Loving You Always

Since Bridesmaid S has passed I have been on a mad hunt to try to find ways to continue to include her in the planning process and the wedding itself.

I know for sure that on my bouquet I will have lockets with pictures of my loved ones who have passed, 4 in all including my grandmothers, uncle and cousin. I came across a great seller on where else but Etsy! DIY Charm Kits


What a cute idea, and how easy would it be for you to incorporate your own pictures or memories, instead of using the provided images!

Another one of my ideas, that I've been going back and forth on, is to have one of our groomsmen carry down Bridesmaid S's bouquet, which will include some of her favorite flower, calla lilies. The groomsman will carry down her bouquet and hand it to her sister, Bridesmaid K. Stupid idea? or cool idea?

We'll also ask our Reverend to ask our guests for a moment of silence before the start of the ceremony and include a section in our programs to honor our loved ones.

Did you include any ways to honor a loved one in your ceremony or reception? Any ideas to help a girl out? :)
