Strawberry Bouquet
Wedding bouquets originated in ancient Rome and Greece as small bundles of garlic, grains, and pungent herbs like dill and rosemary rather than flowers.
These aromatic bundles were carried to ward off malevolent spirits, mask body odor, and symbolize fertility and fidelity.
Not until the Victorian era did Queen Victoria popularize the shift to delicate blooming flowers, making the bouquet a romantic tradition rooted in the secret language of love and purity.
