Flower Posies

The History of the Flower Posy

• Choosing the right posy. People would scour flower fields to select the right flower and colour to use in the bouquet. Red and pink flowers, such as roses and chrysanthemums, were often used as a sign of love, while white flowers, such as lilies, were given for sympathy.
• Putting it all together. Once they have suitable flowers, they remove any remaining foliage and arrange the flowers by size and colour. They often used greenery to break up the colour pallet so that it isn’t overwhelming in both scent and hues.
• Change over time. While back in medieval times, posies were small enough for women to wear in their hair and for men to attach to their shirts, they tend to be bigger now.
