A Bouquet Presentation to Show Appreciation to Parents
At the end of the wedding, the scene where you express gratitude to your parents is typically the presentation of a bouquet and memorial gifts♡
It’s common to give a bouquet to your mother and a memorial gift to your father*
Many brides are particular about the “memorial gift” they give to their fathers, such as a weight doll or a certificate of thanks for raising children...
However, when it comes to the “bouquet” for mothers, many brides tend to leave it up to the florist without specific requests.
Nevertheless, a bouquet is also a way to convey gratitude to your parents. You want to include flowers that they will truly appreciate, right?◎
This time, we’ll introduce how to choose a bouquet for your parents that they will love!
How to Choose a Bouquet for Presentation ① Choose Flowers Your Mother Likes
First, let’s talk about choosing flowers based on your mother’s favorite blooms!
A bouquet is an expression of gratitude. You want to select flowers that they will enjoy♩
If you know her favorite flowers, it would be lovely to combine them and gift her the bouquet.
How to Choose a Bouquet for Presentation ② Include Carnations
Adding carnations to the bouquet is also recommended*
Carnations are the classic flower given on Mother's Day♡
The flower language of carnations is "pure and deep love." They are perfect flowers to give to parents who have raised you with overflowing love♡
By the way, red carnations have the flower language of “love for mothers.” If you particularly want to express your gratitude to your mother, choosing bright red carnations could be a good choice♩
How to Choose a Bouquet for Presentation ③ Choose Based on Flower Language
Next, let’s look at choosing a bouquet based on flower language*
Flowers that symbolize “gratitude” are often chosen for wedding bouquets♩
Here are some recommended flowers with flower languages of gratitude♡
☑ Pink Roses
☑ Pink Gerberas
☑ Baby's Breath
☑ Red Poppies
☑ Turkish Bellflower
When choosing flowers based on flower language, it might be nice to write the meanings on a card to accompany the bouquet♩
How to Choose a Bouquet for Presentation ④ Consider Venue Flowers and Bouquets
Many brides also consider the relationship with other flowers used in the wedding, like venue flowers and bouquets*
For example,
☑ To create a sense of unity in the venue, a bouquet similar to the table floral arrangements was chosen.
☑ Since the table flowers were in cool tones, a warm-toned bouquet was selected to stand out.
☑ To evoke memories of the wedding, a bouquet similar to the bride’s bouquet was chosen.
☑ To avoid a similar atmosphere when standing next to each other, different flowers were selected from the bouquet.
Each bride has her approach, whether to create a similar or different ambiance, but it seems many are considering the relationship between venue flowers and the bouquet in their choices◎
How to Choose a Bouquet for Presentation ⑤ Choose Something Different from a Regular Bouquet
Finally, let’s talk about brides who chose something a bit different from the regular bouquet*
This bride chose a box flower♡
There was also an element where the newlyweds would open the lid and reveal the flowers, adding a nice surprise to the presentation♩
It’s not just handing it over; it’s a way to create a little surprise◎
Some brides even presented dried flowers instead of fresh ones*
Dried flowers can last forever, so it must be a nice reminder for mothers♩
