In a tradition dating back to 1561 and the reign of French King Charles IX, friends and loved ones gift each other a sprig of muguet du bois (or Lily of the Valley) on the first of May to wish them luck and love. This delicate, floral motif is practically everywhere this season, so there are more lovely ways than ever to uphold this charming tradition. Which will you choose? And most importantly, who will be your lucky recipient? Sending you some virtual luck and love! XO, L
