Question from Teresa:
My hubby and I will be married 20 years this Dec. and are planning to renew our wedding vows. Is an ivory tea length wedding dress appropriate for such an occasion and is the ceremony much like that of a first wedding?
Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Teresa, and congratulations on 20 years of marriage! An ivory tea length wedding dress is perfect for a renewal of vows. When planning a renewal of vows, the ceremony is similar to a wedding, but the focus is on renewing an existing commitment instead of focusing on a new commitment. If you were married in a church, your religious leader will have a renewal of vows ceremony for you to look at.
Whomever you choose to have as an officiant for your wedding will have samples of a renewal of vows ceremony for you to choose from, and the experience to advise you on how you might want to create your vow ceremony.
The reception is basically a party that you can plan in any way you like. The traditional gift of a 20th anniversary is China, and you can follow that Asian theme through with a Cherry Blossom theme or an eco-friend theme with these great bamboo favours. Enjoy!
