So, if you’re ready to make this day even more dreamier than your wedding, let’s start planning! 

This blog is meant to guide you through every step required to plan an epic celebration, from picking the venue to deciding what to wear!

No matter whether you are planning your vow renewal after 5 or 50 years of marriage, this day deserves a celebration as grand as your love story! 

So, without any further ado, let’s plan for your happily ever after- PART TWO! 

Why Do Couples Renew Their Vows?

Life gets busy, right? Daily hustles, kids, financial stress, family responsibilities– there’s so much a couple goes through! But, despite all the struggles and problems, you two stood together - rock solid! That is why the day when “your two became one” deserves all the spotlight!  

And, who wouldn’t love the idea of living again the most mesmerizing days of their lives? Also, some couples mightn’t have celebrated their wedding the way they wanted to, either due to budget constraints, time, unavailability of loved ones, or any other factor! 

So, no matter what your reason, a marriage is a day worth celebrating time and time again!  

Does a Vow Renewal Have to Be on Your Anniversary?

Not at all! It’s completely your choice! However, many couples prefer to renew vows to celebrate their wedding milestones, like silver or golden jubilees! But there’s no hard and fast rule to do that! Do it your way, whenever it feels right–whether it's 10 years or decades together! Because it’s your love story, you have lived it, so only you get to decide the perfect timing! 

What to Wear to the Celebrations? 

And now, here comes the highlight of the blog! Well, again, we would say the same thing! It’s your day, so wear whatever makes you feel beautiful– whether it’s a flowy, breezy mini floral dress or a long, fancy evening gown (you can even ditch the white; no rules here)!

On the contrary, if you want to replicate your wedding day, plan on re-wearing your gorgeous wedding attire. Well, you will not be alone who is thinking of doing it. We got you some inspirations:

How to Plan an Epic Wedding Vow Renewal

If you are thinking about how to renew my wedding vows, here’s our take on planning a heartful celebration worth remembering! 

Writing New Vows

Think of it as the heart of your vow renewal; extremely special and personal. Try to reflect on your journey of all these years together, including hilarious moments,  challenges, fulfilled goals, and every other thing! Basically, your promises should be overloaded with heartfelt gratitude and genuine emotions. 

Setting the Scene: Your Ceremony Details

1. Picking the Venue: Indoors, Outdoors, or Destination?

Your venue can be anywhere your imagination takes you! Be it at your home, a serene beach, or a European castle, the possibilities are endless. However, if you ask us, the best spot would be the one where you originally got married! 

2. The Decor- Simple or a Bit Fancy?

Decide on the decor with elements that suit your vibe. If you want to keep it minimal, think of candles, floral arrangements, photo props, wooden tables, and chairs. On the contrary, if going all fancy is your call, go for a spectacular floral arch, lighting, desert table, lush aisle markers, and whatever your heart sings!

3.Keeping it Intimate or Grand?

Are you planning a small or lavish ceremony? Depending on the scale of your ceremony, decide on the guest list. If it’s small, you’ll get the chance to celebrate with your close family members. On the flip side, if you have a long guest list, ultimately, your vow renewal will turn into an epic party to remember!   

What About Rings- Exchanging New Ones or Renewing Original Ones? 

Thinking about rings? You can consider exchanging your existing ones with a fresh touch—like an engraving of a special date or message. Or perhaps, use this as an excuse to get a new ring from your lovely husband. (honestly, who wouldn’t love that?)

Must-Have Shots

Some really good snapshots are a must! Hire a photographer and try to capture every moment, from candid smiles to heartfelt tears during your vows! Try to recreate your wedding pictures and get them framed alongside your original ones. Imagine these portraits hanging on your gallery wall, along with some fairy lights! How lovely that would be, right?

Plan a Mini-Moon Getaway

Okay, now you deserve a mini vacation (this time, your kids can accompany you, too!) Plan a getaway anywhere that suits your schedule and budget, and get ready to feel those newlywed vibes again!

Preserving Your Treasure for a Lifetime!

Okay, after you are done having a blast at your vow renewal ceremony, now is the time to think of preserving your gown’s beauty! Because you won’t let it fade, right?

So, send over your wedding attire to us at Trusted Wedding Gown Preservation, and we will handle it with care and expertise. We will preserve it in a beautiful chest after a thorough inspection and a gentle cleaning session. 

Doing so will ensure your gown stays flawlessly spotless, just like the day you wore it on your wedding day. And decades from now, you never know if your daughter will decide to walk down the aisle wearing your glory! 

Wrapping it Up: Make It a Day Worth Remembering! 

Alright, while we wrap up this blog, let us remind you that there’s no right or wrong way to plan it. Whether you decide to make a quiet exchange of promises at your home’s garden or take it on a grand note at a luxurious venue, this day only belongs to you two! Your story, your rules! 

Think of this blog as your planning buddy packed with some tips and tricks on executing the day with perfection! But at the end of the day, you have to make the final call! 

Just make sure you stay authentic, feel blessed, and soak in the joy of every moment– because you both deserve it!
