Adding Flower to Bouquet during Ceremony

Mary, on August 17, 2019 at 1:16 PM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 5
Hi! I hope I do an okay job of explaining what I’m picturing for this...
Immediately before the ceremony begins, I would like my maid of honor to address the audience while holding my bouquet, do a short reading and call up specific relatives from the audience to add a small rose or flower to my bouquet. My thought process with this is the women being called up are important women in my life and although they are not technically bridesmaids I would like them to still be honored during the ceremony by adding a small flower to my bouquet to symbolize them “walking down the aisle with me”. Does anyone have a short script of what my MOH could say to explain this to the audience while she’s holding my bouquet? The honored guests would know about this ahead of time and be given their flower to add to the bouquet before the ceremony.

    That sounds like a beautiful idea! I don't have any suggestions, but where is the MOH going to stand with your bouquet? Is she going to walk up the aisle, do her thing, then walk back down the aisle to give you the bouquet, then walk back up the aisle again?

    Yep! She is going to walk up with the officiant, read her speech into the microphone and then bring the bouquet back to me.

    Wow, that's such a cool idea! Maybe something along the lines of

    "Mary has so many wonderful people in her life that it would fill up this stage if she asked each and every person to be a bridesmaid. Instead, she would like to honor the following people and thank them for being such a large blessing to her and her fiancé.

    Jane Smith

    Abigail Red

    Another Name

    etc."

    I’ve seen this done before with the bride adding to her bouquet as she walked down the aisle. The special people handing her flowers were placed at the end of their aisle. There was no explanation given but it was obvious they were meaningful people in her life. It was very beautiful.
