Creative Ways to Preserve Your Wedding Memories

Your wedding day is something you’ll want to remember for the rest of your life. The little details, from the cake to the dress, are important. Physical reminders of your wedding day will put a smile on your face and bring back memories for years to come. Here are a few creative ways you can save a piece of your wedding celebration:

Save Part of Your Wedding Dress

Wedding dresses take up a lot of space. A great alternative to keeping the whole gown is using small pieces to create keepsakes. Preserve the memory of your wedding day by turning the lace or beading from your dress into jewelry pieces, ornaments, or you can always preserve it and if you have a daughter one day she can either wear it or incorporate a part of it (maybe the lace) into her own custom gown.

Memento Box

At your reception, provide a keepsake box for guests to add knick-knacks, photos, and letters. You could even ask guests to predict where you and your spouse will be five, 10, or 15 years from now. Open the box every few years to celebrate your anniversary or a special moment.

Freeze the Cake

Many couples freeze a slice of wedding cake to and eat it together on their first anniversary. This is a wonderful tradition, and a great way to re-live your wonderful wedding memories. Some cakes freeze better than others, so ensure your cake is well wrapped with plastic, and remove any ornaments or decorations.

Hire a Professional Wedding Photographer

Photographs are perhaps the most classic, long-lasting way to preserve and collect your wedding memories. As a professional wedding photographer based in Toronto who believes in everlasting love, it’s my goal to try to document all the emotions and beautiful moments of your wedding day. Photographs are a versatile way to keep your memories alive. Have them printed and arranged in a photo album, send them to guests after the wedding, or use them to decorate your home.

Framing

Pictures aren’t the only thing you can frame to preserve your wedding memories. Consider framing your wedding vows, the lyrics of your first dance song, your invitations, or the menu for your wedding dinner. Use museum-quality glass to keep your items from fading or deteriorating over time.

Photographs are the perfect way to keep your wedding memories alive, and there are myriad other ways to do the same thing. For the most crystal-clear memories, consider hiring a professional wedding photographer. Let me tell your story in a beautiful, romantic way. Contact me today at Corina V.
