The Romantic Look of Victorian Floral Arrangements

The Victorian era is popular today when it comes to home decor and weddings. People want a look that is romantic and timeless and this type of design is just that. The Victorian era was in the time of Queen Victoria in the mid to late 19th century. It came after the time of the colonization of America, which was a sparse time when people couldn't be bothered with frivolities like flowers. Victorian floral arrangements, however, were lush and resplendent. One reason for this was because Victorian ladies enjoyed painting pictures of flower arrangements.

All proper young ladies learned to paint flower arrangements, and their work was often used to promote seed sales. Some of the flowers found in a Victorian style arrangement might include the zinnia, geranium and dahlia. During this age, flowers were not only painted but placed around the home as a form of decoration. In the Victorian flower arrangement, flowers didn't stand alone. There was often other adornments added to the arrangement such as flowers, fruit and even feathers. Even furniture was adorned with carvings and paintings of flowers. The Victorian age could definitely be called 'the age of the flower.'

Many of today's leading online florists have bouquets and arrangements reminiscent of the Victorian period. One such florist is FTD. They offer the Victorian Rose Ribbon box which features gorgeous miniature roses in a feminine wooden planter. Another popular arrangement that can be purchased online is the Victorian Splendor Rose Plant from 1800Flowers. This arrangement also features miniature roses. The container is handpainted tin which gives it an antique look. You may have noticed that both of these arrangements are miniature roses. Roses -- miniature and otherwise -- were popular during this time.

Whether you make your own Victorian floral arrangements or order them from a florist, the keyword is romance. Your bouquet should be lush and full, with large flowers that feature healthy blossoms. As mentioned earlier, popular flowers include rose, zinnia, geranium, dahlia and more. White gardenia is yet another good choice for a Victorian style bouquet. Add adornments like faux feathers and wax fruits for an authentic look. Another important part of the arrangement is the vase. Handpainted wood and tin make the perfect container for your romantic flower arrangement. Of course, you can never go wrong with a beautiful clear crystal vase, either!
