"An Alternative Presentation to Dozen Roses: The 'Rose Ceremony' Where the Newlyweds Present a Single Rose to Their Parents"

Do you know about the Rose Ceremony?

Not to be confused with the Dozen Roses Ceremony.

Have you heard of the wedding performance called the "Rose Ceremony"?

The couple presents roses to their parents＊

The Rose Ceremony is a performance where, at the end of the wedding ceremony, the couple hands a single rose to each parent to express their gratitude.

The timing for this is after the exchange of rings, the vows, and the kiss - in other words, after all of those elements have been completed!

① First, the pastor hands over the roses.

② The parents are asked to stand and step forward a bit.

The order is the groom’s parents followed by the bride’s parents.

③ The bride hands a rose to her mother.

It seems traditional to shake hands with the father.

Simple yet emotional moment

The act of giving a rose is often associated with something extravagant and sparkling, like the Dozen Roses or The Bachelor, but...

— From the bride and groom to their parents

This performance of presenting a single rose, along with the words "Thank you," may only last a few minutes but is sure to be an emotional moment.

Guests can only observe from the back, but they will likely feel moved, thinking, "They really cherish their parents."

Moreover, guests who have attended church-style weddings before will be familiar with the flow of the ceremony, but

the Rose Ceremony is rare, making it a refreshing and surprising addition.

I think it would be lovely to use flowers other than roses, such as tulips, carnations, or daisies.

How about considering it as an option for your wedding performance? ♡
