Weddings are not only meant to be shared with loved ones who are still alive today. In fact, you can honor even some deceased loved ones on your special day. That way, you can still feel their love as you walk down the aisle and celebrate your union with the person with whom you are going to spend the rest of your life.

Now here are some tips on how you can honor your departed loved ones at your wedding:

Attach their photos to your bouquet

Feel their presence while walking down the aisle by attaching their photos in tiny cases to the handle of your bouquet.
