Wildflowers were gathered from hedgerows for country maids who wove them<br />

into dainty circlets with vines like ivy, but Queen Victoria created the fashion for<br />

a crown of fragrant orange blossom by wearing one for her wedding in 1840. Orange<br />

blossom represented both purity and fruitfulness. When real orange blossom<br />

was unavailable, wax replicas were created instead and became very popular in the<br />

1920’s.<br />

romantic boho fashions, garlands, wreaths and crowns continue to make headlines<br />

this bridal season, with or without a veil.
