Honoring Deceased Family

Im so sorry for your loss!! I think that having a charm picture on your boquette is a beautiful was to have him by your side on your special day! you can get them off etsy and that would be a personal way to have him. there are also the reserved seat for him and the memory tables. you can also take a piece of his clothing maybe a tie and use it around your boquette or even cut a piece and have it sewn into your dress

View Quoted Comment Oh I LOVE the idea of incorporating a piece into my dress. Thank you for your kind words and perfect suggestions !

I agree with the pp. I am doing a double charm for both of my parents. You can also reserve a seat for him at the ceremony with his name or picture on the back. You can even reserve a seat at the reception.

Sorry for your lost. I lost my dad so ill have a PowerPoint slide deicated to him. So when im walking dwn the aisle hell be right there. I hope this helps

I have several people that have passed that are important to me. I'm going to incorporate something about each of them. Anywhere from a favorite flower or favorite food.

I am thinking of doing a small framed sign with a few family members names with the place cards.

My hubby and I are widow/widower and as a special touch wanted to remember our late spouses and both sets of parents but not turn our moment into a memorial, so instead I tucked a monogrammed handkerchief purchased by his late wife in his breast pocket ( unbeknownst to him and one of the last gifts she gave him) and I incorporated a tiny rose into my bouquet as a memory to my late hubby (he always grew roses for me). As far as our parents, we put the "in memory of...' on our wedding program. After the wedding that evening when I revealed to my new hubby of the added touches, we were both moved and joyful that both spouses were remembered privately. We wanted the wedding to reflect 'a new beginning', not solemn.

My dad passed away when I was younger and my fiancé lost his grandpa a few years back and we are saving them a seat at the reception and the ceremony with a picture of them

At the ceremony leave a seat reserved for thin and put a flower there. Or at the reception, include a photo of him with a sign saying “we know you’d be here today if heaven wasn’t so far away” or something like that.
