Bridal Flowers Of Nations.

1t may prove interesting to prospective
brides. who choose their wedding flowers
with so much sentiment to know why
certain blossoms have been associated
with marriage feastS.
Orange blossoms are the first flower
thought of in connection with weddings.
The Saracens used orange blossoms to
crown their brides. and regarded them as
the emblemS of happiness and prosperity
and as n sign of fecundity. The fruit has
also it's association with the hymenedl
altar. as the golden apple presented by
Jupiter to Juno on the day OF their nup-
tails is supposed to have been an orange.
In Sardinia il is customary to attach or
anges to the horns of the oxen which
draw the nuptial conveyance. Brides and
bridegrooms also are sprinkled with or
ange flower water and In ancient times
the bridal bed was decorated with sprigs
Of rosemary and orange blossoms.
The Germans who use wreaths Of myr-
tie, consider this vine symbolic of purity
and fertility. and for the same reason the
Roman bridegroom wore crown of myr-
tie. while the brides wreath was of roses
and myrtle. Myrtle was said to be ia
vorite of Venus, the goddess of love. and
is symbolic of love. In Prussia, however.
it is held to be an evil omen for a bride
to plant myrtle. and in other parts of the
German Empire verbena wreaths replace
the myrtle. In other parts of this same
country a hat made of verbenas is pre-
scented to the new-made wife, and Is sup
posed to place her under the special pro-
lection of Venus Victrix.
In former times rosemary was consid-
cred the bridal flower, and was entwined
in wreaths and dipped in scented water.
In Greece the altar Is entwined with ivy.
and the priest presents branch to both
the bride and bridegroom as a symbol of
the indissolubIe knot of matrimony. while
the wreaths of the bridal couple are, in
some parts of the land, composed of pop
pies.
In old Roman times poppy wreaths
were only worn by married women, sup
nosed to indicate. by their brightness, the
Joy and happiness of married life. In other
PARTS Of the Greek isles brides wear n.y.
acinth wreaths instead of orange bios
sons In Tripon all bridal gifts are sent
covered with flowers.
Rose crowns sometimes were worn as
bride wreaths, being especially loves
flower. but the lily of the water, now 50
often used as the bridal flower. was
called virgins tears, and was considered
most unIucky as a wedding flower.
