- The first thing that came to me was to have a chair at the ceremony with a white rose on it. It's unobtrusive and a way to honor her by giving her a place at my ceremony. The only downfall with this option is that you'd have to explain it somehow. So, if you're going to forgo programs, this may be a bit difficult unless you want it to be a private thing.
- Speaking of programs, like I said in my Guest List post- you can honor them and people that weren't able to come by saying, "I'd like to honor those that couldn't be here today...."
- You can use something of theirs and work it into either your wedding outfit or as a centerpiece on the sweetheart table or you can weave it into your bouquet (not your tossing one, though!) or in some other way.
- Set up a small table at the reception with pictures or flowers or both.
- You can light a memorial candle with a sign in front or their name engraved on it.
- You can play their favorite song and dance with their daughter, son, husband, wife, everyone, whoever
- Instead of favors, you can donate to a cause close to their heart or if they died from a disease to that association (i.e American Cancer Association, Susan G. Komen, etc)
- I was speaking to a great groom-to-be Temple of the Groom and he had a great idea that I LOVE! After the reception is done, you can send biodegradable floating lanterns into the night sky. It can include a message or their name or a quote.
