Memorial ideas

If you want to honour the grandparents and your mom, set the pictues on a seperate table with an enclosed candle votive. Light the candle as you enter to make them part of your day. Saw it done on a wedding video.

I think having pictures of them at your table would be a nice subtle way to include them.

I'm keeping my inclusion of my father a little subtle, because I know his death still hurts for a number of my family members. I'm getting the photographer to get a shot of me looking at a framed picture of him prior to leaving for the venue, most of the music played in the background as ppl are coming in will be intrumental versions of his favourites, and I think I'll be heading off to the graveyard quickly on my own after I change to put a rose from my bouquet on his grave.
So far that's it for me. Just enough to make him a presence throughout the day.

I think a poem/reading during the ceremony can be great. I've also seen some people reserve seats, have framed pictures (Either in a small table or on the seats), have a lit candle somewhere for those missing.

Charms on the bouquet can be a great idea, or wearing jewellery that belonged to someone.

We're doing a table in the entry way with some photos of important people who can't be with us, along with a candle for them. My FH is wearing his grandfather's watch. My FH's grandfather worked for coke for like 50 years... so I've secretly ordered some vintage glass bottle coke bottles that will have a personalized label (One Says Mrs OURLASTNAME and the other says Mr OURLASTNAME).

Sorry that was suppose to say I found a poem about lost ones not being there and we're going to have it read during the ceremony

I was going to put my mom's picture beside my Dad's chair with a flower on it and a bow and I found a home not I'm going to have it read during the ceremony I just lost my mom so I need to feel like she's there

My friend had a frame with pictures of their grandparents, with their names beside it.

I'm going to be adding a flower in my bouquet for both my grandmothers.

That a really sweet way to honour your mom! All of my grandparents are deceased and my FH’s grandpa is too. We were thinking of doing something like this. I was thinking of doing wedding photos of my grandparents if I can find them.
