Congratulations to the now Duke and Duchess of Cambridge the people of East Anglia will have a now closer alliance to the future king and queen of England.
I was pleased to find that Kate made her bouquet personal by carrying sweet William in her bouquet - how lovely.
Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge, paid tribute to her new hubby by including "sweet william" in her wedding bouquet.
The bouquet, as royal tradition dictates, also included a sprig from a myrtle bush planted by Queen Victoria on the Isle of Wight in 1845. Other flowers in the bouquet included hyacinth, lily-of-the- valley and ivy.
It was designed by Shane Connolly, also responsible for decorating the wedding venue Westminster Abbey with eight English maple trees.
The symbolism of the flowers used at the royal wedding:
- Sweet William - Gallantry
- Lilly-of-the-valley - Return of happiness
- Hyacinth - Constancy of love
- Ivy - Signifies fidelity, marriage, wedded love, friendship and affection.
- Myrtle - Emblem of marriage and love.
As a young couple embarking on married life together I wish them all of the above.
In terms of the wedding industry with many elements of the royal wedding influencing many couples choices for their big day, I'm pretty certain that these flowers will heavily influence bridal bouquets the world over for years to come.
Florists stand by!!!!!!!!
