Wedding Reception Idea - Creative Ways to Honor Relatives

Posted Monday, November 23, 2009 5:49 PM

This bride's grandmother, who had recently passed away, used to own a candy store, so, to pay homage to her, the couple set up a candy bar called "Nana's Candy Shop" with a photo and a write-up about her. Yes, the candy shop translated easily to a reception detail, but you really can nod to almost any profession!

I just wanted to clarify that the bride, Jen Lorrain and her mom/amazing floral designer, Linda Lorrain created the concept and look of the table. It was so memorable and touching and the guests just loved it!
