Wedding Flowers - Bridal Bouquets |
|
The best place to begin your planning may be with the style of the bridal bouquet
which will set the theme and style for the bridal party as well as
the arrangements for the ceremony and reception. |
|
 |
|
The origins of the bridal bouquet are from ancient beliefs that strong smelling spices
and herbs (including garlic and chives) protected wedding partys from bad luck, evil spirits, and ill health.
|
|
|
Some time later, Roman wedding traditions expanded this concept
with the custom of decorating the bride and groom in floral
garlands which symbolized new life and hope for fertility.
The Greeks and Romans also began the custom of strewing
flowers before the bridal couple to symbolize the essence of love.
|
|
Currently, your choices of flowers may be influenced by "meanings" attributed
to flowers during the Victorian era.
