Clothing Curiosities & Fun Facts
WEDDING BOUQUETS...MORE REALISTIC THAN ROMANTIC
这段视频讨论了一些关于婚礼的爱情, there's quite a few traditions in weddings that have interesting origins; let's look a little closer at the flower bouquets...
一般来说，没有人会怀疑花束是可爱的, even more so at weddings, and are seen as part of the bride's outfit; many considerations and symbolic meanings can go into the bridal bouquet. 从颜色的选择到鲜花的种类，它们都是婚礼不可或缺的一部分. This has been true throughout history as well, 新娘捧着的花束更实用一些, yet still held symbolic meaning to the new couple. Ancient Greeks, 埃及人和其他人认为，携带某些植物可以抵御疾病和邪恶的灵魂. 有时草药会成为发型的一部分，有时则作为花束携带. Rosemary was for loyalty, dill was believed to increase lust, thyme and basil would be for luck and fertility and so on; there are a number of others as this practice crosses many cultural and ethnic historical backgrounds globally. The herbs could then be used in the wedding feast, 晒干以后再用，或者带回家种在花园里. 这些关于婚礼花束的信仰和传统从中世纪一直延续到维多利亚时代, 当时年轻的伊丽莎白女王在婚礼上拿着一小束鲜花而不是香草，从而开创了另一种潮流!
花束的另一个有趣的用途可以看作是它的另一个实用功能. 而今天的婚纱在很大程度上只有一个目的, 它们不像几百年前那样被撕成碎片. During the Medieval Era in Europe, and most likely earlier, after the ceremony was over the bride would be chased by people that would rip the wedding dress apart and keep the pieces as part of a fertility ritual; not only for the new couple but for the people involved in the ripping. The dress pieces were seen as a sort of good luck. 新娘携带的花束被扔向追逐新娘的人群，作为一种诱饵，让人们在新娘试图逃跑的时候追赶花束.
需要提到的是，这种刺激性的草药也可能被用来掩盖任何气味吗? Whether or not a bouquet has flowers, herbs, or other plants like ferns, 尽管如此，如今它仍被视为新娘仪式不可或缺的一部分, more decorative than utilitarian. It is still an investment for a young couple, 现在一束花的平均价格在200美元左右.
