Wedding Keepsakes to Treasure your Special Day

If you want to make sure that your wedding day is everything you hoped it would be and more, then it helps to plan how you are going to keep hold of those memories. This guide will tell you what steps you can take to treasure your day for years to come.

Wedding Vows

You have probably put quite a lot of TLC into writing your vows, so it makes perfect sense for you to keep a copy of them. If you want to help yourself here, then it may be that you keep a booklet with your vows in it or that you even get them tattooed. Either way, if you look back then this will remind you of how much in love with your partner you are, and it will also remind you of the reason why you wanted to do all of this in the first place. Of course, if you can save your wedding vows, then in the future, if you do ever want to renew your vows, you will find it easier than ever to do so. If you want to really benefit yourself, then it is a good idea for you to try to think about the reason why you got engaged, so you can make sure that you are always taking steps to try to support your marriage down the line. Incorporating things like this into your vows will also remind you of how far you and your partner have come, and how special your wedding vows are to both of you.

Love Letters

The tradition of trading love letters with your spouse is becoming more and more popular as time goes on. If you have written some love letters to your spouse and you intend to treasure them, then incorporating them into your big day is a good idea. You can then get them framed so you have a keepsake or a way to look back on the journey you have been on. If you can consider things like this, then you will find it easier than ever to have something you can look back on with fondness.

Rituals

If you know that you are planning a special ceremony ritual, like having a wine box ceremony, then why not keep hold of this as a bit of a keepsake? You can keep a wine bottle as a way to try to remember your big day as well. Many companies will offer to smash a bottle of champagne for you, before setting it in resin. You can then have this framed as a reminder of your big day and the wine that you drank. Of course, if you have any other rituals that you intend to do on the big day, then finding ways to commemorate this is a very good thing to do, and it is also a good way for you to feel more confident moving forward, knowing your day will be remembered.

Your Wedding Dress

Even though there is a good chance that you won’t wear your wedding dress ever again, you might not want to throw it away. If you plan on keeping it, then you may even want to think about getting it preserved. This is a great way for you to ensure that it stays in mint condition, and you may also find that it’s a good way for you to keep it looking exactly how it looked when you wore it. Many people get personalized coat hangers that they hang their dress on, so they can look back and appreciate their big day and everything that it meant to them. If you can consider things like this, then you will find it easier than ever to look back on your day and appreciate everything it meant for you.

Your Cake Topper

If you know that you are planning to have a cake for your wedding day, then you’ll probably have a cake topper as well. If you can keep this, then it’s a great way for you to ensure that you’re treasuring memories for years to come. If you haven’t thought about keeping your cake topper before, then this is a fantastic way for you to look back and even bring it out again if you renew your vows and bake a new cake for that occasion. If you want to freeze the top tier of your cake, then you can eat it on your wedding anniversary. Although this will only last for a year or so, it’s still a good way for you to keep your wedding day as special as possible.

Flowers

Preserving your flowers is also a good way for you to make sure that your wedding day is memorable. When you preserve your bouquet, you may find that this is a good way for you to pass your bouquet down to your children, and you can also make a lifelong keepsake from your special day. The best thing about preserving your bouquet is that you can preserve the scent as well as the color and the emotions. Saving your florals also gives you some benefits in the fact that you can make some home decor and then put it around your home. Post-wedding blues are very normal, but if you can find ways to try and preserve your bouquet, and if you can make sure that you are always looking for ways to look back and cherish the times you had, you will find it easier to move past them.

Wedding Invites

The last thing you can try to make a keepsake out of is your wedding invites. Don’t send out every single invite you have to your friends and family, because if you can keep a copy for yourself, then you will find it easier to add them to a scrapbook or to keep them in a keepsake box. If you do this, then you will find that it is much easier for you to create some nice, tangible reference points of what your day looked like to the people who attended.
