5 Ideas for Your Vow Renewal
A Vow Renewal is such a great idea for so many reasons!
You are older, wiser, and have a better understanding of who you are. You can do whatever you want for this special and intimate moment just for you and your partner!
Do you have any wishes that maybe didn’t quite pan out on your wedding day? Didn’t get to do the mountain photoshoot or ride off into the sunset on your motorcycle?
Here’s your chance for a redo! Not to mention, you are honoring yourself, your partner, and the way you both have grown together endured hardships, and prevailed!
All in all, 10 points for Gryffindor, I mean the vow renewal! Basically, we love to see it!
5 Ideas for Your Vow Renewal From a
Utah Wedding Photographer
IDEA ONE | REINVENT THE DRESS
Have you been holding onto your wedding dress?
Do what this cute bride did for her vow renewal and dock the sleeves. It reinvents the look, but still keeps the memory alive of the original day!
We did a first look with her husband 10 years later and he loved the way the new alterations turned out! It was such a sweet moment and her two cute little boys were included too, so they could see their beautiful mama in her gown.
However, if you’re like me and immediately sold your dress OR “trashed the dress” / “rocked the frock” after your original wedding day, here’s your chance to go for a different look!
Why not rent the giant gown with flowing fabric that catches the light? Do your thing! If you are located in Utah, Salt Gowns in Riverton, UT is great for some epic dress rentals!
Do you want a nice formal dress in a different shade other than white? My inner emo kid would probably go for black! Baltic Born Clothing has some nice options for that very aesthetic.
If natural linen meadow dresses or something with sparkles is more your vibe for your vow renewal, check out Böhme for some excellent choices!
Whatever you do, make it you! Get what you want, because YOU DESERVE IT ESPECIALLY DURING YOUR VOW RENEWAL.
IDEA TWO | POP THE BUBBLY
Bring a bottle of champagne (but more like 2)! One bottle for the photos to spray away, and then one to drink.
TIPS FOR A GREAT CHAMPAGNE SPRAY
Shake First
Flick Off Cork
Press Your Thumb Over Opening
SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE
Don’t forget the second bottle so you can toast with your partner. I would recommend doing this at sunset because the champagne will catch the light and look glorious!
IDEA THREE | BRING THE FAM
If your family has grown by having some kids or acquiring some fur babies since the original wedding date - bring them along!
These cute boys were dressed in bow ties and suspenders and we did a quick mini-family shoot at sunset!
IDEA 4 | IT’S ALL IN THE SIGNS
This is your SIGN to add your special flare to your vow renewal!
WHY THIS UTAH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
RECOMMENDS HAVING A PROP FOR YOUR
VOW RENEWAL
This couple grabbed their hiking gear, their boys, and these cute “Just Renewed” signs while watching the final glow of the sunset! They also packed their adorable Vow “His and Hers” books that they used for their vow renewal ceremony.
IDEA 5 | RIDE OFF INTO THE SUNSET
(HOWEVER THAT MAY BE)
Now that you’re older you may find that you have acquired some more toys since you got married. Been wanting to ride off into the sunset on your motorcycle? Here’s your chance!
Think about whatever your hobbies are and do a grand exit with them!
GETAWAY OPTIONS FOR YOUR VOW RENEWAL
Horses
Hot Air Balloon
Renting a Vintage Car
Small Plane
All Terrain Vehicle
Whatever you decide to do, do the vow renewal and make it your own! That is the great thing about growing older and celebrating your relationship with your partner. Now you are even more authentically you, and the same is said about your love!
Celebrate these milestones!
