Dos and Don’ts for a Beautiful Vow Renewal in Las Vegas
Las Vegas may be known for its casinos and nightlife, but it’s also one of the most exciting places to get married. Whether or not you initially got hitched in Vegas, you may be considering taking a trip to Sin City to renew your wedding vows. It’s a great idea! As you begin your vow renewal journey, let’s look at some dos and don’ts for a beautiful vow renewal in Las Vegas.
The Dos for a Vow Renewal in Las Vegas
The lively city of Las Vegas naturally comes to mind for all things wedding related. It’s an exciting, romantic, glamorous, and downright sexy place to tie the knot—or get a tune-up to make sure the knot is still tight. Let’s look at some things you should do for your vow renewals in Vegas.
Hire a Photographer
Vow renewal ceremonies are often quick and informal; however, they are extremely special. You and your partner are telling the world that nothing can separate you and that you still take your vows seriously. That type of ceremony is worth documenting. You’ll never regret having photos of this beautiful time in your life.
There are plenty of photographers to choose from in the wedding capital of the world. If you can, plan ahead and hire a photographer for the big day rather than wait until the last minute. Look at their portfolio online first so that you know your styles and ideas match.
Do It Vegas Style
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas—except for the fantastic memories you’ll take with you. Las Vegas is all about doing things differently and, sometimes, quite elaborately. Renewing vows on a roller coaster might be an odd idea, but it’s perfectly normal in Vegas.
Do it Las Vegas style with a unique vow renewal that will remind the two of you why you fell in love (remember that sense of adventure?). Here are some fun ideas that only the Neon City can offer when it’s time to recommit:
Say “I do” again at the top of a roller coaster.
Hold hands while skydiving.
Nothing says “always and forever” like renewed vows on the Treasure Island pirate ship.
For the romantics: go on a helicopter ceremony at sunset.
You’ll never go wrong with the classic Vegas-style wedding chapel.
In short, if you’re looking for a unique renewal ceremony, Las Vegas has you covered.
Take a Walk Down Memory Lane
Your vow renewal ceremony is just as important as your wedding day. One of the best ideas for a beautiful vow renewal in Las Vegas is to incorporate activities or items from your wedding day or honeymoon. If you were originally married in Vegas or honeymooned there, having your vow renewal in the same place is the perfect way to stroll down memory lane. Here’s a list of other ideas to help you reminisce and relight that flame during your renewal:
Repeat the same vows.
Wear the same wedding attire.
Dance to your wedding song after the renewal.
Invite the original bridal party.
Recreate some photos from the wedding day.
Replicate a smaller version of the wedding cake.
You get only so many chances to be over-the-top romantic—let your vow renewal be one of those times.
Make Use of the Natural Beauty
There’s so much focus on all that glitters in Vegas that forgetting the area’s natural beauty can be all too easy. Deserts, mountains, or canyons make magical backdrops for any romantic ceremony. So many nature elopement packages are offered in Vegas, allowing you to renew your love and create incredible photos at the same time.
Remember, even if a package is technically for an elopement or a wedding, you can still cater it to your needs as a vow renewal. It’s up to you how elaborate you want to be.
The Don’ts for a Vow Renewal in Vegas
Where there are dos, there must be don’ts. The possibilities are endless for a vow renewal in Las Vegas, which gives you plenty of great opportunities and ideas. Still, there are some things you’ll want to avoid while planning and executing your vow renewal ceremony.
Don’t Buy Expensive Wedding Attire
Unless it’s a priority for you, there’s no need to go out and spend a lot of money on another dress or tux. Instead, wear some dressy clothes that reflect who you and your partner have become together. The two of you have made a life as one, and now you’re telling the world you want to keep going. Do it in style without going overboard. Wearing your original wedding outfits could also be fun if they still fit.
Don’t Buy New Rings
Your original rings are priceless and have gotten you this far. There’s no need to replace them for the sake of renewing your vows. Give them a good shine and take them off right before the ceremony so that you can re-exchange them.
Don’t Stress
It’s tough not to stress when you’re planning a big event. Still, if you were bridezilla the first time around, no one will want a repeat of that. A vow renewal is a choice, and it should be fun. If you and your partner are miserable while planning your renewal ceremony, maybe it’s not the right time. After all, you want to smile while committing to your life together once again. Take a deep breath and remember that this isn’t the wedding. You did that, and you’ve made it—good job. Now enjoy a relaxed vow renewal with the best thing that ever happened to you.
