Your Marriage Vows are Perfect Art for your Bedroom
Your marriage vows are the important promises you made to each other on that happy day of your wedding. A great place to hang those promises are over your bed! It can remind you every night to say, "I Love You."
Are you celebrating your first year of marriage? Congratulations! This is the time to get your marriage vows calligraphed! The traditional first year wedding anniversary gift is paper. The marriage vows you made to each other on your wedding day make a wonderful, romantic 1st-anniversary gift.
Husband’s or Wife’s Wedding Vows or Both!
I’ve written marriage just the vows of the husband, or the wife. But if the vows are about the same length, and not too long, both vows can be combined in a single calligraphy art piece. If the husband’s vows are longer than the wife’s vows it can be problematic. In a calligraphy art piece you want balance. What I’ve done below is to adjust the spacing of the lines. I know that’s not generally something that people consider when having their wedding vows calligraphed. But as a professional calligrapher, that’s very much in my plan of how to make your marriage vows beautiful!
Combining Wedding Photo with your Marriage Vows
A year after your wedding you have access to the wonderful photographs to pick from your wedding and can have your favorite picture to add with your wedding vows calligraphed. It’s a really romantic gift for your partner!
Photographers often don’t leave room on a photo to superimpose your calligraphy vows. That’s where Photoshop comes in! Sometimes I have to extend the ocean or a background to have a place where I can put your calligraphy marriage vows! But if you know ahead of time that you’ll want to have a First Anniversary gift of calligraphy, make sure to tell your photographer ahead of time.
Here’s an example of how I extended the ocean to leave space for the calligraphy.
Vows with No photo
This was a really sad story. All of their wedding photos were destroyed, except for one picture of the wedding bouquet. Thankfully photoshop allowed me to make it look more like a painting so that they had artwork for their vows.
Some couples prefer a background without a wedding photo.
Marriage or Wedding Vows Most Popular Custom Calligraphy Request
Calligraphy won’t wilt, can’t be the wrong size, is not fattening, and is always the perfect unique 1st Anniversary gift! Wedding vows, both his and hers can be done separately, or with matching backgrounds. And you can incorporate wedding photos, or a background of your choice. It’s a great way to remember your First Year Anniversary – with beautiful calligraphy.
His and Her Marriage Vows
his couple wanted a mirror image of their wedding vows on two separate pieces. They were framed exactly the same. The calligraphy vows were placed over the side of the bed where they slept at night. I thought that was a very romantic idea.
