During her "captivity" Rolfe was instrumental in teaching her about
Christianity as he knew it from his own tradition, i.e., C of E.
I expect her baptism was a traditional Anglican baptism for that time as
well.
Flowers? Certain flowers and herbs were traditionally associated with
weddings, but as to their availability in seventeenth Virginia tidewater, I will
gladly defer to a botanical historian.
