At AIFD<\/a> this summer, Accent Decor had the honor of sponsoring the presentation of the British Academy of Floral Art <\/a>by providing resources, floral vases<\/a> and wedding vases<\/a> to help bring their vision to life on stage for those in attendance.<\/p>\n

The wonderful ladies chose to walk the AIFD audience through the techniques, inspiration, methodology, and exploration of floral design through history and especially how it was represented in royal weddings.

Elizabethan Era – 16th Century wedding trends in floral design<\/h3>\n

While Queen Elizabeth I never married, Jo Jarvis, AIFD, found it necessary to start the presentation off in the 16th century as quite a few of the floral practices established then are still used today.<\/p>\n

The pomander (or posy) shows up every now and then, especially as something a flower girl would carry, but during the 16th century, it was customary for brides to carry ones made of herbs. During a time of poor hygiene, the perfumed ball of plants would act as a personal air freshener.

Jo also mentioned that an updated take on the pomanders would be to take away the flowers we’re used to seeing today, and replace them with succulents as pictured above. In the end, a bride or bridesmaid would have a memento that keeps growing.<\/div>\n
