"Not the Usual Choice: A Proposal with Stunning White Roses"

When it comes to proposals, a bouquet of red roses ♡

When a man proposes to a woman, he traditionally gifts her a bouquet of red roses along with an engagement ring.

Many women dream of receiving a handful of roses as a present!

In Europe of the past, men would pick 12 roses to give to their girlfriend as a proposal. This custom seems to be the origin of the practice.

When you search for the tags “#proposal” or “#engaged” on social media, you’ll find many posts featuring bouquets of red roses.

This is thought to be because red roses are universally recognized as symbols of "love, affection, and passion."

It’s a color that is fitting for the greatest confession of love in life—proposing.

A proposal with a bouquet of white roses is also wonderful ♡

But!!

Recently, I discovered someone who was proposed to with “white roses” instead of the traditional bright red ones ♡

I realized I had never seen a proposal with white roses before.

It’s rare and stylish. I thought a bouquet of white roses is beautiful too…!

Because I’ve seen red rose bouquets in friends' engagement announcement photos and at wedding surprises, a bouquet filled with white roses looks fresh.

While I have seen people receive bouquets of white roses overseas, they seem less common in Japan ♡

There’s a special feeling in the fact that someone thoughtfully prepared something non-traditional!

What is the meaning of white roses?

I'm curious about the meaning of white roses.

The meanings of white roses are:

☑ Purity

☑ I am worthy of you

☑ Deep respect

☑ Mutual love

Compared to the passionate meanings of red roses, these meanings evoke a sense of calm and deep connection ♡

Originally, white roses are a staple in wedding bouquets and decorations.

So, those wondering if white roses are appropriate for a proposal can feel reassured.

The meaning of white roses changes depending on the number!

Just like red rose bouquets, the meaning of white roses also changes with their numbers.

The meanings are the same as for red roses ♡

◆◆ Recommended numbers of white roses for proposals ◆◆

☑ 99 roses: "Eternal love," "Years of feelings," "Please stay with me forever"

100 roses: "100% love"

101 roses: "I love you more than anything"

108 roses: "Please marry me"

144 roses: "I will love you no matter how many times I am reborn"

365 roses: "I miss you every day"

A bouquet of more than 100 white roses is breathtaking! I’ve never seen a bouquet like this.

If presented as a proposal, it would be truly moving.

Flower boxes are stylish too!

Recently, it has also become popular to present stylish flower boxes during proposals.

A flower box filled with white roses, rather than red, has a sophisticated and chic appearance ♡

The pure white flower box evokes thoughts of a wedding.

White roses for proposals might be a good idea ♡

Bouquets of roses are a classic for proposals.

While bright red roses are common, why not vow your love with white roses instead ♡

It may create a more memorable proposal.
