It is seen as one of the most important days in a person’s life- when they get married.
In recent times, there has been a trend amongst brides and grooms to want to immortalize their special day so that they can look back in years to come to see items and images of the day they began their life together.
However, it can be tricky to know exactly how best to immortalize your wedding day, and here, you will be given 5 top tips to ensure that your memory lasts forever in the minds of those who attended and both of you. Enjoy!
- Professional Photography and Videography
It can be very tempting to want friends and family to take photos on your wedding day that will go into your wedding album. However, one of the best wedding photography tips that will help to immortalize your wedding is to hire a professional photographer and videographer who will capture high-quality images and videos of your wedding day. Many of these services can also offer you professional editing, so you can receive an album or a DVD that will allow you to look back on your wedding day with professional finishing touches. Just make sure you choose a photographer or videographer who has experience and that you gel with!
- Create Your Own Album
There are hundreds of different wedding album designs online, which will allow you to order a wedding album that has embroidery and designs on the front, which you can choose to match your wedding day theme. Then, you can take those aforementioned photos that were taken by friends and family (as well as professionals) and put them into the album. Try to ensure that the album itself is of high quality and will stand the test of time.
- Guestbook
It is not uncommon for wedding days to have guest books, but why not go one step further and opt for a customized guest book, which has spaces for your guests to leave well wishes, messages, and perhaps even Polaroid photos that were taken on the day? This will help you to step back in time to that all-important day in many years to come and will immortalize the emotions of the day.
- Frame Your Wedding Vows
On most wedding days, couples opt for the standard vows that will be read out. However, if you have written your own vows, why not immortalize them and frame them so they can be hung in your first home together? This is a unique idea, and with online options, there are thousands of designs to choose from that will complement your wedding day theme and even your home’s interior design.
- Memory Box
If you have a lot of physical mementos from your wedding day, it may be worth investing in a memory box that can go alongside the photo album. This is where you can put a copy of your vows, dried flowers from the bridal bouquet, pieces of jewelry, and even a copy of the guest favors that were handed out or place cards that were put on the tables for the reception. These will live on as physical reminders of the day and will last a lifetime.
