The Bouquet

There is a long history of brides carrying wedding bouquets.  In the Middle Ages strong smelling plants like herbs were thought to deflect evil spirits and bad luck whereas in Ancient Rome flowers were associated with new beginnings and fertility.  The Victorians developed a flower language with different sentiments and meanings attached to flowers. The bride’s bouquet blooms became her special flowers for the rest of her life.
