Memorial tributes

I'm so sorry to hear that.. For our wedding, we are having a table of photos of our grandparents that have passed away. I'm also having our officiant say a few words about them during the ceremony.

A lot of people who are using bouquets, will have a little photo charm of their loved ones on the bouquet

I’m so sorry for your loss .


For our grandparents, we are doing a picture memorial table, we are going to dedicate a song by one of my grandfather’s favorite musicians to him and my FH’s grandparents’ wedding song to them, and I’m going to put a jeweled peridot pin in my bouquet because it’s my grandfather’s birthstone. Another idea would be to reserve a seat for her at your ceremony and put a flower on the seat and/or a picture of her there.

I'm so sorry for your loss! My grandfather was extremely special to me, so I am carrying his rosary down the aisle on my bouquet. In addition, we are giving both grandfathers (both deceased) their own chair at the ceremony and placing an item of theirs on the chair-- eyeglasses and favorite fedora in their case.

I saw that someone took a flower from their deceased parent's funeral, saved it and then put it on a chair left empty at their wedding. Or like PP said, leaving an object they loved on an empty chair is sweet.

There are also charms tied to your bouquet, their picture and a candle burning for them (that's what I'm doing with a sign "We knew you'd be here if heaven weren't so far away". You could also do something that reminds you of them, like playing their favorite song, reading a poem they like, something like that.

I am so sorry for your loss. My grandma was my best friend and she passed about 7 years ago now. I had this bouquet charm made with her handwriting engraved into the heart to have her with me as I walked down the aisle.

So very sorry for your loss. My mom is walking me down the aisle as my dad has since passed away from cancer 17yrs ago and both my grandparents are passed. I’m going to have a pew in my church open with flowers for all that have passed away and then a memorial for them at the reception.

I'm very sorry.
My grandpa passed away in 2014 and I wanted to include him somehow. I have an old leather jacket of his that I'm going to drape over the front row of seats off the side.
One of my best friends has said that she wants to incorporate her dad's ties, and might have all the guys in her wedding party wear one.
