Choosing to incorporate bridal heirlooms into your wedding day will add a unique touch and an extra layer of sentimental value to your day. Heirloom worthy pieces to include in your wedding can range from valuable jewelry to sentimental photographs.
Today, we’re sharing with you 5 bridal heirlooms you’ll want for your wedding day to be passed down for the next generation’s walk down the aisle.
A wedding vow book is a wonderful, modern day heirloom to include on your wedding day. Forget the wrinkled paper, or back-of-the-napkin written vows with a beautifully bond vow book keepsake to have and to hold your loving words forever. (*tip: our vow books can be personalized and used as a ceremony book as well.
Ring Box:
Having a special ring box for your wedding day is nothing new, but it is something that you can get creative with and include as an heirloom for your wedding day. If you don’t have a ring box that was passed down to you, choose one that will go with the theme of your wedding, but also have a timeless feel to it, so that it can be passed down in the future. We have written about unique ring box ideas before, and encourage you to check it out to get inspiration.
Nothing can beat the quality and care that goes into a handmade photo album…and we’re not just talking about the book binding process, but the process of physically printing out your photos and placing them in an album yourself. I love flipping through my grandmother’s old albums to see how she intentionally placed each photograph in the album and looking at the scribbled dates on the back of each photo. It truly is a family treasure that will continue to be passed down.
When selecting a photo album for your wedding day, make sure you are choosing a high quality album that will not only display your photos but also protect them. You want acid free, archival paper and photo safe glue, photo corners or double sided tape to add your photos in. All of our Blue Sky Paper’s Photo Albums meet these standards!
