Freesia—What a beautiful scent and flower!

A flower that is soft and feminine just like your special day should make you feel. 

The bridal bouquet, nosegay, was actually started because humans did not bathe very often so the bride would carry a very small bouquet of flowers in front of her nose to ward off unpleasant smells.  The freesia would have been perfect, but was not easily found in the European countries.  They did carry herbs and orange blossoms though, these were easily enough to find.

Freesia comes in lavender, yellow, white, and orange. 

It is dainty enough for the bride, but sturdy enough for a boutonniere as well.
