Renewal of Vows

Celebrating a milestone of love. A Renewal of Vows ceremony is a touching opportunity for a married couple to reaffirm the promises they made to one another. Whether the couple has been married for one year or fifty, this ceremony honors the journey they have traveled together and the future they continue to build.

The Lasso (El Lazo)

Symbolizing an infinite bond, this beautiful unity ritual, known as El Lazo, is a tradition in Hispanic, Filipino, and Latin American cultures but is increasingly popular in modern non-denominational weddings. It involves draping a rosary, double-looped cord, or floral garland around the couple’s shoulders in the shape of a figure-eight.

Community Growth Bouquet

Weaving together love and support, this interactive unity ritual invites friends and family to play an active role in the ceremony. By contributing individual flowers to a central vase or bouquet, the guests physically demonstrate their collective support for the couple’s marriage.

Wine Box & Love Letter

A gift for the future. This ceremony is a unique and romantic time capsule designed to support the couple during the inevitable ups and downs of marriage. By sealing away a bottle of wine and handwritten letters to one another, the couple creates a "emergency kit" for their relationship or a special celebration for a future anniversary.

Joining of the Roses "First Gift"

A tradition of simple devotion. The Rose Ceremony is a brief but deeply moving ritual that takes place immediately after the couple has been pronounced married. It marks the very first gift they give to one another as spouses: a single red rose, the universal symbol of love.
