At the time, these accessories were more than just ornaments. They carried silent messages, elegant gestures. Men chose their flowers as one chooses their words: a white carnation for a wedding, a red rose for a date, a rare orchid for a trip to the theater. Everything was symbolic. A flower in the buttonhole was a wink, a discreet declaration, a sign of delicacy.
And of course, this little glass vase completed this gesture. It protected the flower, but above all, it demonstrated special care, a subtle and romantic art of living .
When style combined with soul
Today, clothing style often rhymes with speed and practicality. A pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and off to work. But this little find made me want to slow down. To remind myself that sometimes, a simple detail can change an entire look. That elegance, the true kind, the kind that touches the heart, is hidden in the attention paid to what we don’t always see .
These little flower vases are no longer used, it’s true. But their memory remains. They remind me that beauty often lies in simple gestures , those we thought were forgotten.
A touch of poetry to reinvent
Today, these little vases sit proudly on my shelf, like glass treasures. Sometimes I look at them and wonder: what if we put a little of that poetry back into our daily lives? No need for a grand event. Just a flower, slipped into the hair, placed on a table, offered for no reason. A small gesture that costs nothing, but brings sweetness .
After all, why not bring back a hint of that era when every detail revealed an attachment to the beauty of everyday life ?
