In the early 1600s in some cities of Europe, people bathed mostly on Fridays and according to another article published, many people only had bath once a year, in the month of May and weddings were planned in July. To ward off body odor, brides carried flowers (wedding bouquets) to cover any bad body smell.
Some believed that carrying herbal bridal bouquets on wedding day will ward off any eveil spirits. For this, these bouquets were made of strong pungent smelling herbs including garlic and other spices.

In olden times and across many cultures, a bridal bouquet brought by the bride signified abundance, prosperity and good health for the family she now enters into and becomes one with.
