The brides details are everything, I need to find the perfect accessories and the create the look I have in my head!
Lately I have been surfing Pinterest and looking through a few magazines and decided that I want bold jewelry on my wedding day! My wedding dress is a simple sweetheart neckline (shocker) so I'm thinking the bigger the necklace, the better!

I also want to make everything fun and mean something on my big day, no fancy traditions or "but that's what you do." I want everything I wear and do to mean something to me or us and to have a purpose. I really want to wear or carry something that resembles my dad and him being by my side throughout the entire day!
I had a friend tell me about putting a heart from her father's old ties in her dress on her heart, I might have shed a tear when she told me but I love that idea.
Once again this Wedding Wednesday kind of turned into a "y'all help me plan my wedding" post! I need ideas, if any of y'all have lost a loved one and did something to honor them at your wedding what was it? Also if you come across any ideas or pictures of big bold necklaces, I wanna see them!! Send me the links!
I'm planning to leave a seat open beside my dad for my grandmother (his mom) who passed away about 6 years ago and when we pass "her seat" I'm going to stop and leave a rose in her favorite color on her chair. I'm also wrapping a ribbon with a ring of hers around my bouquet. And I love the idea of sewing the heart into your dress!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea mentioned above of leaving a seat open for your Dad! How special!! Also, I think the heart in your dress is really sweet. We need to look at the Mart for a necklace for you when you come back in July!!! <3
ReplyDeleteI wore a larger than most necklace and think it was the best decision! nothing worse than a naked neck! I carried a hankie of my grandmothers around my flowers, it was a memory of her and a something old
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing, cut a heart from my moms blue bathing suit as my something blue and was sewn into my dress
ReplyDeleteI love the statement necklace idea!!! and I'm sure you'll think of the perfect way to honor your Dad on your special day!
ReplyDeleteI love all of the ideas especially leaving the open seat! I know someone who lit a candle at the beginning of the ceremony with his mom in honor of his dad and the lit candle symbolized his dad being there in spirit throughout the ceremony! I thought it was so cute and such a great way to recognize him! I'm sure anything you do will be a great way to honor your dad on your big day! xo,
ReplyDeleteMy best friend's father passed away unexpectedly a few months before her wedding and she also sewed a blue heart from one of her father's shirts into her dress for her "something blue." She also had a locket with a picture of her and her father strapped to her bouquet! It was really sweet and made her feel like he was with her :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! Will definitely be keeping up :) Starting to plan my wedding now!
