The earliest form of flower arranging begins with the ancient Egyptians and dates back as far as 2,500 B.C. This is illustrated with the carved stone relief’s that were left behind as well as the painted wall decorations.
Historical records indicate that the ancient Egyptians placed cut flowers in vases. In addition, flower arrangements were an important component of their culture, and highly stylized arrangements were used during burials, for processions, and simply as table decorations as well.

The flowers used for the arrangements made by the ancient Egyptians were carefully selected according to their symbolic meaning, with an emphasis placed on religious meaning. The lotus flower or water lily, for example, is considered to be sacred to the Goddess Isis, and was therefore, often included in flower arrangements. Other flowers that were popular during ancient Egyptian times included the papyrus plant and the palm tree.
Continuing on through history we come upon the Greeks and Romans who also had a passion for flowers, though they did not often use vases or pots. Rather, they concentrated more on making garlands and wreaths. They also enjoyed tossing petals onto the floor and onto beds. Like the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans had their preferences when it came to the flowers and foliage they used.
