The History of Giving Flowers: A Timeless Gesture of Love

From ancient rituals to modern romance, giving flowers has always been a way to express deep emotions. Whether it's love, gratitude, or sympathy, a bouquet often says more than words. Here’s a brief journey through the history of flower-giving, with a focus on its romantic meaning.

Ancient traditions

In Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, flowers were offered to gods and used in ceremonies and funerals. The red rose, associated with the goddess Venus, was already seen as a symbol of love and beauty.

Medieval romance

During the Middle Ages, knights would give flowers to their beloved as tokens of admiration. It was part of the tradition of courtly love, where a flower served as a silent message of devotion.

The language of flowers

In the Renaissance and Victorian era, giving flowers became a true romantic code. Each flower carried a message: a red rose meant passion, a daisy symbolized innocence, and whole bouquets were sent to express hidden feelings.
