Thank you Fabulous Events Linen Rental
Herbs have been used in weddings for many years... and with everyone thinking "GREEN" these days (more then ever) herbs are being used in bridal bouquets, favors and even in containers atop the tables as centerpieces. But, did you actually know the meaning of them. Here are a few along with their meaning:
Ivy: for fidelity. The Roman bride and groom were given a bough of these heart shaped leaves and trailing stems of ivy during the wedding ceremony.
Marjoram: the herb of joy, happiness and marital bliss. Marjoram was woven into the crowns and nosegays of the bride and her attendants by the ancient Greeks and Romans.
Myrtle: represents true love. Myrtle was the herb of the goddess of love, Venus. Venus used this herb's blossoms to fashion crowns and garlands for her followers to wear.
Rosemary: is for remembrance.
Rue: "to protect one from evil" According to some eastern European customs, the bride's mother would present her daughter with a pot of rue she had taken from her own garden, for the daughter to start hers.
Here area few other herbs: Angelica = Protection; Basil = Love; Chamomile = Wisdom; Chervil = Serenity; Chives = Usefulness; Dill = Good cheer, Survival; Lavender = Love/Devotion; Mint = Refreshment; Parsley = Merriment; Sage = Wisdom; Santolina = Virtue; Savory = Interest; Scented Geranium = Happiness; Sweet Basil = Good wishes; Tarragon = Permanence; Thyme = Courage & Strength; Violets = faithfulness
