In today's world, fashion is everywhere, including the florist industry. Florists and designers around the world are creating masterpiece designs using flowers. Flower crowns were first introduced in ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks introduced the crown as an honorary award to athletes, army victors, poets, and musical contestants. The crown was a signified of respect and achievement. Since the crown was introduced, many cultures have adopted the ideals and traditions of the symbolic headpiece. The ancient Chinese traditionally wore the crown, made of orange blossom flowers, at weddings as a symbol of fertility. During the Victorian era, Queen Victoria wore an orange blossom flower crown to her wedding in 1840. After that, the flower crown became associated with the wedding phrase “to gather orange blossoms,” which became associated with the meaning “to seek a wife.”
In today's culture, flowers are not just worn as crowns. The trend has evolved into necklaces, bracelets, and even dresses. Around the world, people are calling this new trend “Floral Couture.” Fashion shows are dedicated to florists’ and designers creating art from nature. This is a way for people to combine their love of flowers and fashion. People are saying floral couture is “another channel to explore creativity.” Design inspiration comes from different cultures, fashion, art, and everyday life. The inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere, all around the world.
