As our wedding gets closer and closer, it has really been hitting me how much I wish my mom and grandma could be there. It was really important to me to find a way to keep their spirit near and dear to me on the day of the wedding, so what did I do? I turned to etsy, of course.
I'm going to buy a memorial photo charm to attach to my bouquet.
I'm not 100% sure if I will get a double sided photo charm or just get two separate ones, but I plan to have one for my grandma and also my mom to keep them with me that day.
I also really wanted to do something for my fiance since he lost his grandpa that he was extremely close to a few years back. I'm going to have his grandpa's picture put in one of these charms and I'm going to ask the people at the tuxedo rental place to pin it in his jacket so his grandpa will be close to his heart. I really hope I can keep this part a secret until the wedding day. I have a huge problem with spilling beans.. haha. But don't worry.. he never reads my blog!
What are some ways you plan on remembering those who can't be there on your wedding day?
My grammy won't be there and I'm going to take a charm (or two) off her charm braclet and pin it onto my flowers, plus we're using some of her things in our vintage wedding.
ReplyDeleteThese are such great ideas! We honestly don't have any ideas as of yet, except for having N's best friend (who passed in 2008) favourite song for our slideshow. But we still have time, so I'm not too worried.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice idea!
