I wish to have something at our wedding in remembrance of both our loved ones who have passed away. I'm wanting to know what other people have done or seen at other weddings? Needing some inspiration!

At my twin brother's wedding the bride's father had died a few months before. He was mentioned by the pastor in the welcome, and the brother who gave her away, when the question was asked, said "on behalf of my dad, and my mum, I do". He was also mentioned in the speeches.
30th August 2014 was the best birthday ever.
It was the day that I became Mrs. Dixon.

As many people on here now, my dad passed away last year right before Ryan and I started dating. We try really hard to honour my dad every day (Ryan won every last piece of my heart the day he said he wanted to incorporate my last name into his to help carry on my dad's name) but I am having a hard time thinking of specific ways to do it at the wedding. I thought about having a chair with flowers on it and his picture in the front row, or dancing with my mom to their song at the reception... But I worry that these things will just upset everyone? I don't want my mom to have to be reminded that he isn't there over and over again and yet I really want to feel his presence...
WIN A WEDDING WINNER 2014....Rebecca and Ryan

That's what I'm worried about! I want to have something there showing that we are thinking about them and miss them but don't want to upset everyone on what is supposed to be a happy day! My cousins lit a big candle while the celebrant mentioned their names and relations near the beginning of the ceremony but do not wish to copy their tribute. Thanks for the replies so far ladies!

We're going to have pictures of my nana and OHs nana and grandad. Not somewhere too 'in your face' and were thinking on the gifts table so that you can see it as you walk by so we don't upset anyone with it being in everyone's view
I will be wearing a bracelet which has a blue stone which my mum gave me for my 16th birthday and I will be having a cushion with my mums fave flowers on the seat in the cathedral where she would of sat and also I will be getting a matching bouquet of flowers for her grave. I know she will be mentioned in speeches and I will also do a speech as I know she would of if she was still here lol We are having some slide shows in our reception as the museum has a lot of screens one lot will be family weddings such as H2B parents, and grand parents and my mum and dad and my dad and step mum then my grandparents too, the other slide show will be me and H2B when we were kids and growing up to the point we got together so this will have all mates and family so loads of my mum will be that too :) I would say it is all down to personal choice as some peoples way of remembering loved ones could be to in your face for certain people but enough for others . Do whatever feels right :)

We always tie a helium balloon to a chair at the table for mum, feels like she's been given a place to watch over us then.
I'm having a mini locket sized photo of her on my bouquet as well, and my brother is playing romanza on acoustic guitar during the welcome drink, he did the same at her funeral (it was "her" song, she used to play it all the time and her jewellery box played it. It was her and dad's wedding dance song too)

Hi to remember my dad we are having a candle lit for the time length of the day, a vase of his favourite flowers with his picture and a plaque which says "we know you would be here today if heaven wasn't so far away", also I am going to have my dad's picture attached to a trinket on the back of my shoes so that he is walking down the aisle with me.

We're going to have 'Oil in my lamp' as it was my nan's favourite song and we'll be lighting a candle to remember those who have passed on. Our venue has a Welsh Dresser so we'll be decorating that with our grandparents wedding photos too x

CommentAuthorInDreamland
I really wanted both my grandmothers with me, one flew over from Malaysia which was amazing but unfortunately we lost my other grandmother less than 2 weeks after hubby and I got engaged. My grandmother was very religious and prayed on her rosary every day, the only item I wanted when she passed away was her rosary as I knew how important it was to her, I carried the rosary down the aisle with me.
When I told my best mate the morning of the wedding not to let me forget it she burst into tears. My dad also started looking emotional when I told him before we left the house as I know he'd have loved his mum to be there.

CommentAuthorTheNewMrsBarrett
I've had some things worked in to my brooch/foam flower bouquet in memory of some of my relatives that have passed away: there's a pendant that belonged to my Gran, a tie clip that belonged to my Grandpa, another pendant that an auntie and uncle gave to me when I was 8 and also 2 little thistles to represent my Grandad and my other auntie as they were Scottish. Just want to get a memory charm of some sort now to put a pic of my Dad in xx
