In Greek mythology, the rose embodies both love and beauty, being the incarnation of the goddess of beauty and infused with the blood of the god of love.
Roses are a universal language expressing love worldwide, significantly heightened during Valentine's Day and cherished between lovers. Each rose color and quantity carries distinct significance.
When crafting the bridal bouquet, choosing a number with a positive connotation is essential. Bouquets of 11 or 22 roses are commonly used due to their close connection with weddings. Other meaningful numbers include:
Eleven roses signify a lifelong commitment to one person.
Nineteen roses: Symbolizing enduring love.
Twenty-two roses represent good fortune and pairs.
Thirty-three roses: Indicating eternal love throughout time.
Thirty-six roses: Symbolic of romance and happiness through you.
In Europe, behind every globally renowned royal wedding are the couple and diamond rings, the bride's rose bouquet, and the language of roses.
Originating from ancient Greek and Roman traditions and popularized by Queen Victoria, the bridal bouquet is not just a dazzling ornament but a symbol of luck and happiness.
The language of love expressed by roses always takes center stage in the bride's bouquet. In Western culture, the tradition prefers odd numbers, making 11 or 19 roses an established standard.
When the bride tosses the bouquet to her unmarried friends, it signifies the passing on of sweetness and the symbolic language of happiness.
The bridal bouquet is a romantic and aesthetic ornament and a beautiful carrier of the couple's happiness. Bridal bouquets can be ordered from flower shops or self-made, adding more significance. Let's look at a simple method for making a bridal bouquet and the typical flowers used.
Floral art is a devoted craft that allows everyone to unleash their imagination, whether in vintage or minimalist styles, emphasizing the unique and distinctive nature of their floral art.
1. Selecting flowers: Ensure no decay or disease in the leaves and freshly cut stem ends; fresh flowers without decay.
2. Post-purchase handling:
a. Immediately cut the flowers and place them in water. Cut at a 45-degree angle and ensure clean water.
b. Remove all excess leaves, thorns, and unsightly flowers or petals, clean the stems, and place them in water.
3. Arrange the necessary flowers, categorize them, and prepare scissors, a garbage bag, and tying ropes for use.
Follow a spiral technique while creating the bouquet. Ensure the grip point remains fixed and add flowers in a spiral manner.
Once the bouquet is completed, tie it securely with a rope and trim the flower branches in a 2:1 ratio.
4. Create a water bag by wrapping the base of the stem with glass paper (or another waterproof wrapping) and securing it with transparent tape. Finally, cover the bouquet with attractive packaging paper.
The rose speaks volumes of love and beauty in the language of flowers, encapsulating timeless sentiments. From bridal bouquets to symbolic gestures, its essence transcends boundaries, weaving tales of affection and joy, eternally blooming in hearts worldwide.
