One of the most popular ways to honour loved ones is by creating a wedding memory table.
A memory table is usually a small display set up at the reception and can include:
photographs
candles
flowers
meaningful keepsakes
Some couples also include a small memorial decoration or remembrance piece to symbolise the place that loved one still holds in their hearts.
Reserve a Seat in Their Memory
Another touching way to remember someone is by reserving a seat during the wedding ceremony.
This can be done by placing a small sign or keepsake on a chair with wording such as:
“Reserved for someone special watching from heaven.”
It is a simple but meaningful way to honour someone who cannot be there in person.
Light a Candle in Their Memory
Lighting a candle is another beautiful tribute.
Some couples include a candle as part of their wedding ceremony or memory table with a message such as:
“This candle burns in loving memory of those who are forever in our hearts.”
A Meaningful Tribute
Your wedding day is about celebrating love, family and the people who have shaped your life.
