A fitting tribute to royal bridal bouquets

Bridal bouquets are a quite a tradition that has been carried forward over many years till it finally embedded itself in the roots of wedding ceremonies and rituals all over the world. Every bride wants to feel good, look like a princess and walk the aisle with a bouquet that is beautiful and personalized to make it all the more special.

While, every woman want to marry a prince and have a royal wedding, a very few actually get to leave their dream. But what gets interesting here is, if one dares to look beyond the norms of perfume, expensive engagement rings, attire and nail polishes of the royal bride, there is a chance to find similarities and connections in wedding bouquets that make them as simple and conventional as normal brides. For instance, almost every royal bride has carried a sprig of myrtle in the arrangement along with white flowers
