Why Does the Bride Carry Flowers?

Posted on June 12, 2007 with 2 Comments

For years, flowers are sign of a variety of emotions and values. Roses for love, lilies for virtue and so on. During ancient marriages, the brides carried herbs beneath their veils to symbolize fidelity. Greek brides carried ivy as a symbol of never-ending love. Orange blossoms were chosen by the Spaniards to represent happiness and fulfilment, because the orange tree bears fruit and flowers at the same time. During even earlier times of “primitive marriage,” when the fear of demons was most prevalent, the brides carried stinking garlands of herbs and spices for the purpose of frightening off evil spirits.
