A few months after we got engaged, one of my bridesmaids died unexpectedly. She was a friend for a long time and very close to me and my family. How can I do something for her at my wedding without getting everyone all emotional. We tried to say something at our engagement party and I just couldn't make it past the first sentence. My fiancee tried and he broke down also. Now, I realize this is a sad thing to bring to a wedding, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it so as not to make a scene. I've kept the order for her bouquet and will bring it to the cemetary for her, but I feel like I want to do more.
Not to add to this, but we've also have three more close family members die, not least of which, my mom's mom (Nanny). Yeah, it's been a bittersweet year, to say the least...any suggestions?

Honoring the death of a friend
Thank you all for your suggestions...we've talked to the Deacon who is marrying us and there's something during the ceremony that can be dedicated...I guess I just want her (and them all) there in some way...
Also build in a little time so if you do have a problem, you have time to fix it.

That's a beautiful thought. There are other charities to consider...my friend died suddenly in her sleep of a heart arrythmia, so I don't think there are any that specific...but maybe something that she would consider important...
Also, try to request a sample before you order. This way you can touch it and make sure it is the quality you are looking for before you place the order. Most companies are willing to send a sample - especially when you're ordering by mail or online.
