Celebrate two years of choosing each other under a glowing sunset.
Short summer reads…
Second wedding anniversary ideas often get overlooked, sitting quietly between the excitement of the first year and the big round numbers later. Yet two years in, you know each other in a deeper way, and that is worth celebrating.
I'm Leon of Twilight Ceremonies, an accredited celebrant and photographer based in Llandudno. Why wait till your 30th when you can celebrate your second year? Here is how to make it count.
Let Cotton Set the Theme
The second anniversary is traditionally cotton, which suits soft, simple plans: a cotton picnic blanket, a favourite shirt from your wedding day, or a cotton ribbon that means something to you both.
A Picnic Somewhere You Love
Pack a blanket and a flask and head to Porth Dinllaen, Llyn Tegid or a quiet corner of Newborough as evening falls. Two hours with no phones can feel like a holiday.
Tie the Knot Again
A cotton cord makes a beautiful handfasting. Handfasting at a sunset vow renewal explains how it works, and we plan it together, so you both know what is coming.
Renew Your Promises Early
The Sunset Vow Renewal is £450.00 on the live offerings page, with refreshed vows, a personalised ceremony and ten Polaroids the same evening. What to say when renewing your vows helps with the words.
An Evening of Photographs
A couples sunset shoot starts at £95.00, with ten Polaroids and sixty digital photographs to set beside your wedding images.
Coming From an Elopement
If you eloped with Elope with Leon, the Ultimate includes a free Twilight celebration that never expires and the Signature 15% off, so year two is a perfect time to use it.
Anywhere You Choose
North Wales gives you beaches, lakes and headlands, but you can choose anywhere: home, your garden, elsewhere in the UK or abroad.
Year two is quietly special, so give it an evening of its own. See summer anniversary ideas, then book a sunset wedding anniversary.
Two years woven together, and still choosing each other.
