That in days gone by, giving someone an orange blossom meant the same as saying to them "your purity equals your loveliness?"
During the Victorian era, flowers adorned nearly everything...hair, clothing, jewelry, home decor, china plates, stationary, wallpaper, furniture and more. Scents of flowers had their own meanings and though the Victorians loved them, a gift of a scented handkerchief might be given in place of actual flowers.
The flower symbolism associated with the orange blossom is innocence, eternal love, marriage and fruitfulness.
