What is Floral Decoration?
Florid decoration (which we generally call floral) is the simple art of embellishing indoor or outdoor space with plant material. These decorations have been associated with human history for a long time.
Egypt has the reputation of using flowers since the earliest times in human history. The Egyptians started decorating with flowers as early as 2500 BC. The Greeks and the Romans also used a lot of flowers.
The Chinese used flowers for decorations as early as 207 BC. The common flowers used included hyacinths, honeysuckle, violets, and lilies. Tulips, marigolds, and larkspur were also used.
From curtains to table cloths, to wallpapers, florid patterns can be used on almost any surface or material.
