Hey All..
Just wanted to get some ideas from you guys for this..
My FI's mom died 4 years ago, it will be 6 years when we get married and we want to do something really thoughtful to honor her at our wedding... what ideas do you all have? She was his rock..so I want it to be something kinda big.

My one thought was to have one of our colors be her favorite color..Pink and say so in the program but what other ideas are out there?
Thanks!
Josie

My dad passed away 9 years ago. (Hard to believe) Anyways, I'm honoring him in many ways. My something blue is his ring (it has a blue stone in it), using my mom and his flute's wedding flutes, using his wrap thingy for our chuppah, and my nephew who is named after him is my ring bearer. I was planning on cutting up one of his shirts and using it as my ring pillow, but it didn't work out. HTH.

I saw this super cool charm thing on project wedding - it was about the size of a quarter, and inside was a piece of lace from the bride's grandmother's wedding dress. The bride put the charm on her bouquet. I thought it was really beautiful.

The typical things I've seen are having some kind of trinket on the brides bouquet (rings, necklaces, pocketwatches, etc.), or having bouquets to honor certain people.

I am actually doing the charm thing with lace from my grandmother's wedding dress, I posted it a few weeks ago But you can totally use that charm for other purposes. I saw someone on the DIY board put a picture (which is the original purpose of the charm) of her grandfather in it. You could consider doing that with his mom's picture and either putting it on your bouquet or having him keep it near his heart in the pocket on his jacket. This is the one I used (Found it at Michaels)



You can also do the memorial candle table. I have seen some brides do luminary candles with a person's picture on them.

i had a charm with my grandmothers' pictures in in hanging from my bouquet. we also offered our Mass to my grandmothers and his cousin. It was in the program and the priest prayed for them during the Mass - if you're not having a Masss, you can have your minister just mention her in the ceremony.
