How to honor my deceased sister as a flower girl?

Maybe have a photo of her on your bouquet?

Well I'm crying for the rest of the night. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. We are battling cancer in my family right now too and I am praying my grandpa will make it to my wedding or at least be able to see the pictures. I absolutely love the photo on the bouquet idea!

If you are having a program maybe list her as the honorary flowergirl

Oh my gosh so sorry to hear! What a sweet yet tear jerking idea

I'm so sorry for your loss. I really like megs idea.

How about put your favorite picture of her in the basket of rose petals & light a candle for her at the alter

Did she have a favorite flower? You could tie that in somehow. Your bouquet, use it for the petals the flower girl will toss (if you're having another flower girl). If she didn't have a favorite flower, maybe use her favorite color somewhere?

it's beautiful that you want to still include her. Perhaps a small photo like the ones for shoes, hooked to the flower bucket/basket so she can walk down the aisle too

Can you have a table set up at the end of the aisle - like non alter end. With a basket of petals and her photo (or just a note of her photo will make you loose your shit) so everyone can see it as they come in?

I also like the program idea, if you are doing them.

Love Erin's idea!!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss, and I believe that the best way to honor her would be something that will make you feel like she would be proud of it but nothing too much to make you overly emotional day of missing her either (even though you definitely will). My friend had this happen and they did baskets of flowers at the end of the aisle, and when she would have walked down asked guests to grab a flower in her memory, but if that costs too much could have guests help sprinkle the aisle for her so she can get a good laugh from heaven

We have had people who have passed including his best friend / best man. We are setting up a display with their pictures and candles with an in memorial poem.

I would recommend listing her as the FG in the program, and possibly doing a memorial table in the ceremony area. I wouldn't ask another little girl to fill the role in her absence.

If you've already decided to ask someone else to be FG, too, then I think the idea to include your sister's picture in or on the FG basket would be nice. I'd list both girls as FG in the program.

I second the idea of incorporating her favorite flower

Maybe have someone walk holding an 8x10 photo of her So sorry for your loss. Also love the program idea.

I got into flower language for my bridesmaid ideas. If you're not set in flowers maybe you could read up on some and pick your wedding flowers based on flowers that reflect her personality. That might be sweet.

Really sorry, that must be really hard.

You could pick a different flower girl and have a locket with her photo on it tied to the basket, have a memorial photo and candle at the ceremony or reception or in the program, say a prayer for her during the speeches, have a photo locket of her on your bouquet, there are many ways to honor her memory. I'm so sorry for your loss. This time must be bittersweet. Sending prayers your way.

Pintrest has some great ideas as to honor those who have gone on the great adventure. Both my parents are gone so I looked a few up.

I love the idea of the table at the beginning of the aisle with baskets of petals and either her photo or a message of some sort. Maybe have guests grab a handful on the way to their seats and drop them as they go?

Love @SchooleyWeds2018's idea! It would be a nice way for everyone to share in the remembrance of her as they help scatter petals
