My last post was about a rose ceremony at a wedding. But roses - and rose petals - are also perfect for a non-religious baby naming ceremony - making a lovely and significant alternative to a water sprinkling. One godparent or guardian can drop white rose petals on the baby, symbolising a childhood innocence that hopefully will last; another can use yellow petals for friendship - evoking the friends who will bless the baby in the years ahead. Then another can sprinkle pink petals representing love that knows no bounds. The fourth can use red petals to reflect life and the passions the baby will find there.
