Let’s talk about wedding day memorials
Sometimes weddings can be a painful reminder of the absence of loved ones. Weddings can also be a great way to memorialize your loved ones as well, with some of these beautiful, and tear-jerking ideas.
Memorialize a loved one after your wedding: leave your wedding bouquet at their grave
We recently saw this poignant moment from Amanda W., who found a way to bridge the joy of her wedding day with the love she still carries for those who couldn’t be there. Instead of a traditional toss, she took her bouquet to the grave of her grandmother, who had passed away just months before the wedding.
Moving forward with wedding planning after losing a parent
After experiencing an amazingly beautiful moment when my dearest asked me to be his wife, I am now trying to cope with the unexpected loss of my mom, and the deep need to move forward with my wedding. The question I have been asked constantly since the passing of my mom has been, “are you still getting married this year?” My answer has been emphatically “yes.”
A spiral aisle wedding where the bride had her mother’s ashes in her bouquet
Remember the spiral aisle that we featured? Here they are, along with tons of paper flowers (that look super real), a Banksy guest book, a secret handshake at the end of the ceremony, and of course, their completely awesome way to fix the problem of a lopsided guest list. Oh, and wait until you see the reception skits that included cardboard box masks with giant eyelashes!
