, the order of service guests held during the ceremony, and the bouquet you carried down the aisle. Our photo frame 30×40 cm is sized to hold all of these beautifully. At about 11.8 x 15.7 inches, it’s large enough to be noticed but modest enough to fit almost anywhere: a bedroom wall, a hallway, a landing or beside a bookcase.

Each frame is made from smooth MDF, glazed with lightweight HD plexiglass, and finished in black, white, oak or rustic, with hanging hooks fitted to the back.

A Natural Fit for Upright Photos

Most of us hold our phones upright when we take pictures, and many of the loveliest wedding moments are captured in portrait orientation: the walk down the aisle, a full-length shot by a doorway, or the two of you under an archway of flowers. A photo frame 30×40 cm has a 3:4 portrait shape, the same as an upright phone photo, so these images fill the frame without anyone being cropped out. A 30×40 cm print is also a standard size at most UK photo labs, so ordering is simple.

Frame Your Wedding Stationery

The stationery is often one of the most carefully designed parts of a wedding, and it deserves better than a box in the loft. A photo frame 30×40 cm paired with a mount is a beautiful way to keep it:

• Your invitation. A standard A5 or 5×7 inch invitation looks elegant centred in a mount, with plenty of space around it.
• The order of service or menu. An A4 sheet (21 x 29.7 cm) fits comfortably with a border of about 4.5 to 5 cm all round.
• A stationery trio. Use a mount with several openings to display the invitation, the menu and a small photo together in one frame.
• Place cards and save-the-dates. Small pieces can be arranged in a multi-aperture mount for a charming collage.

Mounts can be cut to order by a local framer or bought online. A soft ivory or white mount usually complements wedding stationery best.

Keep a Piece of Your Bouquet

Pressing flowers from your bouquet is a lovely tradition, and a photo frame 30×40 cm is a great size for showing them off. Arrange a few fully pressed, flat blooms on a sheet of thick cream or white card, perhaps alongside a small photo or your wedding date written in calligraphy. Then frame it as you would a print.

A few tips for success:

• Press flowers soon after the wedding, ideally within a day or two, while they’re still fresh.
• Make sure they’re completely flat and dry before framing. The frame’s 8 mm rebate also needs room for the plexiglass and backing board.
• Use a dab of clear craft glue to hold each flower in place on the card.
• Hang the frame away from direct sunlight, as pressed petals fade over time in strong light.

Tell the Story in Three Frames

Rather than choosing just one photo, why not tell the story of the whole day? Hang three matching frames in a row, each showing a different chapter:

Frame	Chapter	Photo idea
1	Ceremony	The vows, the rings, or the walk back up the aisle
2	Portraits	Your favourite photo of the two of you
3	Celebration	The first dance, the speeches, or the confetti

Leave a gap of around 5–8 cm between each photo frame 30×40 cm so the trio reads as one display. Three frames side by side span roughly a metre in total, which suits the wall above a sofa, a bed or a sideboard.

Looking for other sizes? The 40×30 cm wedding frame is the same size in landscape. The 40×50 cm wedding frame is the next size up. If you work in inches, the 12×16 inch wedding frame is a close alternative.

Specifications

Every photo frame 30×40 cm is built to the following specification:

Feature	Detail
Artwork size	30 x 40 cm (approx. 11.8 x 15.7 inches)
Shape	3:4 ratio
Material	MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard)
Moulding width	30 mm
Frame depth	15 mm
Rebate	8 mm
Glazing	HD plexiglass
Colours	Black, White, Oak, Rustic
Finish	Wood grain (black, oak, rustic); plain (white)
Orientation	Portrait or landscape
Hanging	Fitted hanging hooks

The 30 mm moulding gives this mid-sized frame a confident, modern border that suits photos and stationery alike. The 15 mm depth keeps it slim against the wall. The 8 mm rebate holds the plexiglass, your print or keepsake, an optional mount and the backing board. MDF provides a smooth, stable structure that won’t warp, so your frame stays neat for years.

Gentle Protection With Plexiglass

The HD plexiglass on each photo frame 30×40 cm does more than show your photo clearly. It also protects delicate keepsakes, such as thin stationery and pressed petals, from dust, moisture and curious fingers. It’s lighter than glass, making the frame easy to hang and rearrange, and it’s shatter-resistant, so there’s no risk of sharp shards if it falls. It also survives delivery better, so your frame arrives in perfect condition.

Remember to remove the protective film from both sides before framing.

Choosing a Finish

When you choose a finish for your photo frame 30×40 cm, consider what you’re framing:

Black: a crisp, refined choice with a subtle wood grain. It’s ideal for black-and-white portraits and for modern, minimalist stationery designs.

White: smooth, plain and soft. It pairs beautifully with white or ivory mounts and pressed flowers, creating a light, airy look.

Oak: warm and natural, with a gentle grain. It complements botanical stationery, garden weddings and greenery-filled photos.

Rustic: weathered and full of charm. It’s lovely for kraft-paper invitations, wildflower bouquets and barn or countryside weddings.

Where to Display It

• On a bedroom wall, where your favourite portrait greets you every morning.
• Up the staircase, as part of a staggered run of frames following the line of the stairs.
• In the hallway, with your framed invitation as a charming welcome for visitors.
• Beside a bookcase or in an alcove, where an upright frame fills a narrow space perfectly.
• On a picture shelf, leaning alongside smaller frames for a relaxed, layered display.

A Thoughtful, Personal Gift

A framed invitation or pressed bouquet in a photo frame 30×40 cm makes a heartfelt present for the newlyweds, especially when it’s given on their first anniversary, which is traditionally celebrated with paper. It’s also a meaningful thank-you for parents, who often treasure the stationery as much as the photos. To create a matching collection in different sizes, explore our full range of wedding photo frames.

Framing Your Keepsake

Lay the frame face down on a soft cloth and release the fixings. Lift out the backing board and the plexiglass, then peel away the protective film from both sides. If you’re using a mount, place it face down on the plexiglass. Then position your photo or stationery behind the opening, securing it along the top edge with a small piece of acid-free tape. For pressed flowers mounted on card, lay the card face down directly behind the plexiglass. Refit the backing board, close the fixings and check the front for dust before hanging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size photo fits a photo frame 30×40 cm?

A 30×40 cm print fits edge to edge. Smaller items, such as an A4 order of service or an A5 invitation, look best with a mount.

How big is 30×40 cm in inches?

30 x 40 cm is about 11.8 x 15.7 inches.

Will an A3 print fit?

No. A3 measures 29.7 x 42 cm, so it’s 2 cm too tall. Our A-series frames are made for A3 prints.

Can I frame pressed flowers in it?

Yes, as long as the flowers are fully pressed, completely flat and dry. Mount them on thin card for the best results.

Is 30×40 cm the same as 12×16 inches?

They’re close, but 12 x 16 inches is slightly larger, at about 30.5 x 40.6 cm. Order your print at 30 x 40 cm for a perfect fit.

How do I clean the plexiglass?

Use a soft microfibre cloth with a little mild soapy water. Avoid paper towels and ammonia-based sprays, which can scratch or cloud acrylic.
