The Rose Giving Ceremony is a modern ritual incorporating one of the most significant symbols of love, the rose. Usually a red rose (symbolising love) or white rose (symbolising purity) is used in honour of the wedding day, although any colour rose is more than acceptable.
This ceremony symbolises the merging of the couple and/or their families. One example,
When the couple leave the ceremony, they have in their possession two roses, usually red. As they exit they will stop and offer a rose and a kiss to their mothers or significant mother figures. In doing this, they are expressing their gratitude for preparing them for marriage and for receiving their partners into their families.
There are many variations to this ceremony for your consideration, from the couple exchanging first “gifts” to the acceptance of a rose from close friends as the bride enters the venue.
