What is a Rose Ceremony?
Victoria Bartlett
Intended as ways to expand on the meaning of the exchange of vows, unity ceremonies take many shapes and forms; couples can exchange letters to each other, plat a tree or “tie the knot” as symbols of the moment and bond. In Rose ceremonies, each partner holds a single rose and after extending their vows, swap them as a first gift to each other before placing them together into a vase. Ritual that can extend, if the couple so wishes, to family and guests by inviting them to add different color roses to the mix and creating an impromptu wedding arrangement made of blissful blooms.
SO, WHAT DOES THE FLOWERS GUY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ROSES AS WEDDING FLOWERS?Its not by accident that roses have for millennia been muses of artists, writers and musicians. With their undeniable beauty and rich symbolism, roses carry themselves with unperturbed elegance and sophistication, yet speak for a large spectrum of human emotions – most decidedly of love and passion, - with a degree of nuance that no other bloom can.
For roses are not only heralds of feelings for others, they too speak of the contradictions that riddle our emotions. Of how with love comes heartache, and with passion too comes suffering; about how with hope comes anticipation and about how we could never understand boundless joy without having experienced grief before that too. Of how we bloom to attract yet guard ourselves behind our prickled spines.
About how we connect and tangle ourselves in ways that fail to be expressed but by the most extraordinary of philosophers, painters, poets, composers and performers; yet a single rose, can muster with almost aloof eloquence. As if their existence where solely for the purpose of being messengers for what we fail to speak, and so about the uniqueness of our bonds.
So come think about it – the undeniable beauty and elegance of roses, the astounding bridal bouquets and wedding arrangements, the palette of colors and emotions for your rose ceremony and wedding, and how they speak of love with a degree of nuance that only very few of the brightest of artists minds can – not a matter of “why,” but with roses, the Cyrano de Bergerac [1] of wedding flowers.
Speaking about the meaning of the bond being celebrated the day of your wedding, in ways that fail even the most sumptuous of words.
