Any advice would be good!

Im sorry to hear that...

My Nan passed away 12 year ago yesterday and I gave up smoking yesterday too so I have, inadvertantly, done it for her..

Anyway back on track... Could you possibly get photos of them in nice frames and put them on the top table somewhere or some other place where they can be remembered?

Ahh sorry to hear that! You can get little frames to attach to your bouquet that you could put a photo of them in

Both my grandmothers died before I got engaged, one two years ago, the other when I was 17. I lost one grandad when i was 7 so I will only have one grandad with us in August. none of OH's grandparents are alive either.

i've been trying to think of something as well but at the moment, I am having yellow roses as my main flowers because both my grandads used to send them to my grandmas and so they have always been remembered to us by yellow roses.

i have a tattoo at the top of my back of two yellow roses with a purple ribbon as well.

Sorry for your recent loss but i'm glad he saw a picture of you in your dress

I only really knew my mum's mum, all my other grandparents died either before i was born or when i was very young so i'll only be having something of her there so i'm having her BEM medal attached to my bouquet.

I think any small gesture would mean alot, even something as simple as having his hanky with you.

You could have a tiny photo frame Charm like this added:

Or another idea is to have a table with pics of them on like this that I did for one of my Brides:

You can get little Frame Charms like these. You;ll be able to get them cheaper than Amazon though, have a google. It could be attached to your bouquet or sewn into the inside of your dress so that they are close to you on your big day.

We are going to have framed photos of our family members who are no longer with us in black and white on a small table.. Along with framed pics of each of our cats who will at home but still very special to us (Sad hey!).

Hi

thanks for all your advice and help! I do like the little photo frame idea, what happens when you throw your bouquet at the end of the night? Do you take them off before?

Bridebrat - Not sad about having pics of your cats!! My cat is my baby and i'd love to have him at our wedding!!!

They are tied on with ribbon so you can just untie them to keep afterwards.

This has affected a number of Weddings I've covered...

On the first Wedding the bride had a small picture of her father "wrapped" in the ribbons holding her bouquet together... Thus throughout her day she was holding him close...

On the second, I had the honour of helping the Bride & Groom "recreate" a photograph of her Grand Parents cutting their cake (which they'd carried with them on their day). I posed the B&G in exactly the same postion and took the photo from the same angle, then in photoshop I added the same "damages" to the shot (crumpled edges & creases). She obviously holds the photo very dear to this day...

My advice, FWIW, is to do whatever feels right in your heart...
