Honoring the deceased at your wedding


When a parent or other close relative has passed away recently, it's important to find an appropriate way to remember them without ruining the joyous tone of the wedding. After all, a wedding is a celebration, and while a missing parent/relative is certainly sad, it shouldn't overpower the wedding day. Some ways to remember a parent/relative:
  1. Set up a special small table at the wedding reception with a flower arrangement and a card saying “In memory of those loved ones who are not with us today” or more specifically, “In memory of Martina Jensen, mother of the bride.” You could also put a picture of the bride or groom with the deceased person you are honoring.
  1. At the wedding reception, display wedding pictures of family members, or pictures of loved ones with the bride/groom. This is a more subtle way of including the dead in your day.

  2. Wear a piece of jewelry or article of clothing. (For example your mother’s wedding dress, your father’s cuff links, or your grandfather’s signet ring).

  3. Carry the same flowers that your mother had in her bouquet.

  4. At the end of the wedding program, it is appropriate to add a memoriam line. For example, you might write “Today we honor those who could not be with us, especially the bride’s stepmother Alison Janet Brooks.”

  5. If the person who is conducting the ceremony is someone who knew the deceased relative, it might be appropriate for him/her to say something during the ceremony - particularly if they are saying a homily or other sermon-like speech. They might say "Today, we have come together to celebrate the love of these two people and the life they are building together. As many of you know, the groom's father recently passed away. And in times like these, it can be more important than ever to honor love and family. I know (groom's father) was so happy to see (groom) find the love he has with (bride). Although it would be easy for his recent death to make this a sad occasion, (Groom's father) would want to see you all so happy today,celebrating and full of joy. So today, let's remember how precious life is, and be thankful that (bride and groom) are creating a new family together."

    Weddings.about.com readers had some great ideas about how to honor a dead parent. Here are some of their ideas:

    Barbara says "My father died about 8 months before my wedding, so he couldn’t walk me up the aisle. I walked up alone, and carried one of his silk handkerchiefs - boy did I need it!"

    Max suggested the bride dance with her mother for the father-daughter dance, to her late-father's favorite song.

    Joan says "My older brother will stand in for my dad who died 2 years ago.We will play a special song by Heartland “I loved her first” I am getting married Dec. 23, 06 to my best friend."

    Robin suggests leaving empty chairs for favorite deceased relatives at the wedding ceremony.

    Melissa had lots of great suggestions: 1)placing photo charms of loved ones in the bride's bouquet. 2)lighting candles during the wedding ceremony for each of the deceased relatives. 3)a son standing in for his grandfather in walking the bride down the aisle and during the traditional father-daughter dance.

    At her wedding, Ria set a table with a photograph of her deceased parents, a button holer, a corsage and two candles. The following day she placed her head table's floral arrangement on their graves, along with a wedding photo.

    Shelby plans to honor her beloved grandfather by displaying his WWII flag at her wedding.

    Cyndy plans to incorporate her father's wedding ring into her bouquet.

    Kristin will honor her father, who coached her soccer team, by wearing shinguards under her wedding dress!

Italian inspired wedding

After spending 2 weeks in Italy,
Your Perfect Day has been inspired to create
the perfect Italian wedding
even if you can't get to Italy to do it.


An outdoor ceremony by an old historic building
or at a local winery will help
to give the wedding an Italian feel.



The bride can wear a lace gown in honor of Florence,
who is known for their lace.


Flowers are to be kept simple & elegant.


The reception site should be an old square or winery.


Table numbers or name cards can be paired with wine corks.


Table decor can be elegant flowers
that are set up in a unique way.


Olive oil bottles are the best favor for your guests
to take home a famous Italian flavor.

5 ways to personalize your wedding

Set Your Reception Seats Apart

To be sure the newlyweds' chairs stand out from the rest. Decorate them with real flowers and vines or with covers embroidered with the couple's initials.


Get More Impact from Escort and Table Cards

Table numbers need not be standard-issue when you can "really wow guests as they enter." Put table numbers in snow globes for winter wedding. For a well-read couples, you can look at used-book stores for vintage volumes of Shakespearean sonnets and tie an escort card to each.


Offer Your Guests a Fresh Taste of Your Culture

Cocktail hour is a great time to serve food inspired by your heritage. Guests, especially those unfamiliar with your traditions, have the opportunity to sample cuisines they may never have tried before.



Sip on Something Special

For a bride rarely seen without a lollipop in her hand , you can create the Vodka Jolly, a vodka-and-tonic garnished with a Jolly Rancher lollipop. It is a fun drink that celebrated her personal style. Sangria was the wedding beverage of choice for a couple who met at a bar. The woman was drinking sangria that night; the two met when her future groom asked what was in her glass.



Create a Connection

One way to involve your guests in your wedding day is to ask each guest to hold a smooth stone during the wedding, make a wish for them, and then place the stone into a communal vessel. The newlyweds can incorporate the stones into their garden to remind them of those who shared their day.
