A wedding is more than just the joining of a couple, but the joining of two families into one. Our family members have been important parts of our lives from our beginning long before we meet our future spouses. Sadly some couples experience the loss of important family members long before their wedding day, leaving a void in the festivities. But there are ways to represent these important lost loved ones and make sure they are remembered for all that they meant to us. Today I want to share some sweet ways on honoring loved ones during your wedding. These are all great ways to have them be present on one of your most important days

A great way to honor the memory of your loved on is to incorporate something of theirs into you wedding day. We’ve seen brides wear their loved ones jewelry or grooms sport a passed relatives tie. Sometimes having an item of your loved one there can give you the comfort of knowing they were in a way present for your event.

Photo tables are a great way to incorporate family past and present. It is fun for guests to be able to look back and physically see the people who meant to the most to you and an even better way to remember them during your event.

Toasts are a time honored tradition at a wedding. It is a time to reflect on memories and share in the moment with all of your guests. Why not have guests toast to the honor of a passed loved on and acknowledge how much they meant to you.
How you decide to honor your loved ones is a personal decision. But sharing the people who meant so much to you during your big day is something that will make your wedding more whole and complete.
