Our bride Meg honored her mom & dad by adding photos of them to her bouquet on her special day
Weddings are typically filled with happy memories, glee, and laughter. However sadly, times in which family & friends come together also bring the reminder that there will be certain individuals missing in the joyous occasion. Ever so often I’m asked by our couples of ways in which they can honor lost loved ones at their wedding. Rightfully so, as they too should be able to participate in what will be the best day of this couple’s lives. Whether it’s a parent, grandparent, sibling, or other important lost loved one in your life, here are ways in which you can also take the time to do the same.
- Sew a cherished photo of the person into your wedding gown
- Set up a photo display with a special message at the reception to honor lost loved ones
- Hang tiny picture frame charms from your bridal bouquet

- Wipe your happy tears with a loved one’s handkerchief
- Make a charitable donation in that person’s name, in lieu of a wedding favor
- Reserve a seat for someone who couldn’t be there with a single flower
- Wrap the bouquets in ties your father or grandfather once wore
