Your wedding day is a wonderful opportunity to think about lost loved ones. There are lots of special ways that you can incorporate them into your Big Day, by displaying photos, lighting a candle or doing something more subtle and sentimental.
A designated chair
A sweet way to remind yourself, and everybody present, that your loved ones are with you no matter what is to reserve a seat for them. Place a photo on a chair, a ‘reserved’ sign or an item of theirs.
