how about investing in a protagonist tone?

Records from Ancient Egypt, however, show flowers and herbs embellishing various ceremonies, also serving as decoration for the wedding feast among other festivities. In the Middle Ages, the brides were gifted with herbs and other plants on the way to the priest and groom, reaching the end with the bouquet formed against the envy of others. The tradition would have been perfected over time until giving way to the flowers for an unromantic reason: to help disguise the couple’s stench!

The release of the arrangement is even one of the most iconic and expected moments of the wedding party. Of such importance, the flowers that form it are carefully chosen. Among the trends is that of monochrome bouquets, i.e. of one colour.
