Paris
's most familiar landmark and arguably one of the more famous in the
world is the Eiffel Tower . It is difficult to understand today that
when it was first built (as only a temporary structure in 1889) it was
viewed as an eyesore to many Parisians.
Luckily for us, in the years to follow, the public and very critical
view of the industrial-like architecture changed immensely. Thus the
Eiffel tower's artistic and aesthetic values were acknowledged and the
tower's survival guaranteed.

Flowers
for Weddings in Paris
There are countless options of flowers for weddings in Paris that you
may choose from. As romantic as a flower can be – Paris is all that
and much more. Flowers are an important component to your perfect destination
wedding in Paris .
Besides all the different species of flowers available for your Paris
wedding, there are many different types of wedding bouquets as well.
For example, the Cascade or shower is a waterfall-like spill of blooms,
often composed of ivy and long-stemmed flowers. A classic bouquet is
a dense bunch of blooms that can be anchored in a bouquet holder, wired,
or hand-tied and a composite is a handmade creation in which different
petals or buds are wired together on a single stem to create the illusion
of a giant flower.
Next, there is the crescent which is composed of one full flower and
a flowering stem, often orchids, wired together to form a slender handle
that can be held in one hand. Nosegays which are a small, round bouquet,
approximately 16-18 inches in diameter and composed of densely packed
round flowers, greenery, and occasionally herbs have been a very popular
choice for bridal bouquets for generations.
Then there are pomanders which are a bloom-covered ball suspended from
a ribbon. Pomanders are an ideal choice for child attendants. Another
ideal selection for children is posies. Posies are smaller than nosegays
but similar in design and often include extras like ribbons or silk
flowers.
You
may also want to think about what is called a presentation or ‘pageant
bouquet.' This is a bunch of long-stemmed flowers cradled in the bride's
arms. Our final bouquet is the tussy mussy. Dating back to the Victorian
era, a tussy mussy is a posy carried in a small, metallic, hand-held
vase.
Whether you choose to have your Paris wedding in a church, on a veranda,
in a chapel, at the town hall or under the full bloom of a cherry tree
in a cobble stone courtyard, the flowers you choose should reflect you
