The Rose Ceremony
The giving of a rose is a simple and profound statement of your enduring love for each other – it is symbolic of the very first gift that you exchange as Husband and Wife.
The gift of a single red rose has always been symbolic of the message, I Love You!
A Rose Bud
Frequently the bride and groom will give each other a red rose bud. Like their marriage, with love and care a rose bud will mature to reach its full potential and beauty.
Honouring the Mothers
A unique variation likely to evoke emotion, would be for the bride and groom to give the roses to their mothers or someone special to them.
Children
A beautiful symbol of welcoming children into the new family might be to present each of them with a rose.
My Love is Like a Red Red Rose
O, My love is like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my love is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.
