Details of Kate Middleton's Bouquet

I was caught in cramped traffic in EDSA while the live telecast of  Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding yesterday. Helpless it may seem i just hve to browse my Facebook account to catch up with the updates. True enough all the updates were there as in every quarter of a minutes!

I was dying to see Kate's gown, her bridal bouquet and the ceremony set decor! I had a glance over my iPhone4 but the picture were small! then i realized the bouquet were really small and looks like a corsage. Im trying to decipher the flowers used in an instant t'was predominantly Lily of the valley twas wired forming a almost rain drop shop shape quite modern compared to cascading bouquet. When i got home I read other flowers used were white Sweet Williams, white hyacinth and Myrtle.

Yes theres a flowers named Sweet William really perfect for Prince William.  The overall look is SIMPLICITY yet elegant! the gown made by Sarah Burton, Alexander MacQueen's successor with a nice lace sleves and bodice compliments the texture of the bouquet. Although small bouquet, I think Kate did her research about victorian meaning of flowers its not how big the blooms are but the hidden meaning behind it!

Victorian meaning of flowers:

Lilly of the Valley - Return of happiness, purity of heart and sweetness
Sweet William - Gallantry, smile, finesse
Myrtle - Love ( the stems from a myrtle planted by Queen Victoria in 1845 are traditionally used in all royal weddings bouquets ) 
Hyacinth - Constancy of love.


The bridal bouquet made by Shane Connolly, also decorated Westminter Abbey with maple trees! Twas gorgeous!

Congratulations to future king and queen!!!
