Once a bride begins to consider her wedding flowers, she
might find herself in a virtual greenhouse brimming with possibilities. Ideas
can be borrowed, old, or new. One fantastic trend for bouquets is the
resurgence of incorporating herbs as a part of the arrangement. Ancient legends
of long ago speak of the symbolic power of herbs. Not only do they stand for a
grand virtue, such as strength or courage, but they also have been used as
comforts for eons. Rosemary represents love, faithfulness, and remembrance- all
essential ingredients for a long life together. Thyme hearkens back to the
medieval era because it was adopted as a symbol of courage, a virtue any
military spouse will be sure to value. For strength, choose sage, which is a
lovely addition to both bold and romantic bouquets. Creative brides may
consider mint or parsley, both of which have a pleasant effect on the aroma of
the arrangement, and even of the breath when a leaf is nibbled!
