It's been a minute... so let's do a Wedding Wednesday! ❄✨💍
Here’s a jaw-dropper: In 16th-century Europe, bridal bouquets weren’t just for decoration—they were meant to mask body odor! 😱
Back then, people bathed far less frequently, and weddings were often held in the spring after a long, unwashed winter. Brides would carry fragrant herbs and flowers, like garlic and dill, to cover up any unpleasant smells. Some of these herbs were also believed to ward off evil spirits, making the bouquet both practical and superstitious! 🌿💐
