Weddings are an emotional day – after months of planning, you’re finally getting to say ‘I Do’ to the love of your life in front of all your family and friends. It can also be emotional for another reason – for a lot of people, while it’s a happy occasion, they may be missing someone special like a parent, grandparent or relative. However, there are lots of little ways to remember a lost loved one so they still feel like a part of your day from lighting a candle in their honour to having a bit of a toast.
There’s also some very sweet and sentimental wedding ideas that will give you all the feels, that aren’t tinged with sadness. We love the idea of making a fuss out of parents with a sweet gift or including pics of your family members on their own wedding day! Check out some more touching sentimental wedding ideas we love below…
