Hi List,
I am writing about a winter wedding in 1830 New England. What might a bride
carry in lieu of a bouquet? My fuzzy California brain remembers/ guesses
something like "bittersweet," which I assume is a woody herb?
It might be imported orange blossoms, but I think those are later.
In need of floral costuming,
