How to include loved one who has passed

sophie, on September 15, 2020 at 6:18 PM Posted in Planning 0 6
**warning long post** Sooooo.. this is definitely not something planning wise that needed to be thought about today, but I got all caught up in my feels and was missing my Caiti a lot. She would’ve been one of my bridesmaids- she was the older sister I never had and was one of the most important people in my life for close to 7 years before she passed this February. Right now all I can think about is how to make sure she’s there with me on the day I get married. We’re not doing a table or a sign as FH and I are lucky not to have anyone else to grieve. I don’t want to put her picture on my bouquet, because that’s what her biological sister did and it’s something that I want to leave for her to have with her sister. Her sister and mom will both be there. She’s technically already going to be “there” through the matching tattoos that my sister (my MOH) and I have, but I want something a little more than that. I’ve toyed with the idea of having some of her art or embroidery on display either at the tables or somewhere else during the reception (adding pics of examples below- not the actual pieces I would choose, I’d have to speak with her mom first to see what they have and what she would be willing to let me display), but beyond that, I can’t think of anything else. Does anyone have any other ideas or would be willing to share what they did?How to include loved one who has passed 1

    Some people leave an empty seat as a symbol of it being theirs if they were here

    I did think about that, but I'd rather have something at the reception and don't want to leave a table 90% full! Thanks for the suggestion!

    All of that is her artwork? She was very talented! What about just randomly placing it around the reception area? All of the wording is wedding appropriate but does it go with your theme & colors? What was her favorite flower? Maybe put it in your bouquet?

    Yes, she was very talentedSmiley catface I'll have to look more into other pieces, those were just the only pictures I had. She did a lot of hand lettering with love songs, so I hope I'll be able to find some that match our theme! Also, I LOVE the idea of putting her favorite flower in my bouquet. I hadn't thought of that at all and I think it would be really special. Thank you so much!

    I like the idea of including her artwork throughout the venue
