Duchess Kate’s custom bouquet was absolutely stunning. According to the Official Royal Wedding Website, it is comprised of a shield-shaped wired bouquet of myrtle, lily-of-the-valley and hyacinth, the bouquet "draws on the traditions of flowers of significance for the Royal Family, the Middleton family and on the Language of Flowers," As a nod to her new husband, Middleton included 'sweet William' blooms. The stems from a myrtle planted by Queen Victoria in 1845 are traditionally used in all royal wedding bouquets.
The bouquet flowers and their significance are:
Lily-of-the-valley - Return of happiness
Sweet William - Gallantry
Hyacinth - Constancy of love
Ivy - Fidelity; marriage; wedded love; friendship; affection
Myrtle - the emblem of marriage; love
Lily-of-the-valley - Return of happiness
Sweet William - Gallantry
Hyacinth - Constancy of love
Ivy - Fidelity; marriage; wedded love; friendship; affection
Myrtle - the emblem of marriage; love
