Some wedding traditions are newer than you think. For instance, diamond wedding rings are a 20th century thing. But wedding bouquets aren’t new. In fact, clutching bound bunches of dill and garlic were thought to protect brides from the plague many centuries ago.

Since the era of inoculations, brides have been toting more aromatic displays of flowers, but the meanings of the flowers themselves harken back to Victorian days. Back then, sending flowers conveyed hidden meanings.
The latest trend in wedding bouquets has been to make them out of other objects off affection, that are longer-lasting than flowers. Samantha Howard, a designer at Wings Hawaii, says she’s been making bouquets of antique lace that can take up to three weeks of work. Other bouquets of beads, silk flowers or shells are also popular.
