18 Ways To Honor Loved Ones That Have Passed At Your Wedding
Weddings are a time for celebration of love, life, and family, but sometimes certain loved ones have passed on. When faced with this decision-making process don’t feel overwhelmed. Here’s a list of ideas for you to consider:
1. Attach of photo of your loved on to your bouquet stem. You can place the photo in an open-faced locket or a closed locket. Either way it will be beautiful.
2. Create a collage of photos that you can tastefully display at your wedding. Most couples use a separate table for this idea or the guest book area.
3. Reserve a seat in the ceremony space with their name on a plaque or a small mirror with customized calligraphy.
4. Hanging Tree: Use fishing string or straw-strung to hang photos from a tree in an artful manner. I’ve seen photos of this on Pinterest. It’s actually really beautiful.
5. Take a moment of silence or prayer in their honor.
6. Wear a piece of jewelry in their honor. Grandma’s earrings or veil for example.
7. Candle-lighting Ceremony
8. Play their favorite song. Ask guest to dance to it or sing along with it .
9. Lantern Send Off: You may have to keep participants to a minimum but this is a great way to honor a loved one at your wedding.
10. Print a photo of the loved one, hold it, and have your wedding photographer capture that.
11. See something of quality material to your wedding dress in honor of them.
