Throughout history, flowers and herbs have held many meanings, including those signifying love and affection. For example, rosemary is traditionally the herb of friendship, so it was most fitting that a friend gave me my first cutting of rosemary. Not only can I enjoy the fresh taste of rosemary, but now I’ll also always think of her whenever I brush against the plant, which emits a delightful fragrance.

So, why do we include flowers in weddings? Do they just add color and interest to the facility, or do they bring the outdoors inside? Is it because they hold not only meanings about the plant itself, but perhaps also act as reminders of our own previous social encounters? The life cycle of plants mimics human existence, and the display gives visual cues to memory.
