Posy bouquets are a timeless option for weddings. This design has a little spherical bouquet wrapped with a stylish ribbon and simple to grasp in one hand. Posy bouquets are made up primarily of flowers with little to no foliage. They are perfect for couples who want to add a bit of color but not fill their yard with plants. The name "posy" comes from the French word "pour oiseau," which means "for bird." In olden days, ladies would give birds such as parrots and lovebirds as gifts because they were very colorful and attractive. Today, brides still give posies to men as gifts because they believe it will help them have children. The tradition of giving posies as gifts has made its way into marriage ceremonies where the bride gives her husband a posy to represent the gift of childbearing. It is also common for the father of the bride to receive a posy to signify that he is now able to reproduce himself! In addition to being used in wedding ceremonies, posies are often given away at funerals as a sign of respect. If you're looking for something unique to add to your wedding day decor or funeral arrangements, consider using posies as options for floral centerpieces or urns. There are many varieties of posy bouquets available today.
