Presentation Roses?

[LuluLovesDisney]

Do they just go to mothers?

My parents are still together, but DF's are not and he is closer to his dad who remarried less than a year ago.

So, who should get the roses? It would make most sense (to me) to do one or two to my parents, one to DF's mom and one to DF's dad.

What do you all think?

Of course this is totally up to you... but I believe I have read that the Bride and Groom walk to the Bride's mother and the Groom gives her a rose, then they go to the Groom's mother and the Bride presents her a rose.

I haven't heard (which doesn't mean anything) of the father's receiving a rose. Personally, my father will be wearing a boutonniere and would probably be less inclined to carry around a rose

Oh and I see the other part of your question is asking about his step-mother.

I understand that your FH feels closer to his father than his mother, but it is my opinion that the rose should be presented to her, and not the step mom.

Again, I think it would be a nice gesture to give your dad and his dad a boutonniere... or even present them with one during the rise presentation.

We're giving roses to:

DF's mom
and all my mothers - My step-mother, My "other" mother (who is my dad's ex-gf that I'm still close to), and my "adoptive" mother (my aunt). I was blessed to have so many "mothers" to pick up where my mom left off, and I feel it's important to give them all the rose that any mother would have. It's a small cost, but something that will mean alot to them.

My answer in short, which may not be much of an answer at all - give a rose to whomever you feel like. I'm looking at it as a "mother" thing in my wedding, but if I felt like my dad wanted one - you betcha I would get him one!

We did corsages for the step mothers, my grandmother, and my sister in law. For presentation roses we did it for both of our Mother's since they have passed. We wanted a way to honor them.

I gave a rose to my mom, DH's mom and his stepmother. His step-mother ended up not going. We gave a boutonniere to his dad and my dad.

At our wedding the mothers had corsages and DH's father had a boutonniere.

I did something different for "presentation roses"- I gave 3 out during my reception to three women (other than my mom) who made a profound impact on my life. One was my Aunt (who I was like a daughter to), my old dance teacher (my 2nd mom), and another who holds a special place in my heart. It was nice because I was able to tell them how much they mean to me and not just give them a rose.
