If you want to celebrate your anniversary in a deeply meaningful way with romantic gestures, the recreation of your wedding day would be an ideal choice indeed! This is because you, your partner and also your family members can cherish the love and memories that you have shared on that day. Sounds interesting? Read on for more below.
Choosing the right setting
The first step is to choose the celebration spot. It is not always possible to return to your actual wedding venue. Then you need to find a location that resembles the original place where you completed your wedding rituals. It can be a garden or a beach and also a cosy resort with a similar ambience. To have a much more intimate option you can transform your backyard or your home into a miniature version of your wedding venue.
Then this would be an ideal place to capture the recreated wedding setting. You can recruit a photographer or you can ask your friends, and families to take snapshots. In today’s period, everyone has a smartphone with a high-quality camera facility and with that, you can click pictures or videos to create new memories that can be part of your life going forward. Above all, you and your partner can click pictures of each other with your guests on your mobile phones, and make reels and videos as well.
Bride and groom trousseau
It is necessary to wear your wedding dress if you still have it. However, you can also wear something gorgeous and romantic with a piece of jewellery that you received back on your wedding day. Brides can opt for their traditional colours with enigmatic style elements like beading, tulle or lace, while grooms can wear their conventional wedding attire with original colour palettes.
Menu recreation
Wedding menus are an integral part of your wedding day. The delicious food that was served at your wedding venue can be recreated as a memory that you have thoughtfully carved out on that day. It will be a perfectly sentimental way to spend your anniversary where you look back to your wedding day with nostalgia.
Wedding playlist
Music is one of the factors that sets the mood and brings back emotions. A properly curated music playlist that includes all the wedding songs to which you have danced with your partner, friends and families earlier, will be the way to go ahead. As per your budget, you can also recruit a DJ, band, or any local musician to have a live entertainment facility that can play your requested special songs. You can also keep a karaoke theme where you, your friends, and family can sing all together throughout the evening.
Anniversary Cake
Cutting cakes are no longer restricted to Christian wedding traditions; now various cultures are adapting this beautiful gesture with their loved ones at weddings. If you have also performed the ceremony in your wedding, you can definitely recreate this on your anniversary. Wedding cakes are usually tall and distinct with their own flavours, ideas and designs. However, a miniature version of the cake (customized with pictures of your wedding) can be a great option indeed.
Anniversary Gifts
Exchanging thoughtful anniversary gifts is a great idea, because a wedding is the perfect chance to receive the most heartwarming gifts from friends and family. Your gifts need to be romantic and touching above all else. Choose options like handmade crafts, chocolates, jewellery, flowers, and even tickets to a second honeymoon, if possible. Apart from exchanging meaningful gifts, you can also exchange love letters. This is because instead of purchasing something conventional, you can write heartwarming letters and emotional quotes for each other for a special touch. You can also write your own wedding vows and read them out to each together, while reminiscing together about your wedding in the past.
Concluding Notes
Recreating your wedding day is not about perfection; rather it is a connection that looks back at all the special moments you shared back then and a promise to keep the love and magic alive as you move ahead into the future. Follow these tips to recreate your wedding day spectacularly on your anniversary.
