In Which Culture Did the Carrying of a Bouquet Originate_____?
A) Japanese B) Roman C) African
If you answered (B) Roman, you answered correctly. You see in the Early Roman wedding tradition, brides carried a bunch of herbs, made
from garlic and or rosemary, (later came the orange blossom) under their veils which was a symbol of fidelity and fertility and to ward off evil.
Today instead of using the herbs, today’s brides use the modern bridal bouquet.
