What are some upbeat ways I can remember deceased relatives and friends on my wedding day?
It’s a touching idea to find a way to honor those you have loved. Here’s how: You can pay tribute to them in your wedding program by either inserting a small paragraph about them or including their photograph. You could also decide to choose a favorite poem or reading of the deceased; print it in the program and have it read at the ceremony.
Other options are to use your loved one’s favorite color throughout your day or fill your bouquet with flowers that remind you of him or her. If you’re planning to display some photographs at the reception, add a few favorites of you with the deceased to the collage.
And finally, there’s no sweeter way to remember someone than with desserts. You can use her treasured recipe for the wedding cake or serve one of her famous or all-time favorite desserts in addition to the wedding cake. If you go with a sweet treat, be sure to print the person’s name next to the dessert on the menu cards.
