As a huge fan of Lily of the Valley and Kate Middleton's, I am in love with her wedding bouquet! I am so thrilled that Kate is so naturally beautiful, yet ultra glamourous! Her elegant wedding style is sure to have a huge impact on the wedding industry! So exciting!
Here is more about her wedding bouquet:
Kate's simple yet elegant bouquet was designed by Shane Connolly - a florist based in Kensington - and included myrtle, lily-of-the-valley, hyacinth and Sweet William.
The flowers were chosen for their meaning and their significance to the Royal Family, the Middleton family and with a nod to the language of flowers.
Lily-of-the-valley signifies a return of happiness, hyacinth means constancy of love and ivy is for fidelity.
Sweet William stands for gallantry - and, of course, was added to celebrate the groom.
Kate's bouquet is also believed to have contained stems from a myrtle planted by Queen Victoria in 1845, as well as a sprig from the myrtle used in the Queen's wedding bouquet of 1947.

I love how she incorporated the language of flowers throughout the whole day and the lovely sentimental details. "Sweet William" is my favorite
I too, loved the meaning of all the blooms in the bouquet! I did think it was a little too small though, so it just didn't read well on TV for me. I'm sure it was amazing up close though (lily of the valley is so delicate and lovely!).
