Honoring the Mothers of the Bride and Groom on Your Wedding Day

Mother and bride

As the excitement builds for an approaching Wedding Day, it’s important to reflect and take some time to recognize the important people who have been with you from the beginning. This Mother’s day we wanted to compile a list of unique ideas to honor Moms on the big day that their son or daughter is getting married. A wedding day goes by quickly but with a little inspiration and creativity from Lola Valentina, you are sure to make the most of each moment and cherish the memories for years to come.

A small but impactful way is to surprise your mother with a small gift as a memento of this big milestone and cherish all the milestones along the way that have gotten you here. Ideas for a small gift could be a personalized piece of jewelry or a picture frame to later be filled with a snapshot of the big day. Sometimes the smallest gifts make the biggest impact and we guarantee this idea will be a special

The Father-daughter dance is a staple of most wedding receptions and we are seeing more Mother-son dances following. A unique twist would be to arrange a surprise for a mother -daughter dance during the reception. Choose a song that holds sentimental value and create a beautiful moment to share in front of all friends and loved ones.

You can never go wrong with a hand-written note or a beautiful card to give to your mother on your wedding day. This is the perfect way to share heartfelt anecdotes, express gratitude, and highlight her role in your life. Include pictures for an extra sentimental, meaningful touch. This would be the perfect take away to remember the special day with.

Instead of a physical gift another great idea could be to plan a special pre-wedding activity for just you and your mom. This could be a spa day, a shopping trip for wedding accessories, or simply a quiet brunch together where they can bond and relax before the busy day ahead.

A memory table would be a great way to honor family members of both the bride and groom. Set up a table at either the rehearsal dinner for people to look at or as a special table at the wedding reception. Ideas for this table could include special photos of parents and grandparents weddings, small family heirlooms, or even creating a display of wedding dresses or veils from the mothers and grandmothers of the bride and groom. Including a beautiful table linen for this memory table would take it to the next level. We recommend a patterned table linen such as the Malachite Annie Pattern for an heirloom aesthetic, the Floral Garden Pattern in any color to coordinate with your wedding style, or the English Garden for a maximalist look. Including special ways to honor loved ones will make the day feel extra special for everyone attending.
