Couples memory book ideas often begin with photographs, but the most treasured pages usually hold words: letters, promises and little notes that show who you were at each stage.
I'm Leon, an accredited celebrant and photographer based in Llandudno. My experiences each leave you with words and keepsakes to hold, so here is how to gather them into one book.
Start With the Proposal Letter
A guided proposal with Where Two Bloom is built around a bespoke Love Letter, read aloud before you propose. It goes home with you, with your handwritten words and Polaroids inside, ready to become page one.
Add Your Ceremony Script
Elope with Leon couples receive a presentation box with their ceremony script and certification. A copy of the script makes a wonderful middle chapter.
Keep Your Refreshed Vows
Vows from a Twilight Ceremonies sunset renewal belong here too, alongside the ten Polaroids handed to you that evening.
Collect the Registry Letters
Each year of the Love Story Registry brings a commemorative letter about your love story, with Polaroids and postcard-sized imagery. Over time, these letters become chapters of their own.
Little Things to Tuck In
A pressed flower from a walk near Betws-y-Coed or from your Registry flowers.
A hand-drawn map of the coast path at Moelfre, where you walked one summer.
Tickets and notes from days out together.
A line from each of you, written every anniversary.
Pair It With Your Album
Your memory book holds the words and objects, while your Love Story Album holds the photographs. Together they tell the whole story.
Wherever Your Story Unfolds
You can choose anywhere for your experiences: your home or garden, elsewhere in the UK, or abroad.
Words written at each stage become the story you will read together later. Read how to tell your love story, then plan your experience.
