Myrtle (Wedding Myrtle) – Symbol of Purity and Tradition. Myrtle is an evergreen shrub that is inextricably linked with weddings in floristry. Its deep green, glossy leaves and delicate fragrance make it a traditional symbol of innocence, purity, and love. It is an indispensable accessory on a wedding day.
Florist's Expert View: Wedding Tradition As florists, we see myrtle as a symbol of tradition. It is the most classic element for wedding decorations. Its small leaves are perfect for creating fine details that tie the entire wedding decor together, from the bride's bouquet to accessories for the wedding guests.
Tip from Jana (Ceremonial and Wedding Arrangements Expert) "A wedding without myrtle is unimaginable for many. It's a beautiful custom. We prepare traditional buttonholes (boutonnieres) for the guests, use it to decorate the lapels of the groom and witnesses, and often gently incorporate it directly into the wedding bouquet so that everything matches perfectly."
