If you are planning on writing your wedding vows, chances are you'll need somewhere to write them down. Enter the wedding vow book. Not only are wedding vow books a beautiful tangible keepsake to hold on to and remember your day, they also serve an important purpose too! Rather than unfolding creased sheets of paper or pulling out your phone to read from the screen during the ceremony, a beautiful vow book will look so much nicer in your wedding photos. Plus, they can keep your thoughts organised, and give your hands something to hold if you get nervous.
Vow books can also go beyond the wedding day to help you document special moments in your marriage, to mark milestones or leave handwritten anniversary notes to each other. Don't love your own hand-writing? You can always have a calligrapher copy your vows neatly in them or in special writing for a keepsake piece making it a truly beautiful wedding heirloom, for you and for your loved ones.
