Print meanings on ribbons ♡ The idea of making handmade ribbons to wrap around a dozen roses is wonderful.

Romantic Productions Like a Wedding ♡

One of the traditional classic productions in weddings: [Dozen Roses (12 Roses)].

Each of the 12 roses carries a meaning of love, happiness, gratitude, sincerity, trust, hope, passion, truth, respect, glory, effort, and eternity. The groom collects flowers from the guests and presents them to the bride in a bouquet, saying, "I dedicate everything to you," which is a romantic gesture filled with love.

Using Ribbons for Dozen Roses Tags ♡

It's common to attach tags with meanings to the flowers used in the dozen ceremony, but @makkiroom, who held her wedding at the Tsurumi no Mori Geihinkan in Osaka in October 2022, decorated with ribbons instead of tags!

With tags, the flowers have a popping-out effect, but with ribbons, they hang down long from the flowers.

It looks cute, like a wedding bouquet ♡

Writing in English on the Ribbon is Stylish ♡

@makkiroom wrote 12 words in English on the ribbons of the dozen flowers. "Love = LOVE" "Eternity = ETERNITY" 💎

Next to the 12 words, there was also a message saying "Thanks a lot. You're the best!" ♡

On the other side, she added the names of the guests ♡

It's special and beautiful not only to include words like "gratitude" but also to include the names of the guests.

How to Make the Ribbons 🎀

<What You Need>

- Ribbon (use a material like linen that won't melt with an iron. A thicker width is better! @makkiroom used a width of 3cm.)

➡ Search for linen ribbon on Rakuten

- Iron-on print sheet (A-one's iron-on print sheet is convenient ♡)

➡ Search for A-one's iron-on print sheet on Rakuten

- Iron

<Steps>

1. Create the data for printing the words on the iron-on print sheet. Since the text will be mirrored when doing the iron-on print, make the text data mirrored.

2. Print on the iron-on print sheet

3. Transfer the design onto the ribbon with an iron

That completes the process! ♡

Making the Dozen Ceremony Even More Adorable ♡

By using ribbons instead of tags for the dozen roses, it becomes more elegant and cute, like a wedding bouquet ♡

Even after the dozen ceremony is over, you can keep the ribbons as a memento ♡

(It might be nice to give a little gift along with the ribbons to the guests who requested the dozen ceremony!)

Thank you, @makkiroom, for sharing this wonderful idea ♡
