Choosing a Dress for Vow Renewal |
Are you approaching your china or silver anniversary ? Do you feel like celebrating your love once again for no particular reason? Renewing your vows is an opportunity to affirm the bond between you and your spouse, in front of your loved ones, a second time. Sometimes it’s the opportunity to have the wedding of your dreams, the one you couldn’t have the first time for various reasons. The opportunity to be the groom and the bride once again and what could be more exciting than the moment of choosing your second wedding dress! This choice can often seem difficult so today we guide you in choosing the perfect dress for the vow renewal. It is your time to shine, on the second (or first) most beautiful day of your life, and relive the unforgettable feelings of a wedding ceremony.
Open up your closet and rediscover your wedding dress. How quickly were you reminded of the moment you said “I do”? The first wedding dress is an emblematique part of the wedding. If you kept it in storage and it still fits you perfectly, it is the opportunity to bring it back to life! In order to make the dress fit your current taste, you can even make changes to it. This original dress will guarantee you a ceremony bathed in the first moments you lived together, united by the bonds of marriage!
For a small and relaxed vow renewal, it’s better to keep it simple. Less is more ! The most suitable ceremony is the symbolic ceremony. During such a ceremony, the criteria for choosing the dress are much more flexible than those of the religious ceremony. It is also an opportunity to remove the few constraints imposed by the wedding dress. You can choose a simple but elegant dress: long or a little shorter, flared or close to the body. It’s up to you to choose the dress you feel most comfortable in!
Didn’t get the princess dress you always dreamed of on your wedding day? The vow renewal is the perfect time to make your dreams come true. Treat yourself to the ceremony you always wanted. Whether it’s a religious ceremony in a beautiful Italian church, or a symbolic country ceremony for example, get yourself the ultimate gift of a real princess dress for a fairytale-like vow renewal!
It is sometimes perceived as bad luck to wear a colored dress for a wedding ceremony. However, since a vow renewal is not a wedding per se, there is no color code for the dress. You can opt for the traditional white… or a vermilion red, salmon or gold dress. Express your personality by choosing the color of your choice!
The vow renewal, unlike the wedding, leaves a great freedom for the choice of the dress. For a religious ceremony in a church, have a priest bless your wedding rings a second time in a sober and traditional dress. For a small ceremony with your family and friends in a relaxed atmosphere, don’t give yourself any constraints and wear the dress you feel most comfortable in, whatever its characteristics (color, length, cut…)! It is even possible and common to wear a pantsuit if you wish, but your ceremony will still be memorable! Accessorize your dress with jewels, but keep it simple, as vow renewals rarely lend themselves to the traditional train or veil.
