Tips for Writing Your Wedding Vows

Sponsored with love by Wedding Forward

Whether you're writing your own wedding vows or you're finding wedding vows you love on the world wide web, there's really no one vow fits all when it comes to weddings. Every couple is different. We all have different beliefs, different views on life, different words that move us, likes and dislikes and we all have one-of-a-kind marriages.

And your wedding vows should reflect that.

Back in 2013 when we were in the final stages of our wedding prep, it came time to write our wedding vows and there was no way I was going to write my own vows and read them out loud. No way you'd ever find me doing that...at least back then. We were young and had only been to one other wedding so really, had no idea where we were even supposed to start when it came to writing our wedding vows and so, we started Googling.

We found vows we loved, words we found romantic and together, we took bits and pieces of vows we had read, added in our own personal beliefs about love, marriage and faith and created the most beautiful wedding vows for us.

Today on The Bridal Boutique // Personalized Wooden Wedding Ceremony Wine Box by Blue Fire Engraving

One of the most meaningful keepsakes from my own wedding day (besides the marriage license, of course) was our wine box ceremony. We wrote love notes to each other, placed our favorite bottle of wine in a beautiful box, and closed it up during our wedding ceremony only to open it on our first anniversary. And I've searched high and low and found the most beautiful wine boxes for you to use for this very reason!

Beautiful wood, custom engraving, and all of the wine "tools" you need, these wooden engraved wedding wine boxes from Blue Fire Engraving are just stunning!

Head on over to their shop to choose the box that will be perfect for your wedding ceremony and will make the most beautiful accent piece in your new home together!

Today on The Bridal Boutique // His and Her Rustic Wedding Vow Books by Scrappy Seahorse

Can I just say that I LOVE this bridal boutique feature?? Most brides and grooms pull out a piece of paper, a small note card, or (more often than not) a cell phone with their wedding vows typed on them. But to me, I prefer something a bit more polished. And that is why these His and Hers wedding vow books from Scrappy Seahorse are just perfect for your wedding ceremony!

They're compact and will look great up there as you say "I Do" so if I have a vote, I would say to choose these. And if you want an added bonus, they make a great keepsake :) Head on over to their shop to see this design!
