What Flowers Do You Give at a Civil Wedding Ceremony?

Friends or relatives have invited you to a civil wedding ceremony and you are not sure what flowers to give?

The answer to that question is a simple one, and the final decision is yours.

What is the custom?

Bringing flowers to an event like this is simply good manners. In Romania the flowers are normally handed to the newlyweds as they step out of the registry office at the town hall, once the papers have been signed.

Usually the guests form an arch of flowers for the couple to walk under, and at the end the two of them kiss to the cheers and good wishes of everyone present.

So how do we arrive at an objective answer to the question?

We asked florists what flowers they recommend for a civil wedding.

We put the question to florists in a small private group, and here is what came back.

First option: a floral arrangement.

Most of them named the floral arrangement as their first choice. Why?

Because floral arrangements are very easy to carry, and the couple can genuinely enjoy them. On top of that, they need no watering for at least a few days.

Bouquets, by contrast, stand a good chance of being piled on top of one another without water, or of ending up in buckets at the end of a table at the reception.

Second option: a simple bouquet made from a single variety.

Giving someone a bouquet of flowers was never about how practical the gesture is.

You can choose to give a bouquet made from a single variety of flower, one that holds up longer without water.

You will not go wrong if you opt for a fresh bouquet of tulips or freesias.

Third option: a special bouquet with a built-in water reservoir.

We ourselves would go for the third option instead: a bouquet of flowers that includes its own water reservoir.

This bouquet comes in a large, premium quality rigid card bag with handles and an embossed logo. The great advantage of this floral gift is how easy it is to carry.

If your aim is to spoil the newlyweds with a truly special floral gift, this is a choice well worth considering.

The bouquet in the photograph below can be ordered here, with delivery exclusively in the city of Bucharest and in the satellite towns around the capital, such as Otopeni, Buftea or Bragadiru.

Whatever you choose, we are certain the young couple will appreciate the gesture.

That is all — I hope this article has been of some use to you.
