The final ceremony, or “bouquet final,” is a long-standing tradition in the construction trade, celebrating the completion of the structural phase by placing a decorated branch or tree adorned with flowers atop the structure.
This age-old ritual originates from the guilds of craftsmen & traces back to ancient tree-worship customs in Northern Europe. When a tree was felled for construction, a branch was kept to adorn the building, honoring the spirit of the sacrificed tree & invoking its protection.
