So my dad passed away back in 2012, and basically I’m looking for ideas so that he can still be part of the wedding day. I’ve thought about wearing a bracelet of which he brought me and wearing it as my something old, but just would like some other ideas.

Sorry to hear that. I lost my dad in 2017 and my granddad the year before. Im going to have a table dedicated to them with photos and a lit candle. I have also thought about having a locket type chain attached to my bouquet so he can walk down the aisle with me.

I’d get a bouquet locket or reserve him a chair

I know someone who’s mum passed away and had a locket with a picture of her mum in her wedding bouquet

Sorry for your loss. Reserving a chair with your favourite picture of him is a lovely idea or a locket in you bouquet. X

I liken the idea of reserving a chair. He would be proud I’m sure!

My dad is on a picture locket that is attached to my bouquet so he will be with me walking down the aisle. Also my h2b has lockets on button hole of his parents too.

My friend, put together a table at the entrance/near the cake with photos on of loved ones who sadly are not there. With a lit candle. Which looked stunning. Look on Pinterest.

Can I ask who is giving you away? My darling dad died the year before I got married and my brother gave me away. When asked who gives this woman he said “on behalf of my father I do”
I also had a photo of him up at the reception. It was perfect xxx
