Making Intentional Memories on Your Wedding Day

Writer: Amanda AllabyAmanda Allaby

If there’s one thing I tell every couple, it’s this: your wedding day will fly by in the blink of an eye. That’s why making intentional memories is so important! You want to soak in every beautiful, magical, once-in-a-lifetime moment. So, let’s talk about how to make sure your big day isn’t just a blur but a collection of treasured memories you’ll hold onto forever.



1. Have a Morning Moment Just for You

Before the excitement begins, take a few minutes to yourself. Whether it’s journaling your thoughts, sipping coffee while watching the sunrise, or taking deep, calming breaths, this solo moment will help you ground yourself before the whirlwind of the day begins.


2. Exchange Letters or Private Vows

One of the most emotional (and often tear-jerking) ways to create a meaningful memory is by exchanging love letters or private vows before the ceremony. It’s a quiet, intimate moment that reminds you why you’re saying “I do” in the first place.


3. Plan an “Unplugged” Moment

Encourage your guests to put down their phones and be present—whether it’s during the ceremony, the first dance, or another special part of the day. Trust me, your photographer will capture everything beautifully, and the energy in the room will feel so much more connected and alive.


4. Create a Signature Scent

Scent is one of the strongest memory triggers! Pick a special perfume, cologne, or even a unique candle scent to use throughout the day. Every time you catch that scent in the future, it’ll instantly transport you back to your wedding day.


5. Schedule Sneaky Little Private Moments

In between the first look, the reception, and the dance floor fun, carve out a few intentional moments just for the two of you. A quick sunset walk, a stolen kiss in the bridal suite, or even sneaking away to take a deep breath together—it’s your day, and you deserve to experience it fully with your love.


6. Get Creative with Guest Messages

Instead of a traditional guest book, let your guests leave you voice messages in a vintage phone booth, write notes to open on future anniversaries, or snap Polaroids with handwritten messages. These keepsakes will make your heart so happy for years to come!


7. Dance Like No One’s Watching

I’ve seen the most memorable weddings come to life when couples let loose on the dance floor! Whether it’s a perfectly choreographed first dance or an impromptu singalong to your favorite song, be fully present and enjoy the moment.


8. End the Night with an “Us” Moment

Whether it’s a private last dance, a nighttime stroll under the stars, or sitting together to take in the joy of the day, wrapping up your wedding with a quiet, meaningful moment will be the perfect way to soak it all in.


Your wedding is more than just an event—it’s the beginning of a beautiful new chapter. By creating intentional moments, you’ll walk away with a heart full of love and a memory book overflowing with special moments. So, take a deep breath, be present, and let the magic unfold.


Happy wedding planning, and may your day be everything you dreamed of and more! ✨
