This time, we will introduce the wonderful meanings behind the performances at weddings. Knowing the meanings will certainly make the wedding even more moving!
The term bouquet originally comes from French and refers to any kind of flower arrangement. It is said that the bouquet began when a man gathered flowers and offered the bouquet to propose to a woman♡
The woman who received the proposal then took a bloom from the bouquet, which became the boutonniere, and gifted it to the man as an acknowledgment of her "yes"♡
From the origins of the bouquet and boutonniere, a performance called "Dozen Roses" was born, where the groom collects 12 roses, one from each guest, and presents them as a bouquet to the bride. The bride then gives one rose back to the groom. Each of the 12 roses carries a meaning: "gratitude, sincerity, happiness, trust, hope, affection, passion, truth, respect, glory, effort, and eternity"♡
The veil has the meaning of "warding off evil" and is intended to protect the bride from malevolent forces. The veil down ritual from mother to bride is the final preparation for sending off a cherished daughter, along with the wish that she will continue to be happy♡
The Virgin Road represents the path that the bride has walked until now. The chapel doors symbolize the moment of the bride's "birth" into this world. As she walks down the Virgin Road, watched over by loved ones, she passes the baton from father to groom, moving toward her "future"♡
The Virgin Road is a representation of the bride's life itself. It is okay to walk down with someone important who has watched over her life, not just her father!
Wonderful Meaning Behind Wedding Performances 4: First Bite and Last Bite♡
The First Bite, where the bride and groom feed each other wedding cake, is becoming a standard performance at wedding receptions. Recently, there has also been an increase in a "Last Bite," where each mother feeds the bride and groom before their first bite!
The First Bite has been practiced in the West for a long time. The bite from the groom to the bride signifies "I will ensure you never go hungry," while the bite from the bride to the groom means "I will always prepare delicious meals for you"♡
The Last Bite is a heartfelt gesture from mothers who have cooked for their children until now, symbolizing that "today is the last time I will feed you. From now on, you two should eat well together." It signifies a wish for their new life to be successful♡
