What You Should Know about Flowers.

Contributed by Nily Glaser



Why is there?


Why Is There a Sprig of Live Ivy in the Bouquet for the Ceremony?
Ivy symbolizes eternal fidelity & wedded bliss. A popular Victorian tradition was for a bride to plant the ivy in her bouquet after the wedding and watch it grow through the years, passing down sprigs from the same plant for her daughters & granddaughters to use in their weddings.



 Why a Bride’s Handkerchief?
Early farmers thought a bride’s wedding tears were lucky and brought them rain for their crops. Later on in history, a crying bride meant that she would never shed another tear about her marriage.
Nikki: Nikki's bridal handkerchief originally belonged to her Grandma Dot.



What Is That Weird Pouch Hanging Off The Garter?
Another lesser-known Victorian wedding tradition involved small bags with a bit of bread and cloth and wood and coin to protect against shortages of food, clothing, shelter and money, with a lump of sugar to bring sweetness all the married life.
