' The young bride of ancient Rome wore a garland of orange blossoms in her hair and carried stalks of wheat, other grains or a basket of fruit to her wedding The flowers were symbolic of love in full bloom and fer tility while the grain or fruit represented a bountiful harvest for the bride and groom. During the Renaissance,, the bride also carried sheaves of grain along with flowers By th^ eighteenth century, however, the tradition remained for the bride to carry only flowers. Today's bride carries flowers as a symbol of love She decorates her surroundings with flowers and has flowers for her at tendants, her mother, the groom's mother and grandmothers The groom and his attendants each wear a flower in the lapel of their jackets For less formal weddings, the bride may carry a small bouquet, a nosegay, a basket of flowers or even a single flower or corsage.
