What's a good name for a "rose" ceremony where cala lilies are used instead?

Question

We're going to give our mothers cala lilies during the ceremony instead of roses. What should I call the ceremony in the wedding program? Cala Ceremony??

Answer 1

I like Emily's suggestion of "Mother's Tribute."  That's all the "rose" ceremony really is, anyway.

My daughter and son-in-law opted to skip a "rose" ceremony, which was perfectly fine with me and s-i-l's mother.  But let me tell you what my wonderful child did, completely spur of the moment:

When my husband and daughter started down the aisle, all I could think was, 'I really want to hug her and kiss her one more time before she becomes Tom's wife.'  But I knew if I stepped into the aisle, it would confuse her and throw her off, and I really didn't want that.  Then just as they got to my pew, my daughter dropped her dad's arm to come over to me and throw her arms around me.  She gave me the biggest hug ever, and we got to whisper those last "Mommy-Daughter" nothings that mean so much, and I got to give her that last kiss.  And the photographer was even paying attention and got it.

That's my favorite memory from her wedding.  Unscripted, unplanned, and totally perfect.

Answer 2

"Flower presentation"

"Presentation of gifts to parents"

"Flower ceremony"

Answer 3

Presentation of Flowers?

Mother's Appreciation?

Mother's tribute?  

Corsage dedication?

You don't have to mention the name of the flower.  You could mention the purpose behind the ceremony.  Your guests will see the flowers.

Answer 4

"Presentation of Flowers"

"Flower Ceremony"

A lot of people won't know what "callas" or "calla ceremony" means. If you must, say "Lily Ceremony" instead, so your guests will understand.
