Portbouquet ( porte-bouquet) - Flower holder. Historical note: In the 1800s, it was completely indecent for a lady or girl to appear in the world without a bouquet of flowers in her hands or hair, or attached to a dress on her chest or waist. But the flowers wither quickly and it is somehow unpleasant to dance at the ball with a withered bouquet, whether it is in the hands or acts as part of a costume. In addition, the stems can leave an unpleasant stain. To get out of such a delicate situation, they came up with a portbouquet, a special case or a tiny vase for a bouquet.

Портбукет.
Портбукет (porte-bouquet) - Держатель цветов. Историческая справка: В 1800-е года даме или девушке совершенно неприлично было явиться в свете без букета цветов в руках или волосах, либо прикрепленного к платью на груди или талии. Но цветы быстро вянут и как-то малоприятно танцевать на балу с завядшим букетиком, неважно в руках он, или выступает как часть костюма. К тому же стебли могут оставить неприятное пятно. Для выхода из столь щекотливого положения придумали - портбукет, специальный футляр или крохотная вазочка для букета.
