FLOWERS FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY Flowers have been a key part of the bridal look since the ancient Romans started to carry and wear floral garlands to their nuptials as a symbol of fertility, fidelity, and new beginnings. The bridal bouquet as we know it was born in the 19th century, when Queen Victoria held a small clutch of flowers at her wedding to Prince Albert in 1840. This also led to the onset of wedding flowers symbolism as brides began to choose blooms based on the meanings behind the flowers. For example, roses signify love, and peonies represent happiness and ambition. As a result, bouquets became closely associated with sentimental romance, making them the perfect wedding accessory. The bouquet has gone on to take a central role in modern bridal aesthetics, becoming one of the most important decisions that brides-to-be need to make. Selecting the best colors, fragrances and shapes are just as important as finding flowers that convey their feelings towards their partner, and their hopes for the future. The careful combination of all these factors is what has led to bridal flowers becoming seen as so beautiful and heartfelt.
