“We know you would be here today if heaven wasn’t so far away.”

On a wedding day, the absence of someone who would’ve loved to be there reminds you of their legacy. It can be truly beautiful to incorporate them into your special day as a tribute to how they touched your life.

1. Display photos on the first row of the ceremony seating

Keeping their picture on an empty seat at the ceremony is a beautiful way to remember them.

2. Add an heirloom to your bouquet or dress

3. Include their favorite flower in your bouquet or Carry a picture with you at all time

4. Play Music that was Significant to the Deceased

For my own wedding, as guests got seated before the ceremony, our violinist played my deceased grandfather’s favorite song. It was a song that was sang at his funeral. This detail was not missed by my extended family.

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming! But I gotchu 😉 After going to so many events as a photographer, I’ve got plenty of recommendations and experience with everything wedding-related. Click here to learn more about the Caili Chung Photography Wedding Experience <3
