In the centre Ages flowers (such as. Thyme or sage as well as lavender) decorated together with temples and homes -- these mostly herbs, which were to shock away evil powers (cinquefoil, Rue, St. John's wort, thyme) or bring love (roses, pansies, orchids, nots). The symbolism of flowers played here is critical. The compositions often done with myrtle, jasmine and boxwood, and flowers placed from the straight vessels were usually viewed in one side. Here, too, I reminded myself connected with reaching the ancient custom made of decorating with flowers newlyweds. Since the Renaissance, during the XVIth one hundred year, in florists evolved into symbolism devoid of decorative aesthetics direction parallel towards general stylistic transformations (such as. In the twentieth one hundred year. Bunches of Victorian, Art Nouveau or piled so-called dry flowers. Bouquet Biedermeier). In the Renaissance, bouquets became more great, appeared in them as new plants - arm or leg, strawberry, daisies. Flowers began to set the richly decorated earthenware as well as glass vessels, and floral motifs had been also adorned with decorative fabric. Also returned garlands (that is among the oldest, from Egypt) adorning the interior of rich houses. This baroque splendor as well as colors, an abundance of magnificence. From the seventeenth towards mid-eighteenth century compositions acquired symmetry and Baroque beloved colors were white, pink and red. The most commonly utilised in the compositions of flowers are: poppies, lilies, peonies, anemones, phlox, roses, dahlias, or irises, as well as tulip glasses, adored especially by residents with the Netherlands. Bouquets were usually embedded from the richly ornamented pots and vases manufactured from glass, stone or porcelain.
