Your wedding is obviously going to be one of the happiest days of your life, but for those who have lost loved ones who would have been by their side, it can be tinged with some sadness. You can’t help how you’ll feel on the day but a wonderful way to celebrate and remember people who have passed is to honour them in a visual way (or of course in a reading or speech) to help family and friends take a moment and reflect. There are so many beautiful ways of doing this, whether it’s with a photo table, some charity favours or more intricate way like a photo or note embroidered on a dress, and finding the perfect way to honour your loved ones – however you choose to do it – will help you to really enjoy your day.
