The history of flower arranging goes back a long way to ancient Egypt. There, flowers and their fragrance were considered a sign of the presence of the gods. The Greeks, on the other hand, usually gave flowers to young ladies to celebrate female beauty. No matter which culture you look at, flowers as a gift have always been highly regarded and part of good manners in society.
Victorian era
In the Victorian era, flowers were usually given as gifts to express feelings. People were usually unable to put their emotions into words, which is why they were reliant on the help of flowers. The presentation of the roses also had a meaning and always had to be respected. Roses that were held down during the handover could mean trouble in those times. That's why we still recommend that you always hold the flowers up so as not to send the wrong signals.
Flowers - the number 1 gift idea
