Answer 2

a special seat at the ceremony location, with a candle or a flower or both, to signify where she would have sat is a sweet symbolic touch, it lets everyone know she is there in spirit. Also you can make a slide show to play at the ceremony sight with heart warming memories of times spent with her.

Answer 3

I recently went to a wedding where they had a small table set up next to the place card table.  It had pillar candles on it and cards on them stating which family member they were dedicated to.   It was a nice way to mention though relatives who had passed.    

Answer 4

I went to a wedding where the bride's father had died of cancer. Instead of wedding favors, there was a card at each place setting with a note saying they had donated money to the american cancer society.

You can also put a nice framed picture with a candle somewhere at the reception.

Answer 5

I agree. I had an empty chair at my wedding where my mother would have been seated. My flower girl walked down the aisle with two single white roses, handed one to my husband's mom and put one on the empty chair for mine. People thought it was beautiful without being overwrought and sad.

My sister in law had a whole table with an angel figurine outside the ceremony site with pics of her and her mom, etc. I thought it was kind of overdone but figured it was her day. Her mom had died shortly after she was engaged to my husband's brother and all her sisters, nieces and nephews were in the wedding.

Answer 6

Mention her or have a little space a the wedding in memory of her

Answer 7

i suggest having a chair set up where his mother would traditionally sit, and maybe when it comes time to do the mother/groom dance, make a special announcement about her and have someone else, like his grandma, your mother, someone else he's close to dance with him... i also really like the rose thing someone else mentioned, having a flower girl deliver a rose to your mother and leave one at the seat for his mother.
