hmmm I dunno... It is very beautiful, I will admit that. But I think some people could feel uneasy about it. It's your call, of course!
I don't think it would be appropriate for a non-Catholic.
What about just wrapping a cross pendant around your boquet? It wouldn't be an actual rosary but would give a similar look maybe?
@Ebg I understand I know the younger people would be okay with it but the older folks Grandma/Strict christian aunt lol would maybe be uneasy about it who knows maybe they wouldnt pay attention : )
@JoJo Bananas I agree but since Christina aguilera had a half jewish wedding I figured i could maybe pull it off haha...
@babyboo I didnt think about that! Hmm maybe..thank you : )
Since it is a devotional item and not just a string of beads, IMO it wouldn't be appropriate for someone who doesn't have a reverance for the rosary (which is pretty important to some people) to carry it just for looks. I think that if you prayed the rosary, it would probably be appropriate. That said, many people who see you may either not notice it, or may assume you've taken up praying it. As a catholic, I don't know that I'd be insulted as a guest, but I would think it was weird (if I knew you weren't catholic).
Generally, I think it's inappropriate to use traditions/items from other cultures and religions solely for aesthetic purposes. Christina Aguilera is actually Catholic, so I don't find it odd that she carried a rosary.
you can use one but with only the cross!!! no jesus!!! christians dont use rosary because jesus resurrected...(that what i learned when i was a kid) ...
I say no, a rosary is a religous item and should solely be used to pray the rosary...it is not jewelery and should not be use for anything other than praying the rosary. If you are not catholic and if it has no meaning to you, it would be quite offensive for anyone who is catholic.
@Magenta That was what I planned if I were to do it just the cross not a cross with jesus on it : )
Ya I am not so sure about that - I think it is disrespectful!
Well a rosary isn't one w/ just a cross on it - an actual crucifix is important as it allows the person praying to reflect on Jesus and his sacrifice, as well as the meditation.
I'd be slightly offended b/c the rosary is very dear to my heart - and knowing that you were trying to make a "fashion statement" is kind of sacrilegous in a way.
I am thinking of carring one a rosery in my bouquet as I walk down the aisle but I'm Catholic, FI is not.
I have a similar question, my grandmother passed away when I was younger and my mother has a few of her personal items, which includes a few of her rosarys. I was thinking of carrying one with my bouquet or somehow to include my grandma. I'm not religious at all so not sure if that's right. Should I go ahead or only if I can find another something of hers brooch/earring/necklace...
A devotional item should never be used for fashion purposes. As a Catholic, I would be extremely confused by you carrying one and when I learned why you did I would be pretty offended.
And just to clarify for some of the others, Catholics believe in the resurrection and the "resurrection" is one of the mysteries of Christ we reflect on while praying the rosary.

While Myself or my FI are not catholic (Christian) I love the way the rosery beads looked while christina aguilera and melania trump were holding them. I think it would go great with my dress (any dress for that matter) but do you think it would confuse guest or cause anyone to be upset? I dont know I just like the way it looks : )
