To me, weddings are all about love and family. Ideally, your wedding day is spent surrounded by those you love and who love you, whether they are family by blood or by choice. Too often, some of our loved ones have been lost before our wedding days arrive. Here are some ideas in which you can appropriately honor and remember loved ones who are with you in spirit, but not in body.
Grandma's Jewelry. Wear a brooch from a grandma, aunt, or another special lady on your gown, in your hair; or use it to decorate your bouquet. I hung a small locket that had once belonged to my great-grandmother from my garter on my wedding day.
Vintage Photos. Frame wedding or other photos of generations past for your guest book table.
Candy Jars or Other Containers. Did anyone in your family collect milkglass vases, flower figurines, or perhaps John Deere memorabilia? If it is something you and your groom also enjoy, how about using those containers for your candy buffet. A great stylist or planner can make even Grandpa's tractor collection look like vintage glam in a rustic reception setting like a barn or rustic setting.
These are just a few ideas to get you thinking; we'd love to brainstorm with you about more!
