Looking for ideas/ advice

I’m so sorry, Rebecca! Big hugs to you. What about a locket with her photo wrapped around your bouquet? You can remember she’s walking with you down the aisle.

Some people have a table or spot where they highlight those lost. Or a special chair in remembrance of them, symbolic.

I have my grandmother's name embroidered on my veil in blue. She is my something blue and something borrowed I'm going to frame it and give it to my mom.

I love this!

Rebecca my heart breaks for you it is very hard losing a parent. I'm leaving a chair for my dad I will also have a sign next to the place card table that has a picture of him and my grandmas attached to a sign that says " I know you would've been here but Heaven is too far! Please know you are missed! We are also having a memorial candle that the siblings will light.

I invited my Mom’s Aunts, First Cousins, and friends and I will have a picture of her.

Congratulations and 🍀‼️

Maybe you can have your photographer photoshop in a picture of your mom in that kind of “transparent” way that they do for people who have passed. I don’t know how to better explain it. Hopefully you know what I’m talking about lol

I lost both of my grandma’s, one of whom passed around the time I got engaged and it was hard knowing she wouldn’t be at my wedding. So I added my grandma’s photos to these charms I found at Michael’s and they walked me down the aisle in spirit.

I am so sorry for your loss. My FW's mom passed 11 years ago. We will have a memorial table with a picture of her, and one of our very dear friend that brought us together and passed away a year and a half ago. We will also have a rainbow wind chime at the reception for both of them because they both loved rainbows and there's a whole story about windchimes there. You can also place her picture on a chair, maybe with a corsage if your FMIL will be wearing one. I also like the idea of a locket with her picture in it so she will be with you as you walk down the aisle, you can pin it inside your dress too. My suggestion would be to make it personal to your mom and make it something that makes it feel to you like she is with you.

So sorry!!!! I can’t imagine what you are going through. But she will be there in spirit! Look around on Pinterest!! There are so many wonderful things you can do in her honor at your weddig

I'm so sorry, I can't imagine not having my mom there for my day! That being said my sister (we have always been very close, I never imagined not having her at my wedding) passed 8 months ago in the end of January and I plan on doing a few things to honor her.

These will be on My bouquet, one of my sisters bouquets, our childhood bestfriends bouquet and my moms corsage.

Thought this would be cute too but haven't decided. Might be too in my face with how recent it still is

Love this idea, my sister was former navy so I figured I'd do this with her picture from basic graduation.

I'm so sorry you lost your mom so young. It's not fair that she'll miss out on so many of your milestones in life. Definitely like the bouquet charm idea. You can also take something of hers and pin or sew it inside your dress so she's close to your heart.

I had broaches on my bouquet that belonged to each of my grandmothers who have both passed. I also had wedding photos of the parents and grandparents displayed to honor them a little.
is there a certain snack or light meal your mom used to make you that would be nostalgic to have as Pre wedding food? Or a hairpin, jewelery etc. that belonged to her that you could incorporate? Or something that could blend In with decorations that belonged to her? I’ve also seen people use a pice of fabric from a loved ones clothing to make a heart that is seen into the inside of their dress on the left side so it is like they are close to their heart.
I hope you can find something that works for you ❤️

Im making a memory window for my family who has passed. 8 people, so I couldnt put aside chairs but I'm putting the window on an easel near the head table, so I can see it. ❤
