In the center Ages flowers (like. Thyme or sage and lavender) decorated together with temples and homes - these mostly herbs, which were to daunt away evil powers (cinquefoil, Rue, St. John's wort, thyme) or deliver love (roses, pansies, orchids, nots). The symbolism of flowers played here is vital. The compositions often executed with myrtle, jasmine and boxwood, and flowers placed inside the straight vessels were usually viewed collected from one of side. Here, too, I reminded myself regarding reaching the ancient custom of decorating with plants newlyweds.
Since the Renaissance, during the XVIth hundred years, in florists evolved into symbolism lacking decorative aesthetics direction parallel towards the general stylistic transformations (like. In the twentieth hundred years. 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 - limb, strawberry, daisies. Flowers began to put the richly decorated earthenware and glass vessels, and floral motifs were also adorned with decorative fabric. Also returned garlands (that is just about the oldest, from Egypt) adorning the interior of rich houses.
This baroque splendor and colors, an abundance of elegance. From the seventeenth towards the mid-eighteenth century compositions accumulated symmetry and Baroque favourite colors were white, pink and red. The most commonly used in the compositions of plants are: poppies, lilies, peonies, anemones, phlox, roses, dahlias, or irises, as well as tulips, adored especially by residents from the Netherlands. Bouquets were usually embedded inside the richly ornamented pots and vases created from glass, stone or porcelain.
