Touching Ways To Remember Lost Loved Ones At Your Wedding

September 1, 2015 by Ariane 3 Comments

Celebrating your big day without your deceased loved ones can be emotional, but there are ways to honor them at your wedding like creating a memory table. Even though it can be heartbreaking to tie the knot without your loved one in attendance, there are many unique ways that you can honor and remember them when the special day comes around.

The blog editors at WeddingMix know what it feels like to be missing someone very special in your life. That’s why we have compiled a list of creative 20 ways to help remember a departed family and friend that would have been there if they could.

A Personal Story from Ariane, Co-Founder of WeddingMix:

My grandma was one of those rare women who became more beautiful with age. She was incredibly generous with her wisdom and kindness.

I was fortunate enough to have my amazing grandmother be there on my wedding day – but my day also happened to be the last family event she ever attended. While our photographer did capture some beautiful photos of her, I have no video of the great story she shared about her marriage to my grandpa. Or her smackdown challenge to my new husband.

So as the anniversaries go by, I wish more and more that we had a video from our wedding.

Our photos are nice to look at, but the sounds of our band, the laughs from friends, and the hugs with grandmothers can never be truly experienced again.

And that’s the biggest reason my husband and I started WeddingMix, now The Knot and WeddingWire’s #1 Rated Video service.

We wanted to provide an affordable way for every couple to capture, share, and enjoy their priceless wedding photos and videos for a lifetime in a gorgeous wedding video. Even if your loved one can’t make it to your wedding, they can still film marriage advice for you to include in your wedding video later on.

Light a Candle | Remembering Lost Loved Ones at a Wedding

Lighting a candle to remember your lost loved one is a wonderful way to incorporate their memory into your ceremony. You can also have a lit candle on display so that everyone who passes by knows that you are honoring someone special.

Something Borrowed, Something Blue | Remembering Lost Loved Ones at a Wedding

Sewing a piece of your father or any loved one’s blue clothing to your wedding dress can be the perfect “something borrowed” or “something blue” on your special day. It is such an elegant way to incorporate the one you’ve lost into your wedding. You can even cut the fabric into a heart to show just how much you love them.

Displaying photos of your lost loved ones allows for a great DIY project. Whether you create a table filled with pictures or a handmade wreath, having a display is a nice touch that all of your guests can look at and enjoy.

    Please do not release balloons into the air. I’m sure no couple would be happy to know they unintentionally caused wildlife to suffer or die. It’s a real thing. https://www.fws.gov/news/blog/index.cfm/2015/8/5/balloons-and-wildlife-please-dont-release-your-balloons

    Thank you for considering this in your planning!
