Let's knot doubt our love...
Filed under: Flowers, Wedding Lore/Traditions
The bouquets of the Roaring 20s tended to the large. In fact, many of them were outright huge. In addition to all those flowers, the were lush with ribbons. To our modern eye, they might have appeared tangled, untidy even, but that was because they would be knotted every inch or two. The knot, you see, is a symbol of love. Traditional brides would repeat their name and the name of their groom-to-be three times for each knot, binding the two together in happy union forever. If you don't think you have quite the budget for an immense bouquet, perhaps you can manage a few yards of knotted ribbon!
