Something old, something blue, white dresses and bridal parties \u2013 did you ever wonder where all of these wedding traditions came from? As it turns out, there\u2019s an interesting origin story behind all of our favorite bridal customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck charms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Bride<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You’ve probably heard the traditional rhyme that talks about things a bride should wear on her wedding day. We looked into where this saying came from to find out why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something old: The idea of having something antique with you\non your wedding day is meant to represent continuity and ties to the bride\u2019s\nfamily and past. In days gone by, this good luck charm was also a way to ward\noff the evil eye and protect any future children of the couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something new: This represents the couples\u2019 new life\ntogether. It offers optimism for the future and allows the couple to bring\nsomething totally new into the ceremony as they embark on an exciting journey\ntogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something borrowed: This item is meant to come from a\nhappily married relative or friend, hopefully transferring some of those good\nvibes onto the married couple-to-be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something blue: The color blue stands for purity, faithfulness and love \u2013 some of the most important qualities we need for a successful marriage. Typically, brides wore a blue garter to ensure this tradition rang true, though in recent times brides have found many creative ways to incorporate their something blue into the big day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sixpence in your shoe: You may or may not have heard the traditional end to this rhyme, which includes keeping a coin in the bottom of the bride\u2019s shoe as a way to bring future prosperity to the new couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Close-up<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Even today, we tend to think of a white dress as being the obvious go-to for brides. This tradition actually started following the marriage of Queen Victoria to Albert of Saxe-Coburg. The Queen wore a white lace gown, and illustrations of the infamous dress were published widely across the country. Since then, white has been a popular choice for weddings in most European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The veil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Woman<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Before marrying for love became the norm, marriages were\ntypically used as a business arrangement. Families could join assets, make\npeace or seal agreements by planning an arranged marriage between the two.\nOften, the bride and groom met for the very first time at the alter. Brides\nwore a veil that was lifted only after<\/em>\nthe ceremony was complete, so the groom didn\u2019t have a chance to back out if he\nwasn\u2019t happy with his choice of bride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bridesmaids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Bride<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While bridesmaids are now a traditional addition to many wedding parties, the idea of having a group of girl friends standing next to the bride originally began as a way to ward off evil spirits. Bridesmaids<\/a> were generally handmaidens of the bride, who dressed similarly to her in order to confuse jealous suitors and vengeful supernatural creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best man<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Groom<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that the \u201cbest\u201d part of \u201cbest man\u201d originally\nreferred to the groomsman\u2019s swordsmanship? Back when marriages were still a\nbusiness arrangement, it was important to have a good swordsman around to help\nfind run-a-way brides or fend off disapproving family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bouquet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Bride<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is another wedding tradition based in the desire to prevent evil spirits from interfering. Rather than using flowers, bouquets in ancient times were stocked with aromatic herbs, spices and garlic to drive bad luck away from the soon-to-be-wife. Some historians also believe that bouquets may have been used to prevent catching the plague, as herbs were known as a common deterrent to this deadly disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ring bearer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The tradition of having a young child present the wedding\nrings to the bride and groom on a pillow most likely comes from superstitions\nabout fertility and innocence. The little one acts as a good luck charm for\nfuture children the couple may have together. The pillow is also said to\nrepresent the promise of \u201cdreams coming true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rice toss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tossing rice at the end of a wedding ceremony is reminiscent\nof rain pouring over the couple, offering a symbol of prosperity, fertility,\nand overall good luck. Alternative tossing materials in ancient times included\nwheat, oats and other seeds that displayed the same message of growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The garter throw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Originating in England and France, it was common for guests\nto search for a piece of the bride\u2019s dress to keep for good luck. The tradition\nof having the groom toss out the bride\u2019s garter gave the guests an opportunity\nto be a part of the fun without the bride getting overrun by those looking to\nsnatch up a piece of her wedding day outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
