No
event in a wedding ceremony causes such riveted attention to a bride and
groom as does the presentation of roses to VIP Females. Many people feel indebted to their
families- especially their parents. If this is so with you, then what better time to
say thank you in a special way than during your wedding ceremony? Presenting your
mom a rose during the ceremony shows both gratitude and respect for the major contribution
your parents made to your life. Roses may also be presented to any VIP you wish to honor
and express gratitude toward such as grandparents, sisters or daughters.
 As a wedding minister, I
teach couples that an ideal time to present roses is just after the lighting of the Unity
Candle if that option is used. The bride and groom will approach the brides’ parents
first. Always take
your time when presenting roses, nothing reduces the effect more than quickness.
Parents
should always rise at the approach of the bride and groom to receive their embrace.
Remember
- feelings make wedding ceremonies, and the presenting of roses to parents or VIPs is a
wonderful opportunity to evoke those feelings in your guests! Your
wedding planning should have many such evocative events which are
photogenic, and which get and hold the attention of the guests.
