Let me introduce an event that incorporates the beautiful meaning and origin of Dozen Roses!
How to Conduct a Dozen Roses Ceremony♡
To conduct the Dozen Roses ceremony, the groom will receive one rose from each guest during the reception. It’s important to collect words from each guest at that moment. It can be words of congratulations or advice for married life, and it’s also nice to have comments that align with the meanings of the Dozen Roses!
Once the groom gathers the 12 roses, he should receive the Dozen Roses bouquet from the 12th guest while gazing at the bride again and propose once more!
The Bride Returns a Rose to the Groom♡
Finally, in response, the bride will take one rose from the bouquet and return it to the groom as a boutonnière. At that time, she will also convey which of the 12 promises given by the groom she is returning. For example, it could be "affection" or "respect."
The Dozen Roses ceremony is an emotional performance that allows guests to participate. Everyone can support the proposal, and the moment the bride and groom vow their love will surely envelop the venue in emotion. This performance is especially recommended for receptions and outdoor ceremonies!
