Ideas for how to honor family members who’ve passed?

I bought a lapel pin for my fiancé that’s about quarter sized with a photo of his grandpa. We will also have a photo of said grandpa with his grandchildren and the “we know you’d be here if heaven wasn’t so far away” sign next to it. Some people light candles but our venue doesn’t allow open flames.

All of my grandparents have passed (my grandfathers were when I was very young) and my grandmothers were both in the last 5 years. I am using a broach from each of my grandmothers that is going to be attached to my bouquet so a little part of them will be walking down the aisle with me. It isn’t something everyone else will really see, but it’s more for me to know they are there.

Oh I also have wedding photos of our parents and grandparents that will be displayed with one of our engagement photos to honor them as well.

We're doing a lantern release in honor of FH father that passed.

My fh is walking down the aisle with his aunt carrying a picture of his mom.

For us both of our grandfathers passed so we're going to set a table up at the venue with pretty picture frames and I will be getting a charm for my bouquet for my grandfather.

When my brother planned his wedding, he and his bride chose to display photographs of each other’s family members who had passed. What I thought was touching is that they showcased those individuals’ wedding photos. My grandfather, who was still living at the time, saw the photo from his wedding and immediately swelled up in happy tears and openly spoke about a time he and my grandmother cherished so much.

I'm thinking of having a lantern with some sort of quote decal on it with a candle in it.

I also want to honor a few of our relatives who have passed. my plan is to gather a few photos and during our ceremony leave an empty seat with the photos and a sign. my grandmother, and aunt, and FH's 2 grandfathers, and god father.

My FH lost his brother last year, and we are considering ways to honor him.
Great ideas ladies.

We are going to get this from Esty. Link: Memorial Sign

I wanted something specific to honor my grandmother who I lost 3 years ago. But I know there are people on FH's side his family has lost (his dad's brother for example) and I didn't want anyone to be excluded or for anyone to feel like their side isn't equally important. It has LED candles so no worry of them going out midway through the evening.

I had a brooch bouquet made that a lot of family members from both sides gave me pieces to use from parents, grandparents, great grandparents etc. We will also have a small memorial set up in the room where the ceremony is being held since there is a mantel.

Were going to have a shelf in our venue decorated with pictures of our passed grandparents. We both have pictures of them at weddings so we’ll be using those! I also like the idea of saving a seat in the honor of passed loved ones.

My brother and his wife had photographs of the grandparents/relatives who passed on a table near the gifts with a note about why those photos were there. The table faced the dance floor so it was like everyone was celebrating, but it was not in your face and a sweet way to honor them!

H didn't want anything visible to the guests. He had a last minute thought of using a pair of his grandfathers cufflinks but his brother had taken them with him when he moved. I would have made him a lapel pin or tie clip but I didnt want to upset him somehow with that.
I made bouquet charms with a photo of my grandparents and one of my aunt.

Pic didnt post but here we go

Both of my grandparents have passed, and my aunt and my FH has one grandpa and one grandma who have passed. I have a fake tree, like an old money tree, that my grandparents received for their 50th wedding anniversary we are going to clip all their pictures to it and put a sign next to it that says "If I had one wish, it would be that you didn't have to miss this. You should be here" We are also going to leave a chair empty at the ceremony with a little sign that says "I'm in heaven for your wedding, so what shall I do? I'll come down to Earth to spend it with you. So save me a seat, just one comfy chair you may not see me, but I will be there"

My sister passed away recently so this is what I'm doing for her. I like the pictures with the cuff links but I'm sure you can get something like this to put near the boutonniere or I have seen ties that have pictures on the back.

We are doing a couple things to honor those who have passed.

1st I will have charms on my bouquet with their pictures

2nd We are having a memory table with pictures of those for all of our guests to look at.

3rd We will be having our DJ play "One More Day" by Diamond Rio in their memory that guests will dance to.

I am doing a memorial table for my grandparents and my FH's grandparents. We will have pictures of them on the table and a candle lit in honor or each of them. This is the sign I made for the table!
