Flowers and Decorations Marriage Renaissance

The Giglio Fiorentino

As a symbol for a wedding if not the Renaissance Giglio Fiorentino?

Also called Lily, a symbol of the French aristocracy also used at the court of Lorenzo de Medici, this flower is nothing other than the lily, which is exposed in various shapes and colors as a symbol of the Renaissance nobility. He can be found depicted in various paintings and sculptural decorations.

The lily has three petals, each of which symbolizes something different. Biblically is the symbol of Holy Trinity. Many writers associated with the petals to the meaning of faith, wisdom and chivalry. All aspects can be used as inspiration for a m

elegant and original atrium.

Unfortunately in Italy I found these symbols only on the site of the Florentine (football team, since it is their symbol), while abroad, as in the US (particularly in Louisiana and New Orleans founded by the French) This symbol appears anywhere, the web is full of shops selling items for marriage with the symbol Fleur de Lys. By placeholders, marks the tables, from jewelry and pendants, to Wedding Invitations, from glasses to toast the bride and groom to the crosses for churches and houses.
