The current fascination with Victorian architecture, interior design, and fashion encourages consumers to use decorative accents in this motif, which includes floral products. General information on Victorian floral arrangement forms, mechanics, and media has vanished with the older amateur and professional florists. In this study, the historical method was used to find what characterized floral designs of the Victorian era.

520 $a The current fascination with Victorian architecture, interior design, and fashion encourages consumers to use decorative accents in this motif, which includes floral products. General information on Victorian floral arrangement forms, mechanics, and media has vanished with the older amateur and professional florists. In this study, the historical method was used to find what characterized floral designs of the Victorian era.
520 $a Important floral market centers during the Victorian era included London's Covent Garden and the New York Cut Flower Company. They supplied flowers directly to households or to flower shops, which then retailed the products. Upper-class household servants or estate gardeners grew their own floral crops and arranged flowers for various rooms of the home, including the dining room.
520 $a Changes in formal dining and serving customs eliminated large serving plates from the table and provided more surface area for decorations. Floral designs were deemed necessary in following Victorian orientation toward surface ornament. Floral symbols such as bells, yokes, and love knots were reserved for wedding parties and receptions.
520 $a Flowers used to adorn the body and to carry were used frequently. Tussie-mussie or posy bouquets were designed in intricate holders usually made of metals. Victorian florigraphy, the language of flowers, provided meanings for various plant materials. People could put together combinations of plant materials to create a message or request, all within a single bouquet.
520 $a Decorations made for church festivals and throughout the church year were important to parishioners. Churches at Christmastime were decorated with symbols, garlands, and wreaths.
520 $a Pastel and white flowers were used for the funerals of infants, young people, and women. Men's funeral designs held white and darker colored flowers. The death of the aged used sheaves of wheat and white or deep-toned flowers. Design forms consisted of standing lyres, harps, pillows, gates ajar, or unit combinations such as a cross and crown or a cross and wreath. The religious beliefs held by Victorians guided the themes of floral designs at funerals. Many designs depicted the profession of the deceased.
520 $a Dried flowers in the Victorian era were used for interior decorations and designs for graves. Artificial flowers were made from thin, colorful sheets of wax and molded by hand or over metal forms or paper.
520 $a Twenty-first-century florists can find benefits in antiquated mechanics. Aids such as wire domes provide direct sources of water and sturdy networks for bouquets. Moss-filled frames are environmentally friendly.
520 $a This information may be used in horticultural and floristry education at secondary-vocational, technical, and baccalaureate levels. Informal teaching settings for professional florists or amateurs could use this information in building historical design knowledge.
