Best Quirky FLOWER Photos

Did you know that the bridal bouquet as we know it started with Queen Victoria in 1840?
In the Victorian era there was a popular book by Charlotte de Latour called “Le Langue de Fleurs” (The Language of Flowers). At a time when strict etiquette forbade couples from speaking openly, flowers were used as a way to communicate feelings and intentions. From then on, flowers were chosen based on their symbolism - roses for love & passion; lilies for devotion; orchids for fertility; hydrangeas for honesty; peonies for happiness and so on.
Flowers have been a key visual aspect of weddings since Roman times, where garlands represented fertility, fidelity, and new beginnings. Although during the Middle Ages, herbs & spices were added to banish evil spirits. Modern bouquets can be personalised based on the colour, shape, scent or symbolism, while providing a lush visual effect. And what could be more perfect for a photographer than that?
Oh and we almost forgot to mention the ever-popular bouquet toss, this activity always produces fun shots!
