I'm FINALLY getting around to ordering our wedding photo book that I finally got around to finishing. We're using Blurb. Has anybody ever ordered a photo book through them? I want something a little nicer than standard paper but not quite as nice (read: pricey) as the ProLine options. So I'm trying to decide between Premium Matte and Premium Lustre.
Can anybody vouch for either of these for an image-heavy book?

@ladyfingers: Did you ever order your book? What paper did you go with? I want to make a book on Blurb soon!

MY SIL is a photographer and highly recommends lustre.

I made our wedding book through MyPublisher using matte pages, I'm sure the paper is similar and we love it. It's very nice, the reason we went with matte was because they aren't able to be scratched. Shiny pages can get scratched. Our next book will be matte too, although glossy/luster pages are beautiful too! Matte feels like cardstock, while luster feels like pictures you get developed.

@autumnlove: I'm slowly working on that but it takes sooo long to edit all the pictures. Do you do digital books or scrap booking? I love scrapbooking but the time, mess and cost sadly is too much..

I used Snapfish to make my wedding album and the pages are a bit shiny, so fingerprints are easily seen. Choose matte if you are concerned about fingerprints.

@autumnlove: we went with lustre! The book is nice but... I wish some if the photos came out a little better quality for a $100 ( it was like an 80-page book though) product. But it got the best reviews so whatever. It took some time to put together but was fun and very customizable!
