We will be putting a small bouquet of white or blush roses on the first bench, with a small note. Similar to these:

I like the idea of having a small table with photos on it or reserving a chair to have a sign and photos on it. We could end up doing both: reserving a chair for the ceremony part and a small table at the reception.

This post has actually helped me with narrowing down how I will be doing mine. I showed my FH all of these to see what he liked and now it is between (although we may end up doing both) the small keychain of pictures on my bouquet and the tree with pictures strung up (if we do this one then we will have to make sure we have somewhere to put them if it rains or snows).

I like the poem idea but not just picture frames on a table, but I like the different size frames but then again people may think that we loved some more than others based on the size of their pictures.

Do you have a couple that you like? What does your FH say?

I would like to do something like this, even just for grandparents/aunts/uncles that are gone now. No idea how to execute though.

I would love to do this, it’s such a beautiful idea. I actually showed it to my mom, but she felt like it would be too touchy for some of the guests to see photos of their parents or their children. I love these though 😭

The wedding scrapbook has been started and the sign has been put in with the invitation section.

That looks so classy and really well done, thanks for sharing!

Oh I love the idea of being able to put it in the scrapbook!!

I don’t have our pictures back yet, but we just did ours on a table right outside/in front of the main hall.
We had our framed photos, with our confetti (gold hexagon shaped), and one of our centerpieces (a gold geometric vase with flowers in it)!

View quoted message Ohh I love this... I've been trying to think of something to include my dad. Might just steal this lol 😊

Im going fairly simple.
At the ceremony my 2 cousins (who are like my sisters) will light a candle or something in honor of my grandpa that raised me (its also their grandpa).
At reception. On table with guestbook. Just going to put photos in simple frames. And have a sign in a frame. The sign will match all our other wedding stationary (invites/seating chart/other signs)

This is my way of creating one so simple and a keepsake for wedding scrapbook project.

We absolutely are having one - we're sticking with our theme of beachy/tropical. The photo frames are all wood or worn white wash; we have a glass lantern with a blue candle in it, which will be on a base of sand with a few shells, and a memorial sign.

View quoted message For sure!!! Honestly everytime I think about the photos on my bouquet I tear up a little so I know I have to! I bought mini frames from Michael's but I've seen the idea at David's Bridal too!

Oh I love that idea! If I can do that I for sure will be stealing that as well as having the table at reception

I'm actually going the route of hanging small photographs of all our loved ones who have passed off my bouquet so they can join me down the aisle. My bouquet with their photographs will be on display in the hall after with a sign beside to show in loving memory

Love the top 2 ideas! Those are beautiful

I just went to my cousins wedding and they had it included on the table where their card box, guest book, and favours were. They did single picture frames of different sizes, had some raised and some table height with a little sign. It was very simple and beautiful.

For sure something that I will be doing. I have to figure out how we are setting up our reception space before I finalize what I want to do.

Ok, so that sounds more doable then the whole row.. do you think that since mine would be for my grandparents and my uncle that 2nd row would be ok? Or would that be disrespectful? If so then I would just stick to having a table at the entrance to the ceremony area.

My FH and I have decided to do a similar one as the photo. We will be having 2 empty chairs in the front row during our ceremony, wherein it will have the same sign and a bunch of flowers. This is in memory of my mom and my FH's step mom.

I love the idea of having a row of seats reserved for our family that have passed as well but at the same time I'm worried that as is there may not be enough room for everybody to sit during the ceremony so I think that we will have to have a little side table for that and then move it into the reception area.

We are! The venue actually have like an old door that can be used to hang photos on and a sign that mentions the loved ones that have passed. So we will use that. We will also have one set of pews in the front "reserved" for my fiance's grandparents that have passed.
