Remembrance/memorial table?

I am doing a memory table. However instead of having several pictures of those who have passed on, I'm just doing a candle with sentimental/spiritual poem and a sign that says "for those smiling down on us" I did not want to offend either side of the family if we forgot a picture of someone or unable to find a great picture. So I kept it simple for that reason. Hope that helps and congrats!

Thanks everyone

I do like the idea for putting something beautiful, but applicable to all who've passed. I wouldn't want to forget anyone either.

I see this all the time and I think it's really lovely.

I love the idea. We had to decide against it out of respect for my FSIL who lost 2 babies as well as other relatives who sadly just recently lost sig others. If we only had grandparents between us deceased, it would have been a lovely lovely gesture. Go for it! It will not be the focal point of the day but a special thing for you.

My cousin had a memorial table with a candle in the middle and pictures of the people who have since moved on, with a little poem. We thought about doing it too.

I'd say do it, especially if they were important in your lives. I want to do the same for FH grandmother who past a little over a year ago

Go for it! We were going to do a table, but opted out because I thought it would be too emotional for my mom and grandmother since my grandfather passed away a few years ago. I am going to do a charm on my bouquet with a photo of us in it instead.

Y'all are so helpful on here and thank you for sharing your thoughts

We are doing a memorial table with a poem. I'm also attaching small photo charms to my bouquet for my two grandma's and my papaw. Similar to this.

We are doing a single rose to symbolize for all and little poem about it

I love it! I've been considering doing the same. I saw in a bridal magazine the idea of putting a picture of the people who passed on in a picture frame on a chair in the front row of the ceremony. A sweet idea I think. I've also seen a little table set up dedicated to the people who "couldn't make it but are watching from heaven" which I thought was the sweetest thing. My FH's grandpa's birthday is the same day of our big day so I'm leaning towards a table of dedication. Whatever you choose to do will be special

I'm lighting a candle @ reception with a sign saying it's for guests who are missed and who are in Heaven.

I think it's lovely

I'm doing a sign with a candle. I made the sign on vista print. Then I'm going to have a picture charm on my bouquet.

Mine is mostly for my little sister. She died very young and to have pictures up of her I think would be to hard for my family and I.

Originally I wanted to do some sort of grand gesture but everything I thought of would just be too sad for everything.

I'm hoping this will be a perfect way to honor them.

We lost both my mom and his younger sister fairly recently in car accidents... We discussed the memorial part of this with family and have decided to forgo pictures, reserved seats and just have a simple engraved candle holder with their names and a a sweet message. More than one person commented that the pictures or seats would be too much for them that day and that they wanted to focus on the happiness, but that is our family... You have to do what is right for you.

I can't do the table. I am going the photo charm route. The FH can't even talk about his brother being KIA...much less me place a pic of him on prominant table. Another uncomfortable conversation we are going to have to have...

Not strange at all. Remembering loved ones does not have to just be sad. Your wedding is a celebration of you and your FS, and you know those who have passed would love to have been there so finding a way to include them, I think, is very sweet.

I plan to have a small table with a white flower arrangement, a candle and a sign honoring those who are too ill to attend, and memorializing those who have passed. And totally unexpected bonus, our Florist is giving us that arrangement for free.

I am doing something bit I don't know what yet. My maternal and paternal grandparents are deceased as well as my mother. His grandmother is deceased so we will have something in their memory.
