Hello both our mothers are deceased so we are just going to place white calla lillies on the chairs where they would sit. at least that is what i have seen
I found this via a Google search. Seems sweet and simple. I wish I'd known about it four months ago!!!
Honoring the wonderful women in your lives with a rose presentation is simple and beautiful. Before the ceremony, select a long stemmed rose for each mother/grandmother/person to be honored and tie a ribbon on the stem. Place the roses on the alter near the unity candle. Ussually during the lighting of the unity candle, a special song is played or sung by a soloist. After the bride and groom light the Unity candle together, they each pick up the roses and take them back to where their mothers are sitting. The Groom presents his rose to his mother while the Bride presents to her mother, along with a hug and a kiss. The bride and groom then meet in the center and walk back up to the alter together, where they hold hands facing eachother while the song finishes.
i acknowledged my mothers (step-mom, mom) and my partner's mom as i entered our ceremony. Instead of a bouquet, i carried three perfect, pink roses and gave them out before i joined my partner.
Loved it! They were so surprised and it was a very touching part of our ceremony. Everyone was in tears before we even started. I should say that i am not christian but a pragmatist! I didn't have a bridal party and thought it would be a great way to get rid of my 'bouquet' and free up my hands.
@Tiffypoo:There is a part in a Catholic ceremony that sounds like this. We're making brooch bouquets for our moms for this. I think maybe you can just ask the priest/officiant?
It is customary among many Asian cultures to honor both sets of parents, not just mothers. After pretty much the important parts of the ceremony are completed, the couple brings a bouquet of flowers (or some kind of present) to one side, each hug each parent, and then do the same for the other set of parents. It's very close to what Gemstone posted. I'm sure the mothers in your wedding will love whatever you do to honor them :) It's Awesome you're doing the research and brainstorming creative ideas on how to accomplish this.

Ok, I have heard of this being done at a wedding ceremony. But I have never seen it. I like the idea of honoring our mothers with a rose ceremony, but i'm not sure how to go about it. I would like for the mothers not to know about it. Please give me some ideas on how to work this into the ceremony, when, what to say, etc. Thanks!
