Letters
In recent years, it has become increasingly popular for partners to write each other to open and read the morning of the wedding. These are wonderful keepsakes to have so you can revisit those moments before you said ‘I do’.
A wedding invite or favour
Ensure you keep one invitation from your stack as a keep sake. You put a lot of time into choosing your designs and it will be nice to remember the beautiful details of your invites. This also rings true when keeping one of your favours. Bonus, these make excellent gifts for family as well!
Bouquet/boutonniere
Having your bridal bouquet and/or boutonniere preserved so that you can look back on those memories for years to come. From preserving to pressing – there are plenty of options for you to choose from.
You garter, veil or other accessories
