Today, though, we wanted to talk flowers. Flowers always add a touch of romance to any love story. They brighten up people’s days. They help to say sorry. Flowers are amazing gifts of beauty given to us by mother nature, and of course every bride wants to have a beautiful bouquet on her wedding day.
Here’s a curiosity for you. How many people out there actually know how and why a bouquet of flowers got introduced into the marriage ceremony. This is one of those trivial facts that isn’t really common knowledge.
History has it that, originally, many many moons ago, in fact during the time of the plague, brides use to walk down the aisle carrying a bunch of dill and a load of garlic. It’s thought that these herbs had the ability to protect the carrier from the plague itself. Whether it worked, or not, is unknown. However, slowly but surely, as things improved, brides started to incorporate herbs that smelled sweeter, until eventually herbs and garlic were replaced by flowers. These flowers, in actual fact, were to disguise the bad smell of body odor from poor hygienic standards.
Nowadays, we don’t have that problem. Running water is readily available and no bride needs to disguise any smells what so ever. So, flowers are just a beautiful addition to the marriage ceremony. All our wedding packages include flowers and each flower has a different meaning. Perhaps we should write a blog about the different meanings of flowers. All you have to do is tell us what colour you would like and we’ll provide you with the perfect bouquet to match your style.
