One of the most popular items that get paired with a wedding dress is a bouquet. The tradition of bridal bouquets started back in Ancient Roman days, as well as the Middle Ages. Each era brought it’s own meaning behind having a bouquet of flowers. Some believe that flowers signify new beginnings, or hope of fertility. Certain bouquets would add spices and herbs to ward off evil spirits and bad luck. Also, it was uncommon back in the day for women (and men) to bathe regularly, so it would mask the smell of body odor on their special day!
