Wedding Traditions

Old, New, Borrowed and Blue

One of the most common wedding traditions is the having something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue as good luck! ‘Something old’ is an honour to where you come from… your family. A chance to represent your family heritage. ‘Something new’ is to symbolise your future with your partner. ‘Something borrowed’ is similar to ‘old’ as it typically is an item belonging to a family member or friend as a good luck charm. Lastly ‘something blue’ is for fidelity and purity. 

 

The Garter and Bridal Bouquet Toss

What’s a wedding without some fun! The garter and bridal bouquet toss is a tradition that hasn’t been lost and still used in many weddings today. In most weddings the bride will toss her bouquet at the single ladies first, and then the groom will remove the garter and toss it to the single men. Traditionally, the woman who catches the bouquet will then have to sit down with the man who caught the garter.
