Create a lasting and emotional impact

A guide to writing heartfelt wedding vows

Your wedding day is a momentous occasion filled with love, promises, and celebration. One of the most important moments of this special day is when you exchange heartfelt wedding vows with your partner. It’s the perfect chance to share your story and share meaningful words with the person you love, reflecting your love and commitment. 

In this guide, Springfield House will provide tips and ideas for crafting heartfelt wedding vows that will create a lasting and emotional impact on your special day.

How to Write Wedding Vows?

1. Start Early and Reflect

Begin the vow-writing process well in advance of your wedding day. Take time to reflect on your relationship, your partner, and your journey together. Think about the qualities you love in your partner, the memorable moments you've shared, and your hopes for the future.

2. Keep It Personal

The key to heartfelt vows is personalisation. Avoid using generic or clichéd phrases. Instead, speak from the heart. Share personal anecdotes and memories that are unique to your relationship. Use your partner's name and address them directly.

3. Be Sincere and Authentic

Authenticity is paramount when writing wedding vows. Be sincere in your words and express your true feelings. It's okay to be vulnerable. Your vulnerability will touch the hearts of your guests.

4. Structure Your Vows

You may begin with a warm greeting and express your love. Then, share what you admire and appreciate about your partner. Next, make promises for your future together. Finally, end with a heartfelt closing statement.

5. Seek Inspiration

Read poetry, love letters, or watch movies that inspire you. Sometimes, finding inspiration from others can help you find the right words to express your feelings.

6. Edit and Practice

Once you've written your vows, edit and refine them. Practice saying them aloud to ensure they sound natural. Keep a copy with you on your wedding day in case you need a little reminder.

The process of crafting a wedding vow can feel overwhelming as you plan your special day. At the end of the day, it is your personal story and affirmation of promises to your partner, so feel free to express yourself. And, if you find yourself in need of assistance with other crucial elements of your wedding, such as selecting the perfect wedding venue, planning the menu, organising entertainment, or others, reach out to Springfield House.

"It was absolute perfection from start to finish. Hannah and Monique were beyond incredible throughout the entire journey. Their attention to detail, kindness and patience made the planning process feel effortless. Nothing was ever too much trouble. They handled every question, every tiny detail my type A brain obsessed with, and every last-minute change with complete grace. We had chosen The Pavilion for our reception venue and it was BEYOND magical – the most perfect, enchanted garden estate fairytale we could have ever dreamed of. "

“We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at Springfield House and could not be happier with our experience!! Special thanks to the staff, especially Monique (an ANGEL), who were proactive, kind and responsive to the many questions we had since the beginning of our planning days. Given that wedding planning can be stressful, the staff made the process easy and uncomplicated and this went a long way. Guests enjoyed the food and atmosphere, and the major plus of having the whole venue to yourself made the day feel more intimate. 100% would recommend this venue to future couples - such a steal."

“Shout out to Hannah for handling our wedding on the day! She went above and beyond to help us the best way she could to make the wedding run smoothly. Even during the planning stages of the wedding, she was very professional, supportive and friendly every time we met up. Springfield House is a beautiful venue and the food was delicious and very generous with their portions. We loved that we got the whole estate to ourselves so we could enjoy the venue and its surroundings more intimately. Thank you so so much Hannah and Springfield House for welcoming us! It truly was the best day ever!"

“We recently had our wedding at Springfield House, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we booked, everything was smooth and stress-free. The team was so easy to work with and always accommodating. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Monique, our events coordinator, who went above and beyond for us. She was incredibly helpful, supportive, and organised throughout the entire planning process and right up to the big day, we’re so grateful for her guidance and care. On the day itself, everything ran perfectly. The staff were warm, professional, and attentive, making sure everything flowed effortlessly. The venue looked stunning, the atmosphere was magical, and the food was absolutely amazing , we’re still getting compliments from our guests! Springfield House gave us the wedding of our dreams, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly."
