They were traditionally used as a part of a matchmaking tradition, where single men would approach single women and offer them flowers. If the flower was accepted, the young man could venture to the young woman’s house to speak with her parents. He would send baskets of lettuce leaves and flowers ahead of himself. Bring this tradition to life by decorating trays with fancy lettuce leaves and bold colored flowers. It will add beautiful imagery to the home and help tie in the past and present.
