What can wedding bouquets of roses

The history of wedding bouquets is complex and multifaceted. And confused, like any story told by one person to another. And as beautiful as the fairy tales people come up with, and as fairy tales, touching and naive.

It would seem that it is just an accessory, but how much is connected with it. The whole face of a girl preparing to say her "yes" to the one she loves and with whom she is ready to share eternity is always a reason for tears of admiration and delight. And this touching is achieved not only by the solemnity of the moment, but also by those details without which it is unthinkable today Wedding celebration. One of these details is the flowers of the bride. The tradition of our time - wedding bouquets of roses. But where did this tradition come from?

Long since the girl was married, decorating herself with a wreath of flowers. Sometimes it was really a wreath (the forefather of the current crown of the bride as part of a veil that transforms into hats and then into ribbons, depending on the requirements of fashion), sometimes the flowers were woven into the hair.

The tradition, thanks to which bridal bouquets of roses appeared in the hands of all the brides of the world, has a long history. It is believed that it originates in the English fashion of the XVII-XVIII centuries. Then, for the first time, wedding dresses were adorned with orange tree blossoms - florandrange. And this fashion quickly gained popularity in Europe, even though the orange flowers were very expensive. What can not you do for the happiest day of your life!

Expensiveness, and therefore inaccessibility of orange blossom led to the fact that girls from poor families, walking under the crown, began to decorate themselves with other, simpler colors. Most of the flowers were field flowers (garden cost not cheaper than orange, and wedding bouquets of roses would be a fantastically expensive thing), and they are difficult to attach to the dress - too fragile stems. So the first nouveaux of bouquets appeared, which grew up to our day in an indispensable and perhaps the most significant accessory of the celebration - wedding bouquets of roses. Modern brides can already afford something more than chamomiles and cornflowers, but still, for example, in England and until now, pansies and forget-me-nots remain the main colors decorating the wedding, and the myrtle twig is invariably weaved into a bouquet for the bride of royal blood. So, to say something to your surrounding bouquet, it is not necessary that he is insanely expensive. And to say, indeed, much can be done. And people have already made up a certain language for this!

To your wedding bouquets of roses, photos of which will remind you of your happiness all your life together, have become a "speaker", you need to know this language. This is what color means:

• Red, as you know, the color of love, life, passion. Sometimes it is associated with blood and revenge, remember, for example, that the scarlet carnation is a symbol of the October Revolution of 1917 . So be careful with the red. Although wedding bouquets of red roses, no doubt, they will say about the purity of your wishes.
• White, as is known, is a symbol of purity and innocence. If you are sure of both, white flowers are your flowers.
• Black color is a symbol of mourning, sadness. Not a wedding color, I see.
• Yellow - everyone knows by one popular song that this color is a symbol of separation. Its ancient symbol is disgust, hatred. Be careful with the yellow flowers in the wedding bouquet.
• Green is a symbol of faith and hope.
• Blue - means a special relationship with the gods. Are you not sure you can claim such a relationship? Or do not know what kind of gods are they talking about? Think about whether you need a blue flower in a bouquet.
• But blue is exactly needed, it is a symbol of fidelity.
• The majestic ladies show a purple color - a symbol of greatness.

Of course, all these are just symbols. A tradition whose tribute is not a mandatory contribution to its happy future. Follow it or not - your personal choice. In the end, the bride at the wedding has every right to be simply beautiful, without any hints and ambiguity.
