How about coming up with your own meanings for the 12 flowers in the dozen roses ceremony suggested by marry?♡

Proposal from marry♡

The popular Dozen Roses Ceremony for wedding performances.

In this performance, the groom gathers 12 flowers from the guests, creates a bouquet, and presents it to the bride as a proposal.

Since it's called Dozen Roses, it is originally standard to use roses.

Recently, it has become trendy to use other flowers, such as peonies, calla lilies, gerbera, sunflowers, tulips, and anthuriums, or to mix them together.♡

With such a Dozen Roses Ceremony, let me propose a new idea from marry♡

Why not create your own original meanings for the number 12?

Each of the 12 flowers in the Dozen Roses Ceremony has its own designated meaning.

Here are the meanings of the 12 flowers.

💐 Gratitude

💐 Sincerity

💐 Happiness

💐 Trust

💐 Hope

💐 Affection

💐 Passion

💐 Truth

💐 Respect

💐 Glory

💐 Effort

💐 Eternity

However, I've been thinking for a while…

I don't think it's absolutely necessary to use these 12 meanings as they are.

I believe it would be really wonderful to think of words that are important to you and relate to memories with your guests, and to give original meanings to each flower!♡

If I were to have a Dozen Roses Ceremony, I've always thought I'd like to do it this way.

For example, this is how I would do it!

An Original Meaning Dozen Roses Ceremony♡

An original arrangement of the Dozen Roses Ceremony, where instead of traditional meanings you think of different words to give meanings to the flowers.

It allows you to express your individuality, and it seems refreshing for the guests, doesn't it?

This time, I really enjoyed thinking about the 12 meanings, and I feel like it helped me reconsider what I want to cherish in life!

If you have a Dozen Roses Ceremony at your wedding, please discuss with your partner and come up with your original meanings!♡

(It doesn’t have to be just at the ceremony; it would also be great as a guest participation performance during the reception table rounds, right?♡)
