Ros,
Welcome to the wonderful world of scrapbooking. Do not feel overwhelmed it's supposed to be "fun." The suggestions to lay out your page first before doing any gluing is kind of essential. First I'd like to say that I think a wedding album is a great place to start because if your wedding was traditional "American" you already have your various themes... the dress, the cake, the bridesmaids, the garter etc... so those pictures are easy to group and know each grouping goes together.
You can get supplies as local scrapbook stores (we refer to them here as LSS), Walmart, Michaels, Joanns Fabric, Target etc... just call around if you're unsure.

Remember, it takes a long time to plan a wedding, and a lifetime to create a wonderful marriage and strong family. There is no reason to feel pressured or rushed to get your scrapbook done. Mark on your calendar 1 day each week where you will commit to doing a single page or 2-page spread (2pages that will rest side by side in your book)... start at the beginning... If you have engagement pictures maybe start there. If you don't, perhaps you have rehearsal dinner pictures, etc. If you move through your book chronologically you will end up with a book that flows. If however you say "I want to do the pages with the cake today" it is possible that when you are done you'll have blank pages in between covered pages.
And lastly, remember that what makes the book special are the memories that lie within, not how the book "looks."
Best wishes for your new scrapbook and your wonderful new life with your husband.
