Honoring passed father

Arianne, on November 21, 2019 at 11:35 PM Posted in Planning 0 6
Hey everyone! My fiance and I are super excited about our wedding in 2021! But, my dad unfortunately passed away 2 years ago. I was wondering if any of you had your photographer do pics where it has your loved ones silhouette in the background, or super cute pics to emphasize the memorial of them? I need some inspiration, because I feel like every idea is so beautiful and I cant choose !!



Thanks in advance💕

    No but that would be amazing💖 great idea I say do it and check out Pinterest for that idea.


    My dad also passed away I still am trying to get ideas together about what I'll do for him that day but I somewhat think it'll upset my mom if I have stuff for my dad at my wedding. She tends to tell me I need to get over it that he's not here that it doesn't matter because he's not here so why include him😭
    But I will have him everywhere because no matter what my mom thinks because he's a big part of my day even tho he might be physically here but spiritually he will be there👼

    I say its YOUR wedding, so you include what YOU want! Also, pinterest has some adorable ideas for ways to add mini picture frames to your bouquet!! They had cute memorial table/chair ideas too. I'm just hoping maybe seeing them as a part of real weddings will help me decide haha!

    I'm planning to have a memorial table with pictures of loved ones at our wedding. You could put his picture on a little pendent and attach it to your bouquet, so he could "walk" you down the aisle

    Hey Arianne! Welcome to the community!! Congratulations on your engagement!!

    I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I really love that you want to memorialize your father on your wedding day. When it comes to the way you do this, it totally depends on what you are comfortable with.

    Have you seen examples where photographers have added such silhouettes into the background of photos?

    There are so many ways to have the memory of your dad involved in your wedding. You could leave an assigned seat for him at your ceremony and reception, you could include some of your favorite photos of him on a memorial table perhaps accompanied with a favor for your guests like a shot of his favorite drink, or a some of his favorite cigars or you could get a personalized pin that you could add to your bouquet so that he feels close to you as you walk down the aisle.

    I’ve included some photos of what this could look like -
