Not Just 12 Roses! Learning About the 'Bouquet and Boutonniere Ceremony' - A Ceremony Similar to the Dozen Roses ♡

2017.06.12 published

Do you know about the wedding ceremony performance "Bouquet and Boutonnière Ritual"?

Have you heard of the "Bouquet and Boutonnière Ritual," a ceremony that has been passed down from overseas?

The "Bouquet and Boutonnière Ritual" is one of the flower-based ceremonies often performed in church or human ceremonies.

Here’s how it goes◎

① Before the ceremony, give flowers to the guests.

② At the moment the groom enters, he collects the flowers from the guests.

③ Holding the gathered bouquet of flowers, he publicly proposes to the bride who enters afterward.

④ If the answer is Yes, the bride takes one flower from the bouquet and pins it into the groom's chest pocket as a boutonnière.

Similar to the Dozen Roses Ceremony♡

Many brides might think that "Bouquet and Boutonnière Ritual" is similar to that ceremony!

That's right; it's similar to the Dozen Roses Ceremony.

In the Dozen Roses Ceremony, twelve red roses are collected from the guests and presented to the bride, and it can also be considered another name for the "Bouquet and Boutonnière Ritual," as they are almost the same wedding ceremony performance♡

However, looking at reports from brides who did the "Bouquet and Boutonnière Ritual" on Instagram, I found that it has slightly different features compared to the Dozen Roses Ceremony♡

Feature 1 of the Bouquet and Boutonnière Ritual: Any flowers are fine

The Dozen Roses Ceremony mostly uses bright red roses, but with the "Bouquet and Boutonnière Ritual," any type of flower is okay.

While white flowers are a classic choice, this couple chose sunflowers♩

Feature 2 of the Bouquet and Boutonnière Ritual: The number of flowers doesn’t have to be 12

In the Dozen Roses Ceremony, there is a rule that 12 guests each give one flower, making a total of 12 flowers...

However, in the "Bouquet and Boutonnière Ritual," there’s no need to limit the number of flowers to 12♡ Therefore, some couples have asked all guests to prepare flowers!
