Flower for Dad

doglover2014

Hi everyone,

So my father passed away a little over 2 years ago, and I would really love to do something small but meaningful in my ceremony. I've decided that I would love to put a single yellow rose, since this was 'his' flower in with my rose bouquet. I am doing mostly white roses, with a few red roses. I emailed my decorator/flower person to let her know I would want a single yellow rose added in, and she emailed me back saying that this probably wouldn't look good, and to do something else in my Dad's honour. What do you guys think? It would just be one yellow rose.

Thanks!

A girl on my local left an empty seat on the first row at her ceremony and placed a single long-stemmed red rose on it to honor her mother.  You could do that with a yellow rose for your father.

If you are doing any sort of memorial table, you could have a single yellow rose, or maybe a yellow rose bout made to put in front of his picture on the table.

I think that if you want the one yellow rose in your bouquet to remember your father, don't let anyone tell you not to do it.

It doesn't have to be front and center, it could be on the edge of the bouquet.

I'm actually doing the exact same thing.  I lost my dad just over 3 years ago and my flowers are all red but tucked into the center is a single yellow rose bud in his memory.  I agree that you shouldn't let anyone tell you what you can and can't do to honor your dad.
