“And so, the adventure begins.” -Unknown
In today’s modern world we are no strangers to the concept of second, and even third, weddings.
Whether you are renewing your vows together, or life has taken you in a different direction, there’s no mountain that love can’t conquer!
Keep reading below for our tips on how to spice up your second trip down the aisle!
Attire
Most couples tend to lean more traditional during the wedding planning process, but we’re here to say, have some fun with it!
If you had a very traditional white dress during the first wedding, why not shake it up a little? Add a little theme to the attire that both the wedding party and guests must adhere to!
Weddings are meant to be a fun celebration of love, don’t take it too seriously!
Vows
Just like with the attire, many opt for a traditional set of vows, but those can be very rigid and less personalized than your love for one another.
Keep it short and sweet! Time on this Earth is short, tell that person exactly how you feel and why your love for them is everlasting!
Reception
You’ve done this before, but this time, make sure you enjoy it!
Many newlywed couples admit to being so focused on the planning and the ceremony, that by the time the reception rolls around they are just wiped out!
Have some fun food, opt for a non traditional wedding venue, maybe even ax the reception all together!
Life is too short to not enjoy every moment of it!
Registry
Do you really need another Kitchenaide mixer? Or an antique set of dishes that you’re never going to use?
When it comes to registering for wedding gifts why not look for something a little more adventurous? Many companies exist today where people can forgo the traditional wedding gift and simply donate to an exotic adventure for 2!
Make memories and shared experiences together. The material goods can wait.
In 2022 second and third weddings are becoming the norm.
For some it’s an excuse to renew their vows and reaffirm their love for one another. For others, it’s a second chance at love and happiness.
Whatever the reason is, we at Ballard & Ballard are here for all your bridal needs. All we ask is that you enjoy yourself during this very special time!
