As our brides walk down the aisle carrying a bouquet of amazing florals they are often choosing to add very sentimental touches as well, rosaries, medals, heirloom broaches, fabric from a mother’s wedding veil, a locket with loved ones portrait…all personal touches that add to the sentiment of their special day. Just something we love!

Wedding Trends, Fallen Soldier Table, CT Wedding Photography, New York & Connecticut Wedding Photographer
We wanted to take a minute to note a re-emerging wedding trend we have seen lately with our couples that we just love: including sentimental touches to their wedding day that bring a sense of past generations. A lot of our couples have found a way to pay tribute on their wedding day to those before them, some still present and many who are not, that ultimately lead to where they stood today. This last year we have seen Fallen Soldier Tables (a way of honoring service members who have fallen in the line of duty), Memory tables ( photographs displayed to pay tribute to deceased loved ones at the weddings) as well as brides and grooms wearing a piece of jewelery of clothing that has specific sentimental importance.
We are proud to photograph quite a few Military weddings, for those that would like to know more about honoring those lost fighting for our country:
How to Prepare a Fallen Soldier Table
A sad part of military etiquette is honoring service members who have fallen in the line of duty. Remembering them honors their sacrifice and that of their families. It also underscores the importance of the commitment to duty made by the living. At military balls, weddings, reunions and other formal occasions, one beautiful, thoughtful way to honor those who have died is a Fallen Soldier Table. Each element on the table symbolizes something specific.-
- 1 Place a small table in the hall or dining room, where guests can see it but where it will not be in the way. You might place it in a corner to the side of the head table, for instance, or to the side of the entrance door.
- 2 Spread the white tablecloth on the table, making sure that it is straight and symmetrical.
- 3 Set one place, with a clean, white place mat, plate, bread plate, cloth napkin and utensils. This setting represents your wish that the fallen men and women of the armed forces could be present at the happy occasion with you.
- 4 Insert a white taper candle into a simple candle holder and place it to one side of the center of the table, beyond the place setting. The candle represents the light of hope.
- 5 Place a long-stemmed rose into a simple bud vase and place it to the other side of the center of the table from the candle. The rose represents the families who love and keep faith with the men and women who serve.
- 6 Tie a ribbon into a bow on the vase. A yellow ribbon traditionally represents loyally waiting for those who are serving away from home, while a red ribbon symbolizes the memory of and search for those missing in action.
- 7 Invert the wine glass or champagne flute, and place it upside-down to the right of the plate. This represents the fact that the fallen comrade will not be able to participate in the happy toasts at this event.
- 8 Place a lemon wedge on the bread plate. It represents the bitter loss of the life of the fallen soldier.
- 9 Sprinkle salt over the lemon and the bread plate. The salt represents tears.
- 10 Place an empty chair at the table in front of the place setting. This represents the missing comrade.
