You know how earlier I was pondering the existance of the flower bouquet? Well I was reading on Wikipedia that
A wedding bouquet of flowers or roses is an idea that was brought up years ago and then became a tradition. In times of royal class, the upper class were the fortunate ones to have bathtubs in their homes. Even with the honor of having the bath, they rarely used them. The Lower class was unable to afford this necessity, bathing was not part of the routine, and obtaining bad odor was common. When an upper class bride walked down the aisle, she was required to hold a bouquet of roses or flowers to prevent body odor from spreading.
