Besides, there are no rules here: you can do it in the privacy of a hall or with the sunset in the background, surrounded by friends and family or in a lost corner of the world. This ceremony is yours, and the possibilities are endless. Who doesn’t want a magical moment designed to measure?
If you want to know what are the best ideas for a vow renewal ceremony, read on, we’ll tell you all about them!
A new “I do” with history
Renewing your vows in a place full of history adds a unique touch to the celebration. In Spain, we have medieval castles, palaces full of elegance and historical monuments that create the perfect setting for an unforgettable ceremony.
A great option if you are looking to have a vow renewal ceremony in a castle with centuries of history is the Belmonte castle: with its huge, soaring towers and breathtaking panoramic views that transport you to another time.
Or, if you prefer something more majestic, the Linares Palace in Madrid is a place surrounded by architecture and details that evoke sophistication.
And if you want a more iconic option, why not the Alhambra in Granada or the Alcazar in Segovia? These monuments are not only history, they are a perfect representation that even though time passes, there are things that never die.

Vow renewal in “20’s style”.
A night of glamour, where the sound of a live saxophone and dim lights create an atmosphere full of mystery. Fringed dresses and tuxedo suits transform the vow renewal celebration into a trip to the 1920s, an era marked by jazz, elegance and fun.
A party in a ballroom decorated in art deco style, with details in gold and black, and everything also decorated with feathers and pearls that add a vintage touch.
In the background, live jazz music to immerse all guests in an atmosphere of another era. The décor along with dim and neon lighting will transform the venue into an authentic 1920’s celebration.
Of course, in a vow renewal ceremony like this, you can not miss a classic cocktail bar, such as gin and tonic or Martini, or the experience of a photo booth with props from the era that will give more realism to the event.
Here are some options of the most luxurious venues in Madrid to celebrate your vow renewal ceremony in the style of the 20s.

A journey to your origins
Where did it all begin? A vow renewal ceremony that takes you back in time. A way to remember your history by going back to the place where you met, where you had your first kiss or where your wedding took place.
A ceremony that reminds you of the restaurant where you had your first date, or the park where you had your first kiss. A space decorated with details that transport you to the past: photos of you in the past, flowers that remind you of that day or even music that played at the time and that makes you relive the moment.
Recreating a space reminiscent of a special moment, with symbolic elements is a very emotional way to remind everyone why and how your story began. It is an invitation to celebrate your love right where it all came to life.

A second wedding: renewing your vows in style
Renewing your vows with a “second wedding” is an exciting way to relive the excitement of the first day, but now with a touch of maturity and experiences lived together.
After the years, the shared experiences and the challenges overcome, the act of reaffirming mutual love has a new meaning. It can be as intimate or as grandiose as you like, but the important thing is to reflect the growth of the relationship and the renewed excitement of saying “I do” once again.
A second wedding in the same place where you already got married, or in some other special “remarriage” spot. It is the perfect time to create a ceremony that combines the best of the first wedding with who you are now as a couple.
