"Carrying flowers by the bride is
not something new to our century; it
actually has its roots in ancient times. During
that time, superstitious beliefs such
as evil spirits and bad luck were prevalent.
It was thought that the use of strong
smelling herbs and spices would drive these away.
Garlic and chives were also used for
the same reason. During the Roman era, this
tradition was added to. The bride and
groom wore floral garlands signifying new life
and hope for fertility. The bouquet in
particular symbolized a women in bloom."
