Penny’s By Plaza Flowers was the florist of choice for Caitlin and Michael. All flower arrangements for their recent wedding in Hallam, PA were handled by the professionals at Penny’s By Plaza Flowers. Our wonderful floral arrangements were front and center during the wedding and for the reception. When a Bride and Groom plan their wedding nothing can be left to chance. It is a precious time in their lives and one that signifies their life time bond. Did you know that the tradition of wedding flowers began back in ancient Greek and Roman times? Back then both the Bride and the Groom wore crowns and garland. The flowers they chose symbolized different attributes. For instance , Ivy was worn by brides and symbolized eternal love and fidelity. Orange blossoms symbolized fertility because the tree’s fruits and flowers bloom simultaneously. Caitlin’s bridal bouquet was stunning thanks to Penny’s by Plaza Flowers and the thoughtful precision with which their professional floral designers prepared the wedding bouquet.

Have you ever pondered the history behind why a bride carries a bouquet? A little research reveals some interesting data. So back in the 15th century, brides really had not been introduced to daily hygiene. Meaning that annual baths were held in May. To make matters worse, the women took their baths after the men had theirs. Consequently, most weddings were held in June! Thus the reason for the fragrant floral bouquet. Another theory was that the bouquet would ward off evil spirits so obviously those wedding bouquets were not very pleasant to the sense of smell since they were made from herbs such as dill and most likely other pungent herbs like garlic and chives. Personally I am in favor of some of the more positive attributes of the wedding bouquet like making the newly weds frisky or to send a sweet message. In Victorian times the wedding bouquet would be chosen by the groom and the selection of flowers he used would provide a coded message of sweet love to his bride to be. Similarly, brides would choose flowers to send a coded message to their husbands to be. You can find other purposes for the bridal bouquet but I think it is fair to say the wedding bouquet Penny’s Flowers prepared for Caitlin is nothing short of spectacular and smelled of fresh cut sweet flowers!
