wedding memorial bouquet alternative wedding ideas from Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride)

Thanks to Tara for sharing this photo with us. This photo along with her description is a really great example of several ways to memorialize a lost loved one at your wedding…

“This is my Brian bouquet. Brian (one of my best friends) passed away last December. If anyone were to walk me down the aisle it would have been him. I put his picture in my bouquet and I know he was with us in spirit. We also said a prayer for him at the begining of the night and played Take On Me (one of his favorite songs) at the reception. It was a great way to remember and celebrate him during our wedding. “

Beautiful memorial ideas Tara! Thank you so much for sharing them with us and I hope that it gives some of you who've lost someone close to you some ideas on how to still include them in your wedding.
