Floral Fashions: From Bouquets to Buttonholes

Ornate bouquet holders were worn for both function and fashion by women during the Victorian era (1837–1901). Over a dozen holders used to showcase posies that incorporated floral messages spelled out in the ‘language of flowers’ are displayed from Smithsonian Garden's collections.
