I have been thinking about this topic for a long time. I absolutly love the idea!! I did not want it to be morbid or anything and in all honesty it really is for me and her. I just want to feel like they are with us on that day. A small picture in my Sporran or hanging from my belt will be perfect. I'm wearing a kilt so a small silver frame hanging will not look out of place at all.

Fantastic idea…wish I had seen this when I got married 6 months ago. I pinned a cameo charm that was my grandmother's and my husband's father's wedding band on my bouquet in memory of them. We got married…alone…in Key West. Our family knew we had these mementos with us so it was very special for everyone.
I'm going to make one of these for my future-sister-in law…one of her sister who passed three years ago.

I used this idea at my wedding & everyone loved it. My mom didnt know I was doing anything to remember my dad & other family members, she really loved it..

I know this is an old post but I wanted to add how I saw this done.
The bride and groom had a lot of people they wanted to honor so the set up a small table and found two pewter trees with 8 picture frames hanging on each at a craft store on clearance for 5 bucks each.

they filled each with a photo of people they wish could have been there and put a poem near the trees. Guests got to check it out as they wanted and it eliminated the everyone's dead moment of their happy day.

I think this is a great idea, i wanted to find a way to incorporate putting a memorial of my father without making everyone get upset. My father passed away this past fathers day and my wedding will be 2 weeks before the year marker of when he passed. Its still sore but i wanted to feel like he is there like he should be.

I'm going to release butterflies at the end of the ceremony as a memorial to my sister who was supposed to be my maid-of-honor.

This is awesome, I always thought it was a little uncomfortable talking about death at a wedding, But I absolutely love this idea I am going to take photos and frame it for the wives and mothers of the dearly departed. Thanks soooo much!

[...] did run across a post on OffBeatBride that mentioned using picture frame charms tied to the bride's bouquet. I really liked this [...]
