A Charleston Tradition: The Palmetto Rose

Dating back to the Civil War, the Palmetto Rose has been a symbol of everlasting love and devotion.  Before a lady's true love departed for war, they would weave this special rose from the leaves of the State's tree - the Palmetto.  Soldiers would tuck them into their hats and ride off to battle with this token of devotion that was to keep them safe from harm
Here in Charleston, this beautiful creation is alive and well and can be seen downtown Charleston along the Market.  While many visitors purchase these items as a memento of their visit, many brides are incorporating them into their wedding decor.  
In centerpieces and bouquets to boutonnieres and party favors,  these unique roses offer a touch of Charleston charm to any wedding.  
The Palmetto Rose - a beautiful keepsake for your next event.
