Incorporating Lost Loved Ones

Anna, on September 26, 2019 at 8:38 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 6
Hi guys!
I lost my dad when I was a teen, but I definitely want to incorporate him in a lot of aspects of my big day. My FH also lost his grandfather last year who was more like a father to him. What are some ways you incorporated your lost loved ones into your special day, especially a parent or father.

    I didn't have that but I've seen a lot of people add a little photo of their loved ones to their bouquets or have empty seats symbolizing their presence there

    We've both lost our parents, he's lost two brothers and a sister, I also lost my grandma and my cousin/best friend. We're having the our wedding on what would have been my grandma's 100th birthday to honor her. We're having their names read during the ceremony, we're have a memorial dance to "you should be here" by Cole Swindell, and I bought a collage frame to put their photos in on a table with a flameless candle

    I had bouquet charms with a photo of my late grandparents and my aunt.
    I've also seen them done as a pin or cufflinks for the men to wear, or incorporating a scrap of their clothing into the dress.
    H thought about it too late, but he asked his brother if he had their grandpa's cufflinks but they were at his place in GA.

    I lost my grandpa and my eldest brother some years ago. I'll be doing the charms on my bouquet as well, and I'll probably have one 'reserved seat' as a memorial for all of our lost loved ones (it's a really small venue so having one for each person isn't feasible).

    Me and my FH are having 3 seats reserved in the front row for my grandmother, his grandfather, and one of our groomsmen, who have all passed away. We will have a reserved sign, a white rose and a picture of them on the chair. We’ll also have a table to remember our loved ones at the reception, along with a seat for the groomsman we lost at the head table. I also plan on putting a pendant with a photo of my grandma in my bouquet!
