While the main theme of the big day is often dictated by the ceremony venue, it's also often the bride's bouquet that sets the trend for the day! A key piece in the collective wedding imagination, the bridal bouquet continues to feed passions and has a rich history. It is often the piece that requires the most care. Today, it takes on new and sometimes more original forms - sometimes jewelled, sometimes wild, with dried flowers, small or even XXL in size - but Madame's bouquet continues to evolve, while retaining its aura. Here's a brief summary of the history of the bridal bouquet, to help you make your choice.

Some date the appearance of the bridal bouquet back to Antiquity. It is said that in those days, women carried a bouquet of aromatic herbs such as thyme or chives with them on their wedding day, plants that were supposed to protect the young couple from evil spirits. The tradition of the bridal bouquet is said to have been imported to our latitudes in the Middle Ages, at the time of the Crusades. At that time, weddings were celebrated in the spring because of the proliferation of flowers, a favourable season for the composition of a beautiful country bouquet! In the XVIIIᵉ and XIXᵉ centuries, orange blossoms were the highlight of bouquets, due to their robustness and sweet smell. This characteristic made it virtually impossible for the flower to lose its petals. The bouquets were then dried and placed under cloches on red or blue velvet cushions, bearing witness to married life. They were thus part of the tradition of preserving the various wedding accessories.

In the twentieth century, the function of the bouquet evolved, and the purely aesthetic aspect was replaced by a symbolic one: in a sense, it encapsulated the enviable status of the bride, who was entering a world of love and happiness. The bouquet thus becomes the object of everyone's envy, and this is reflected in the famous bouquet toss, which, according to tradition, allows the lucky bride to be promised an engagement and an imminent marriage in her turn.

Today, it's time for originality and personalisation: bouquets represent the style of the couple holding them, and should be a creation in their own right, taking on their role as iconographic representatives. Like all the other elements of a wedding, they evolve with the trends. For the years to come, the bridal bouquet will be even wilder, but also more durable, especially in dried and stabilised flowers. More and more of the couples we meet are telling us that they want to be able to keep this exceptional piece, like their ancestors, centuries before them!

For the groom's buttonhole, select a flower from the bride's bouquet as a reminder, to be worn close to the heart.

In keeping with the country-chic trend, brides' hairstyles are also becoming wilder, adorned with flowers. Tiaras, headbands, minimalist crowns, barrettes and flowers scattered throughout the hair have become must-haves. We love making these floral jewels, and we use our dexterity, unrivalled expertise and meticulous attention to detail to assemble, braid and tame every little flower. Orchid blossom, mini-branch flower, white gypsophila, lily flower, berry, delicate greenery? Treat yourself!

When it comes to decorating your reception room, we always try to develop the following points during the meeting: the number of guests, the layout and shape of the tables, the style of cutlery used, the style and atmosphere of the room, the colour of the tablecloths, napkins, service and candles. Finally, we'll discuss the flowers you want on your tables, their style and durability. We put all our skills at your service to create a unique harmony and unity, so that the decoration is pleasant and successful.

The art of the table and entertaining is a gesture that we find in every culture, to embellish a moment of conviviality. In Greco-Roman civilisations, and throughout much of the Middle Ages, it was customary for the nobility to scatter flowers on the tablecloth or spread them on the floor under the guests' table. This multitude of fragrant flowers and foliage, such as lavender, rosemary and roses, was used to perfume the place when guests trampled on the plants.

From the 16th century onwards, with the appearance of new fruits, vegetables and plants, the art of cooking and meals became ever more refined. In Europe, the Baroque period was undoubtedly the wildest, richest and most opulent period, with tables overflowing with a mass of fruit and flowers assembled in sumptuous creations. Gradually, as the fashion for French-style service was abandoned in favour of Russian-style service, the space on the table became freer to accommodate baskets of flowers. Nowadays, flowers are given greater prominence on tables, and bulky decorations are presented using sellets or ceramic containers specially designed for the purpose.

The art of entertaining is still a time-honoured tradition, and flowers are often an integral part of the table setting. Whether you choose a small or large table decoration, with simple or sophisticated flowers, it's always the perfect complement to a meal. Whether it's an intimate gathering of a few or a more formal affair with a large number of guests, flowers add a delicate, cheerful touch to the whole table.

When it comes to colours, a judicious choice of harmony is of course essential, but feel free to express and fulfil YOUR desires. Over the years, the delicate art of weddings has moved away from the beaten track and traditional ‘all in white’. Pink and virginal white have now taken their place, and it's no longer unusual to see ceremonies decorated with floral arrangements in unusual shades, such as burgundy, plum, terra-cotta or duck blue.
