wedding memorial ideas

Some of us choose to use our wedding days as a way to honor loved ones who have passed away. We’ve featured many touching, unique wedding day memorials over the years including wedding memorial tables with candles, signs, poems, and ceremony wording.

Ashley & Josh’s home-brewed prison wedding with a rap video

This bride goes gaga for DIY projects, and the biggest problem was reining them in! One of the best projects was the bride’s rap video gift to the groom. You have to see it to believe it. Other killer details included the dance into the ceremony, the abundant coffee filter flowers, and the cutie-pie vows worth stealing. But be warned: good luck getting through their favorite moment. Tissues will be required.

Jodi & Kim’s glow sticks and bling wedding

This wedding has an official “flower disbursement” and “ring security agents.” Basically, they mean business. On top of that, a dog walked down the aisle, a fish was memorialized, and glow sticks featured prominently in the unity ceremony. I think we’re in for some fun. Oh, and you have to read about the jaw-dropping encounter with their first videographer. It was NUTS.

Honor your departed loved ones by saving them a seat

There are lots of ways to memorialize lost friends and family at weddings, but this is one of my favorites. Alison and Jeremy saved a seat at the ceremony to honor their family and friends who have passed.

Beth & Patrick’s homemade English wedding

Smooching in front of the Rolls Royce, wedding cheesecake, a cheeky flower girl, and a hand-made gown of awesome are just a few of the personal touches on this grand English wedding. You’re going to flip when you see the venue, the purple shoes, and of course, the loving looks…

Your wedding jewelry can be a memorial keepsake

This necklace actually has a piece of lace from a wedding dress embedded inside resin. The best part is that you could have a piece of your own dress as a keepsake, a piece of someone else’s dress (mom’s, grandma’s, etc.) to wear AT the wedding, or make a few and pass them out as bridesmaids’ or mother-of-the-bride gifts. This got me thinking: what other wedding jewelry could serve as a memorial? Let’s check out what we found.

Kim & Doug’s artsy food truck wedding

One look at this pair’s food truck menu and you’ll be converted to the dark (and delicious) side: a street food wedding! The gourmet sliders and fries were served in front of a chic gallery that played host to the ceremony and reception. They stayed within budget with a few sneaky cost-savers, and you’ll love the bride’s favorite moments with her dad!
