When did wedding bouquets start?
Wedding bouquets are a tradition that started in ancient Rome.
Bridal parties would wear crowns of leaves scented with flowers to be an ‘offering’ to the Gods.
It had been said to promote good fortune and fertility within the marriage.
This tradition has been given a modern-day approach but still is used as a good luck charm on the wedding day.
That is why we throw the bouquet at the wedding reception.
It is a symbol to the person who catches it and will offer the person who catches it good luck in their relationship.
Why are centerpieces important?
Centerpieces set the theme for the wedding and offer a ‘wow’ factor for all your guests to enjoy.
They can be enjoyed after the wedding as well.
Either by donating them, reusing them in your home, or preserving them to remember your special day.
They are a way to fill up the table, and if you are using specific flowers, it gives new meaning to the symbolism behind them.
