One thing which has always been, and remains, charming about floristry, is that it has always been accessible to everyone. Flowers are our gift from nature. The Ancient Egyptians, famed for their design work, were no different when it came to floristry. Flowers were used in Ancient Egyptian culture for offerings and decoration. Their flowers of choice being the very beautiful and brightly coloured jasmine, poppies, roses, and water lilies. Flowers themselves have been around forever. Fossilised magnolias have been found dating back 93 million years. However, it's believed the Victorian's brought luxury to flower arranging. In the Victorian Era, roses were hugely popular in the UK, and the displays of them typically were very lavish held in huge silver vases, pride of place in the living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms of the wealthy.
