Background Art

[2] A bouquet used in auspicious events, such as a wedding ceremony, is formed by binding beautiful flower members which are made of real flowers, artificial flowers, or candies, and has a grip portion which is conveniently carried by a user.

[3] As the bouquet is the symbol of a bride in the wedding ceremony, a flower member is made by carefully caring flower sprays one by one so as to maximize flamboyance and beauty. In particular, since the construction of a flower base extended from the grip portion has influence on the impression of the entire bouquet, it is required for careful thought and originality in the bouquet design.

[4] After a lapse of a desired time, as the bouquet elaborately made with a flourish is decolorized, as well as being withered and then dried, long preservation is not possible. Consequently, a souvenir capable of ruminating a happy memory for a long time while the bouquet used in the most auspicious occasion, such as wedding ceremony, for life is kept for a long time should be thrown away as it is.
