Honoring deceased family members

Danielle, on September 24, 2019 at 9:21 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6
Both my fiancée and I have lost grandparents who we were very close with as well as a sibling. I am looking for a creative way to honor those people. I know the idea of a table with their pictures but I was hoping for something a little more personable. Any ideas?

    Some people will have their photos with a corsage/boutonniere in a reserved seat at the ceremony.

    We will have white roses on a reserved seat during the ceremony and some pictures up during the reception.

    On top of the memorial table we will be hanging a windchime for our friend and her mother. Would you be able to include something personal or that represents your lost loved ones?

    I bought a collage frame that i'll place on an easel on a table along with a flame less candle in a vase. Their names will also be read during the service, and we're doing a memorial dance to a song called "you should be here" by Cole Swindell. The dance is in place of the father/ daugher and groom/mother dances because sadly both sets of parents had passed away.

    Unfortunately all of our grandparents have passed, so we wanted to honor them at our wedding. We had a memorial table, then mentioned their names in "guests in spirit" in our program, and our officiant mentioned them by name in the beginning of our ceremony.

    Both of my parents have passed away, and I will have two seats reserved for them where they would be sitting during the ceremony. I'll have their favorite flower on each chair, and when my Uncle is about to give me away, he will mention my parents and himself. Also, you could have a favorite song of theirs played during the big day to remember them!
