The Butterflies | PSF
When my sister, Emily, asked me to create her Save the Date cards, it was very important to her to have something on there that was symbolic for her. For us.
Do you see those three little butterflies in the top right corner? Well, they represent three lives that were taken from our family way too early.
I’ve mentioned and talked about all of them before. All of them should have been in our generations picture. Nicky, our cousin, lost her battle to cancer at the age of 9. Taylor, also our cousin, lost her battle to cancer just a few years later. And, the third butterfly was in honor/memory of our baby in heaven.
To some, it might seem insignificant, but to me, to us, it was very significant. And, I know that my aunts were very thankful for the memory as well.
And, at the ceremony? Included in her bouquet were three separate crystal butterflies for each one of those people. This was mentioned in the program I created, too, so the guests knew of their significance.
It was a very simple and yet special thing that she did for us all.
oo tears.. streaming down my face! What a special way to remember those that went to be with Jesus to soon! Your sister’s bouquet is beautiful with the butterflies on it!
I couldn’t agree more.
Such a lovely and special way to honor those taken too soon. Beautiful!
such a beautiful way to honor three very special people…
Her bouquet was already pretty, but how much more beautiful it became with the extra amount of loveand memories added to it.
Thanks for the memorable save the date cards, and the privilege of having something in Jethro, Taylor and Nikki’s memory. Their special part of my bouquet made it beautiful and full of love!
Wow, I got chills just reading this. That is so very beautiful and special. I pretty much love your sister no too….
Yeah, she’s a pretty thoughtful person.
Oh my gosh! I had no idea about your cousins… that is so sad. I LOVE that idea of doing something small in memory of the people who should be there. And I love that it is butterfly’s! We have a new love of butterflys at our house since Anna has passed away. They are so symbolic & beautiful!
A butterfly actually landed at the site of my cousin’s burial (they were already important to her and her school’s mascot)..came for a minute, and flew away and left. It was like she was telling us she was okay.
What a wonderful way to remember Krystyn…you have an amazing sister!
I have to agree..she is pretty cool.
How touching! What a wonderful to remember your loved ones. The save the date cards and bouquets came out lovely.
Thank you! I think she had such a great idea…and it was so easy to implement.
That made me tear up. What a sweet way to remember everyone.
What a beautiful gesture to include in the wedding! Great idea!
How very thoughtful and touching.
So sweet. It’s the little things right? What a special way to remember those special people.
Yes, the little things that represent something so big!
how beautiful and touching. thank you for sharing, and congrats to your sister and new brother-in-law!
Thank you! We’re pretty happy with the new addition, too.
Aw, I love that. Very special. It’s so important to remember the ones we’ve lost. <3
That is so neat! Love it!
