How to include past loved ones into your wedding

Roberta Thompson • December 2, 2018
Your wedding is going to be one of the best days of your life (obviously)! On the day, celebrate and enjoy time with your closest family and friends! If you are thinking of ways to honour a deceased loved one during the day, check out the suggestions below;

 

1. Add a photo or loved ones ring to your bouquet. You carry your bouquet around you most of the day and so you will always feel close to them <3

2. Add a photo or two next to your flowers or by candle light. How about a photo at either side of your cake.
3. Raise a drink and remember fond memories.
4. Attach a photo charm to your shoe! Or how about a photo in your cuff links.

Whether it is singing waiters, or just handing out some lyrics and having a good old sing-song / dance before your meal, I really do believe music can absolutely make a wedding - AND produce some bloody amazing photos at the same time (Keep me busy) !!!! Here you can see a few photos from Amy and Pauls wedding day at Scarborough Spa wedding venue - just look at the fun and energy! I would also like to point out that Groom Paul booked this singing waiter (Jack Ollett) and so bride Amy had absolutely no idea what was happening! The look on her face was priceless! Especially at the end when Jack sang Amy's absolute fave song! :) They also had the biggest conga line I have ever seen and it was just so much fun! (As you can see).

The 10x10" album is our most popular choice of album I provide. For those who prefer something larger, I also offer a 12x12" album. If you're looking for something compact, ideal for a coffee table or as a gift for family, the 8x8" album is a great option. Each album includes 30 pages, showcasing 80 images of your choice. (If you'd like to add more memories, extra spreads can be added for just £15 per spread). All albums feature a custom acrylic cover with a photo of your choice, and I will personally design the layout to perfectly reflect your day. The process is simple and straightforward—the only challenge will be narrowing down your favorite images!!! 12x12" 30 page album - £600 10x10" 30 page album - £450 8x8" 30 page album - £295 Duplicate copy "parent albums" can be added on for half the price of your first album.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! 🎉 Planning a small, intimate celebration is such a wonderful journey. Here are a few tips to help you get started: Define Your Vision: Sit down with your partner and discuss your vision for the day. Whether it's a cozy backgarden marquee wedding or an intimate venue, having a clear vision will guide your decisions. Choose a Venue: Look for venues that suit your guest count. Small guest lists open up unique possibilities, such as intimate restaurants, gardens, or boutique venues. Budget Planning: Having a smaller guest list offers flexibility with your budget. Direct your funds toward elements that hold the utmost importance for you. Consider prioritising professional photography or videography; these tangible memories are the lasting treasures from your special day. Time of Year, and Vendor Selection: A smaller wedding may allow for quicker planning. Choose a season that resonates with your vision, and swiftly connect with essential vendors to secure your preferred date. Ensure they have availability and explore suppliers whose offerings align seamlessly with your unique day. The intimate setting creates an opportunity to curate an experience that feels uniquely yours. Venue Location: Top tip: I have photographed a lot of small weddings that have decided to carve a little time into their day to visit a close-by location that holds sentimental value. This could add a unique and intimate touch to your memories. (See photo below).
