In the middle Ages flowers (eg. Thyme or sage along with lavender) decorated together with temples and homes : these mostly herbs, which were to discourage away evil powers (cinquefoil, Rue, St. John's wort, thyme) or carry love (roses, pansies, orchids, nots). The symbolism of flowers played here is vital. The compositions often done with myrtle, jasmine and boxwood, and flowers placed in the straight vessels were usually viewed from side. Here, too, I reminded myself regarding reaching the ancient personalized of decorating with blooms newlyweds. Since the Renaissance, during the XVIth centuries, in florists evolved into symbolism without the need for decorative aesthetics direction parallel for the general stylistic transformations (eg. In the twentieth centuries. Bunches of Victorian, Art Nouveau or stacked so-called dry flowers. Bouquet Biedermeier). In the Renaissance, bouquets became more fantastic, appeared in them seeing that new plants - arm or leg, strawberry, daisies. Flowers began to place the richly decorated earthenware along with glass vessels, and floral motifs were also adorned with attractive fabric. Also returned garlands (that is among the oldest, from Egypt) adorning the interior of rich houses. This baroque splendor along with colors, an abundance of beauty. From the seventeenth for the mid-eighteenth century compositions gained symmetry and Baroque favorite colors were white, pink and red. The most commonly employed in the compositions of blooms are: poppies, lilies, peonies, anemones, phlox, roses, dahlias, or irises, as well as tulips, adored especially by residents on the Netherlands. Bouquets were usually embedded in the richly ornamented pots and vases created from glass, stone or porcelain.
