honoring a deceased parent at the wedding reception
My sister & I are putting together a reception for my brother & his bride. They don't have much & our budget is tight. We rented a hall & the tables will be long tables. We ordered magnets in memory of our dad that read "the rose on the table is in memory of the father of the groom,(his name), May he be with us today & always as a father's love is never forgotten. I also put a little rose sticker on the magnets. Our centerpieces are going to be a single rose in a bud vase with votive candles & tapered candles mixed. Does this sound alright & is it appropriate? We were all very close to our dad & also the majority of the guests will be from my dad's family. Any advice you can give me would be most appreciated. I also thought about going with white table cloths with a red runner down the middle.

Although your ideas are very touching, I would try to do the "memories" things at the ceremony and do the remembering of the deceased parent on the wedding program. The reception should be an upbeat, party type atmosphere. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
