Honoring Deceased Brother at my Wedding

Im having a bouquet charm made with a photo of my dad on it. that is my way to honor and remember him.

Hello. Both of my parents were deceased when I married, so I did the following:

Wore my parents' wedding rings on my right hand.

Had a picture frame charm of them on my bouquet. And the bouquet was wrapped in a blue handkerchief that belonged to my father.

Had a picture of my parents on their wedding day on a table near a picture of my husband and me.

The photo charm is subtle, as is wearing of the jewelry.

I'm so sorry for your passing.. Maybe you could attach a photo charm of your brother into your dress, or bouquet? I think this idea is perfect, it'll be like he's there with you. (:

Thank you for the help. The photo charm does seems like the best option. I was toying with that idea.

My sister passed away a few years as well. She was killed in a car accident along with my nephew just a couple months after her wedding. I am going to be taking a small piece of her wedding dress and having it sewn into mine. Her dress had some red accents so Im going to be using that to make a small heart to be sewn on the inside of my dress. Do you have any of your brothers old clothing you could do something similar with if you wanted?

The empty chair is definitely intense, a personal reminder for you of him is probably the best way to go.

Perhaps a family photo table, with pictures of everyone in the family. Thats what I'm doing to honor my mom.

I have a similar situation to you, OP. I had a little table on the corner of the reception room with a few framed photos of my brother, a small floral arrangement, and a candle. It was subtle and not too intense. Also didn't take away from the festive feel of the reception, I don't think.

I'm having a piece of my dad's favorite jacket sewn into my dress in the shape of a heart. I'll also have a small memorial table with his picture as well as a charm on my bouquet.

What about a lit candle that has a card in front if it honoring him? That's what fh and I are doing for our deceased loved ones.
