Flowers have been used as decorations for centuries and floral design traces far back in the history of the world.  Two different styles or floral design began around the same time period, on in Egypt and another in Asia.  Egyptians started the occidental style of flower arrangements which were later developed by Europeans to become the traditional floral design of our time.  At same time the oriental style of arrangement was formed in Asia.  The oriental style is still popular within Asia and can be found mildly in other nations of the world.  These two ancient examples show us that the beauty of flowers has been appreciated world wide for centuries. 

Egyptians first developed the idea of cutting flowers and placing them in holders for decoration.  Depictions of this can be found in many writings and even in the wall art found in tombs of Egyptian royalty.  Beautiful and elaborate vases have been found at archeological sights throughout the country.  Simple floral arrangements containing flowers, leaves and branches are found in many places throughout Egyptian history.  Many bright colored flowers were used as decoration, not only in vases but also in the decoration of pottery.  Flowers were placed in un-dried pottery in elaborate patterns for decoration.  

Ancient Greek cultures also participated in flower arranging and decoration when the idea of floral design spread.  Though they did not arrange flowers in vases, much Greek mythology depicts the use of flowers on important occasions. It was here that flowers became popular decorations in wedding ceremonies.  For many festivals flower petals were scattered on the ground and garlands were made to be worn around the neck or head.  The idea of wreaths also originated from Greece as a symbol of loyalty and devotion.   Greeks were also the first to use flowers in a funeral ceremony, and flowers were arranged on the grave of the deceased.  

Taking from both the Egyptian and Greek styles Europeans thrived in floral design during the Renaissance period.  Flowers were elaborately arranged in vases, large or small.  This is the time period where flower arrangements truly became an art.  People began to make floral arrangement their occupation and many individuals went to floral designers for their floral needs.  Flowers were also worn for festivals, pageants or important occasions in garlands around the neck or wreaths around the head.  Many ideas and styles that originated in this time period are still used.  

From the Renaissance onward the art of flower arrangement grew and became popular on all continents and for many different occasions.  Flower arrangements have become elaborate and expressive using many flowers, some which have come to represent different things.   Flowers have come to play an important part in wedding ceremonies, funerals, birthdays, and other celebrations world wide.  And though there are many styles world wide, there is a now a style of floral arrangement that is perfect for every occasion.
