#44: Royal Wedding Bouquets Always Have Myrtle in Them
One of the longstanding traditions surrounding British royal weddings is the inclusion of myrtle in the bridal bouquet. This tradition dates back to the wedding of Queen Victoria’s daughter, Princess Victoria, in 1858 and has been followed by many royal brides since.
Myrtle is a fragrant flowering plant that is associated with love and marriage and is often used in wedding ceremonies as a symbol of fidelity and lasting love. By including myrtle in the bridal bouquet, royal brides are able to pay homage to this tradition and uphold the values and traditions of the British monarchy.
