Love Letter Ceremony

Love Letter Ceremony Box Set

Engrave for your wedding day

 A recent trend in wedding ceremonies is to incorporate a wine box and love letter ceremony. The love letter ceremony is romantic and unique, serving as a lasting reminder of your commitments made to one another on your wedding day.

Heartfelt letters, encapsulating your thoughts and feelings are locked away in a wine box to be revealed several years into your marriage.

There are those that call it a first fight box, to be opened on your first fight, but we prefer to look at it in a more positive light and many of our couples open it as a celebration of their love on their 5th or 10th Wedding Anniversary! 

Write a “love letter” to each other with your hopes and dreams

Seal your love letters to be opened on one of your future Anniversaries! 

A few weeks before the wedding write a letter to one another.

What made you fall in love with your partner and what are your hopes and dreams for the future.

In other words, you write a “love letter” to each other and place it in a sealed envelope, with the name of your partner on the outside. Do not read what the other has written.

Then seal your letters and give them to your celebrant or minister. Toward the end of your ceremony the Officiant will state the purpose of the Wine Box & Love Letter Ceremony and can say something like the following:

Exclusive Stationery for Bride and Groom

Celebrate your love for one another!

“xxx and xxx have chosen to perform a Wine Box & Love Letter ceremony. This box contains a bottle of wine and a love letter to each other. The letters describe the good qualities they find in one another, the reasons they fell in love and their hopes for their future together. The letters are sealed in individual envelopes and they have not seen what the other has written. Should xxx and xxx ever find their marriage facing hardships, they will open this box, sit and drink the wine together, then read the letters they wrote to one another to be reminded of the reasons why they are together.

The hope is, however, that they will never have a reason to open this box. And if this is the case, they are to open this box to share and enjoy on their 5th year wedding anniversary, replenish and open on their 10th anniversary, and so on.”

Your guests will be pleased to have been a witness to something as unique and different as a love letter ceremony at your wedding.

“Like good wine, great love will deepen & mature with age.”

Lock your words of love away for the future!

“Like good wine, a great love will deepen and mature with age.” The wine must be one that can age well. This is a wonderful time to splurge on a decent bottle, as you won’t be drinking it for a while. If you aren’t wine drinkers, no problem, a bottle of something you both enjoy will be just as meaningful.

You can also include a CD of your favourite music, a favourite picture of you together and other special mementos making it your own romantic time capsule.Keep the box in a place of honour prominently displayed in your home as a constant visual reminder of your love and commitment to each other.

Should you ever hit a rough spot in your relationship, open this box, sit and drink the wine together, then separate and read the letters you wrote to one another before your wedding day.

By reading these love letters you will reflect upon the reasons you fell in love and chose to marry each other. It will remind you of all the reasons you chose this person as your partner and all the things that helped shape the life you’ve created together. Never take your blessings of being together for granted.

Enjoy on your 25th Silver Wedding Anniversary!

Walnut Veneer Wine Box with Lock

The romantic sentiments you wrote, the declaration of love, the thoughts about why you chose this person as your life partner will help put you back on even ground. This is the perfect ritual to remind you of your wedding day and your intention to love and cherish each other in good times and bad for as long as you both shall live.

The hope is, however, that you will never have reason to open this box. If this is the case, open this box to share & enjoy on your 5th Wedding Anniversary, replacing with another bottle and fresh “love letters” to be enjoyed on your 10th, then 15th and eventually your 25th Silver Wedding Anniversary!

Wedding Garters

Beverly Clark Royal Lace Collection Wedding Garter Set

Chocolate & Strawberry Cream Two Piece Bridal Garter Set

Wedding garters are one of the oldest wedding traditions to have stood the test of time. Remaining a significant part of bridal attire, wedding garters are thought to bring fortune to the happy couple.

The wedding garter tradition originated in the 14th century. Today, the tradition of the wedding garter is tame in comparison to then.

In parts of Europe the guests of the bride and groom believed owning a piece of the bride’s wedding dress would bring them good luck. The brides dress was literally tore at and they would actually destroy the brides dress by ripping off pieces of fabric. Horror of horrors!!!

 Obviously, this tradition did not sit well with the bride, so to keep the dress and themselves intact; they began throwing various items to the guests – the garter being one of them.

Sometimes the male guests would become over excited and try to remove the garter from the bride themselves.

It then became customary for the groom to remove the bridal garter from his bride’s leg and throw it himself.

 Many brides choose a wedding garter that incorporates “something blue” from the traditional rhyme – “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and a Silver Sixpence in her Shoe”

Did you ever wonder where the custom “Something Blue” derived from? This dates back to biblical times when blue represented purity and faithfulness.

Back then the bride would wear a piece of blue clothing or a blue band around the bottom of her dress. The ancient Roman maidens also wore blue on the borders of their robes to symbolize their love and modesty, while the Christians associated it with the purity of Virgin Mary.
