Something Borrowed

Your details matter. After all, your wedding day is the biggest event you'll ever plan and just like your marriage, you want it to stand the test of time. It's here in my journal where I share a piece of my heart from love stories, inspiration, love letters, and all things pretty.

Grab yourself a glass of sweet tea (or whatever you fancy) and borrow my notes shared in my blog for a
celebration to remember!

How to Write your Wedding Vows

Exchanging vows will be the MOST sentimental part of your wedding day. Similar to flipping through your wedding album or watching your wedding video, reading the heartfelt vows penned in an heirloom vow book is bound to leave you crying tears of pure joy on your wedding day and beyond. However, before your vows are ready to be proclaimed to the love of your life, you need to put in the prep-work. So here are some tips on how to write your wedding vows!

BRAINSTORM

Think of this first step as a brainstorming session and word dump. Begin by gathering your thoughts and simply write down whatever comes to your mind without worrying about grammar or typos.

FIRST DRAFT

Compose your first draft using your thoughts from your brainstorming session. REMEMBER TO BE AUTHENTIC! In order for your vows to make an impact, you need to ultimately sound like yourself.

REVISE

Revise, proofread, and edit again! No need to do this in one sitting. That way, you can revisit multiple times and review over the course of a few weeks. Trust me. As a former editor, fresh eyes and a clear head can undoubtedly make all the difference when it comes to writing.

WRITE IT IN A KEEPSAKE

Once you have the version that makes your heart most happy, write that rendition in an heirloom vow book. This way, you can read from it during your first look or ceremony. Furthermore, not only will it look great in photos, but will also remind you of those promises made long after the reception ends.
