How do you honor the memory of a beloved parent at your wedding?
This is the question one J’Adorn bride brought to me earlier this year.

Michelle wanted to honor the memory of her father, whom she’d recently lost while she was planning her wedding.

I had the idea to create a photo frame pendant for her bouquet to hold a picture of her dad during her walk down the aisle.
She loved the idea! So I presented her with a few different frame pendant design options to choose from. Michelle chose a frame pendant that had an antiqued silver color with black rhinestone accents. She loved the vintage look and it made the perfect accent to her bridal bouquet!
Next, Michelle sent me her favorite photo of her father electronically. I had the picture printed professionally on the best paper available, then cut the print by hand to fit the frame pendant.

Because Michelle carries her father’s memory with her every day, I wanted to make sure this memorial frame pendant would be something she could wear after her wedding day.
So, I provided a necklace chain for the frame pendant so she could wear it with other outfits long after her walk down the aisle.

Michelle told me that she loved the final design of her memorial piece!
She was thrilled to be able to have her father “walk her down the aisle” even though he couldn’t be physically present on her wedding day.
And she looks forward to wearing the frame pendant necklace in the future to carry her father’s memory closely at all times.
