Here are the top 5 ways of acknowledging a deceased family member.

1.  Have the officiate mention them at the ceremony.

2.  Have an “In Memory Of” section in your program.  This can include a       picture, poem or just names listed.

3.  Set up a small table with pictures and candles for guest to visit.

                                        4.  Leave a rose or significant flower in the spot where the deceased family   member would have sat.

5.  Tie a charm or flower significant to the deceased in your bridal bouquet.

I saw a beautiful bridal bouquet recently that the bride had an antique monogrammed hankie from her grandmother that was wrapped around the handle of her bouquet.  It was a beautiful way to make her grandmother a part of her special day.
