History

Flower arrangements for home or building decoration have a long history all over the world. The oldest evidence of the formal arrangement of wreaths in a vase comes from ancient Egypt, and the depiction of the date flowers to the Old Kingdom (~ 2500 BC). The sacred lotus is often used, such as herbs, palms, iris, anemones, and narcissus.

In some cultures, ancient practices still survive to this day, for example in ikebana, the art of flower arranging from Japan. The oldest book on flower arranging is Japanese and dates from 1445. Simplicity and a linear form are the core features of ikebana, which have had a major influence on Western flower arrangements since the late nineteenth century.

Flower arrangement as an art form was brought to Japan by monks, who studied it in China. In ancient China, flower arranging developed into a very fine art form, based on the principle that life is sacred, including plant life, therefore cut flowers are used sparingly in carefully planned arrangements. Flowers are a traditional ritual offered among Buddhists, however, and remain so.

In Europe, flower arrangement as the first formal art was documented among the Dutch, who "in particular, painted beautifully informal flowers [...] In the 18th century, arrangements were used to decorate the homes of wealthy families and aristocracies. "

The symbolism of interest is common in many cultures, and can be tricky. In China, certain flowers symbolize the seasons: white plum flowers symbolize winter, peach flowers and cherry blossoms symbolize spring, lotus symbolizes summer, and autumn chrysanthemum flowers.

Nosegay

The term "tussie-mussie" is sometimes used interchangeably with nosegay. A nosegay is also known as a "talking bouquet" or "poesy flower" during the Victorian era, when they became popular gifts. Traditionally, the bride will also bring a small nosegay. Tussie mussies was introduced to England in the early 18th century, and was a fashionable accessory for young women in the early 19th century. A tussie mussie is a small circular bouquet like a nosegay, but it carries symbolic meaning based on flower language, in which certain flowers represent certain sentiments. They are generally exchanged by lovers, who send messages to each other based on the flowers used in the bouquet. Traditionally, mussi tussie is arranged in a splinter-shaped container, made of tin or silver, with a chain bound to carry the bouquet.

Language of interest

The symbolism of interest originates in Asia and the Middle East, where certain flowers, such as lotuses, are considered sacred, or at least attributed to spiritual themes. This is often reflected in works of art, such as the use of bamboo in Chinese art to represent longectivity and immortality. The language of interest was introduced to England in the early 18th century by Mary Wortley, Lady Montague, whose husband was the Ambassador to Turkey. In the Victorian era, almost every flower has a special meaning attached to it. Small nosegay or "tussie mussie" wreaths may include chamomile flowers, which a woman may send to a romantic interest to tell her "Patience"; goldenrod represents indecision.
