==============================

The meaning of myrtle:

The history of the myrtle wreath goes back to ancient times. In Roman mythology, the myrtle was consecrated to Venus, the goddess of love, and in Greek mythology to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. Therefore, the branches of the myrtle are considered a symbol of love beyond death, but also of virginity, vitality and many healthy children.

With this symbolism it is obvious that a bride was already decorated with a myrtle wreath in ancient times by the Greeks and Romans. In the 16th century this custom also found its way into Germany. Thus myrtle crowns were worn at weddings and wedding anniversaries, and for the gentlemen there was the matching pin. After the wedding, a twig was stuck into the earth from the bride's myrtle wreath to root it. The evergreen plant was meant to symbolize lasting marital bliss.
