If you are knee-deep in wed-min at the minute today we’re urging you to take a step back and think about the wedding day keepsakes you would like to have after the Big Day is over. You might be surprised that they will have an impact on some of the decorative items you choose, let us explain…
The things you keep from your wedding day is your spouse, your wedding rings and your photos (and video if you choose to have one), but the day that has cost you a fortune in time and money deserves to have more keepsakes. Today we are sharing six ideas that you can cherish for the rest of your life.
Signage
Ok, it might look a little crazy if you have a sign saying “Welcome to Pat and Jo’s Wedding” in your entrance hall at home, but generic signs you use will make great pieces of artwork for the walls of your home.

Accessories
Of course you may have chosen a dress that you can wear again, although we’d guess most of you will go all-out bridal, but your bridal accessories are perfect for keeping and wearing again. Are you saving hard for your dream pair of Jimmy Choo’s? Go for a metallic shade and you’ll be able to wear them with every outfit, on every special occasion for years to come!

Guestbook
Your guestbook doesn’t actually have to be a book. Think outside the box, have a look at these suggestions and create a unique piece of art that will keep you smiling for years to come.

Bouquet
Your wedding day doesn’t have to be the first and last time you see your bouquet – why not have it preserved and framed so that you can hang it pride of place in your home to look at every day? We love this sweet idea.

Ceremony backdrop
Are you having a bespoke ceremony backdrop created for your Big Day? Maybe you are going for a neon heart just like the cool couple above, or a wooden geometric masterpiece? Find somewhere awesome in your home to display it, or perhaps create a fun centrepiece in your garden!

Cake stand
Gone are the day where your wedding cake simply sat on any old plinth. These days couples are being super creative and using unique charger plates and display tables to show off the reception centrepiece. Why not use it in your home on special occasions like Christmas or on your anniversary?
