From getting ready to your last dance, your wedding day is filled with endless tasks, pictures, guests, to-dos, and everything in between. It can be a challenge to incorporate private moments on your wedding day with your spouse when there is always something to attend to.
At BVTLive! we understand how important it is for you to share intimate, quiet moments together on your special day. Below are a few ideas for creating memorable, private moments that will leave a lasting impression, for just the two of you, on your wedding day!
Private Last Dance After Reception
Everyone knows about the first dance, but have you ever heard of a private last dance after your reception is over? After your wedding reception has come to end and everyone is making their way to your wedding after party you and your spouse stay for one final dance. We suggest keeping your videographer and photographer around to capture this beautiful moment that ends your special day. Incorporating this last dance into your wedding day will allow you and your spouse to slow down after your long day and truly connect with one another.
A great way to get song inspiration for any part of your wedding day is by visiting our Songs for Weddings page! We have playlists that cover all aspects of your wedding! From getting ready to the day after newlywed brunch BVTLive! always has you covered! Let your Philly Wedding Band or DJ, provided by BVTLive! or On It Productions, help make your last dance special!
Private First Look, Touch, or Prayer
The first look is one of the most special moments you and your spouse will share on your wedding day. It is the first time, before you are officially married, that the two of you will get to see one another in all of your glory! Emotions will be high but that is the beauty of this private moment; you will share it, only, with your soon to be spouse!
If you want to save that magical moment of seeing each other for the first time when walking down the aisle, consider an alternative like a ‘first touch’ or a shared prayer instead. In this intimate moment, you and your spouse stand on opposite sides of a corner wall and reach out to hold hands. It’s a time to connect, offering words of love, wisdom, or even a prayer together. This quiet, private time is meant to ease your nerves and remind you both why you’re here—celebrating the beautiful love and commitment you’ve found in one another.
Reading Vows in Private
Vow readings have been a cherished part of weddings for centuries, symbolizing the deep love between partners. Recently, we’ve noticed a beautiful new trend emerge: the private vow reading! When sharing your vows, you’re opening your heart and declaring your most intimate feelings for your spouse. Doing so in private allows you to declare your love without the pressure of an audience. This quiet, personal moment allows you both to connect on an even deeper level, creating a lasting memory that’s just for the two of you. It is a moment dedicated solely to your love and the journey you’re about to embark on together.
Post Ceremony “Cool Down” Before Reception:
Your wedding ceremony is over, and the true party is about to begin, but a cool down moment together could be just what the both of you need! Retreating back to your suite for a quick 10 to 15-minute cool down with your partner will give you both the opportunity to spend some quality time as newlyweds before the festivities begin! This will allow for the both of you to have alone time, to eat, relax, and reflect on your beautiful wedding ceremony. You can even share your first toast as newlyweds; to the beginning of your lives together!
Private Letter Reading Before Wedding Ceremony:
Writing a letter to your soon-to-be spouse to read before walking down the aisle usually takes place during the getting ready process and pairing it with a gift is an amazing way to begin your wedding day festivities! These letters can include anything you want them to know, your emotions, words of wisdom or love, etc. This private moment is so special because it is something you both experience, but you experience it alone. On your wedding day there are very few things that you and your spouse get to do completely alone, and this is a beautiful way to do something apart, while still having a piece of one another!
Private Audio Book Message:
Audio guest books have seen a huge boom in the wedding sphere! Although mostly used for guests, you and your spouse could instead sneak away to leave one another a message! After your ceremony both of your emotions are so high and full of love and what better way to express that than a special private message to your spouse. As an added bonus, these messages can then be sent to your videographer to be added into your wedding video. Now, not only do you have beautiful surprise messages from one another, but also a lasting keepsake from your special day!
BVTLive! and On It Productions offer an audio guest book option for your wedding that can be tailored to fit your wedding theme! All of the audio will then be compiled onto an SD card, exported, and then sent to you and your spouse for a keepsake you can listen back on forever.
