If you are planning a Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony to celebrate a landmark anniversary, or to re-dedicate yourselves to each other, as a married couple this event can be very special and meaningful, to you and to your whole family.
If you can, include the members of your family in the occasion – perhaps one of your children or grand-children could give a Reading or lead a Prayer during the ceremony.
Your ceremony can be as individual and romantic as you like, perhaps including the prayers and music from your original Wedding ceremony, or you could have new wedding rings blessed during the service.
Pictured left is a white and gold Tulle Empire Line Gown which would be suitable for a Wedding Gown Renewal Ceremony.
When you are deciding what to wear, there are several things to consider before purchasing your special dress – how formal your service will be, will it be formal or casual, and where will it take place.
For a Wedding Vow Renewal ceremony, many women choose a suit or dress which is informal, perhaps in a colour other than white – Ivory, Champagne or a pastel colours are wonderful choices.
And here on the right, is a lovely suit, suitable for an elegant Vow Renewal – this Knee Length Outfit is beautiful and sets just the right tone for such a special occasion.
For the Renewal of Vows, a veil is normally not worn, however, the woman may wish to wear a pretty head-peice or hat which matches her gown.
The ceremony can take place in a Church, Chapel, in your garden at home, at a Banquet Hall or anywhere you like!
You may arrange for a Priest of Pastor to perform the ceremony, however, this isn’t necessary as, unlike a Wedding, there is no paperwork to complete, so you can even ask a friend or family member to officiate!
For a ceremony in your Church or Temple, a more formal gown or dress would be suitable, such as this Empire Line Tulle Gown shown at left.
Ultimately, the choice of length and style of your gown should reflect the type of ceremony you will be having – for an informal, outdoor or afternoon ceremony, a Tea Length dress or simple gown would be suitable.
Do make sure that your gown, and the ceremony, reflect your taste and personality – you should be comfortable in your dress and don’t forget ….. have fun ….. and many more years of Wedded Bliss!
