“The tradition of Globe de Mariée Display pieces began in France, in the 1800’s. It was a display for married couples, to preserve their wedding souvenirs as well as tell the story of their wedding & life together. Placed prominently in the formal dining room, it held the Bride’s Crown, or Tiara, as well as her Wax Floral Bouquet. The bride & groom chose items for their personalized display such as mirrors, porcelain pieces, and ormolu {gold plated} cut-outs. Each was a symbol that told the story of the bridal couple. The number of small diamond-shaped mirrors represented the number of children the couple hoped for.” frenchgardenhouse.com
