Wedding Traditions and Superstitions – Part 2

History of Wedding Favors
Wedding favors have become an important part of marriage celebrations around the world. The tradition dates back thousands of years. Favors were given to guests in appreciation for sharing in the newlyweds’ special day.
Wedding favors are as diverse as the cultures surrounding them and the different cultures have different favors. Though there are a lot of differences, many of the traditions are similar. For example, it is quite common for many cultures to provide each guest with a wedding favor that contains five candies. Each piece of candy is a symbol of the five common wedding wishes: health, wealth, happiness, long life and fertility.
Favors are considered among the most important wedding accessory and range from very unique to practical. Chocolates, picture frames, candles and candle holders are some of the most popular wedding favors. Many brides today try to make some sort of a statement with their favors. Personalized wedding favors provide an especially effective way to display a brief message to the reception guests.
Historically favors were usually in the form of sugar, which was a very expensive product, so favors were commonly given by the upper class only. These sugary treats were nicely packaged and presented to guests at celebrations such as weddings, birthdays and christenings. When sugar became accessible to everyone, the custom of giving favors became wide spread. The most common sugared treat was the almond because of the symbolism behind it. Almonds represent the bitter aspects of life and the sugar represents the sweetness of life. Today, the tradition of giving five sugared almonds is still practiced. Many brides package them in netting, favor boxes, tins and gift bags.
Bridal Showers
Wedding showers derived from the time when men would prove their intent by bringing gifts to the bride’s father. Livestock, food, land, cloth and money were given to the bride’s family as "payment" for the bride. Eventually, this ritual evolved into men giving gifts of enticement to the daughter to show he was a man of good intentions. Fabric for clothes, the finest dishes and gold and jewels would prove that groom to be could provide a good home for her and their future children.
Some believe the tradition began in Holland when a poor couple was denied the bridal dowry because of the groom’s lowly status as a miller. The groom’s friends showered the bride with gifts to help them set up housekeeping, which evolved through the years into the tradition we now practice today,
Today, friends of the bride and groom ‘shower’ the bride (and sometimes the groom) with gifts to start their new lives together. It is believed to be good luck if the first gift the bride opens at her shower is the first gift she uses after the wedding.
Bachelor Parties
Bachelor parties originated with the soldiers of ancient Sparta. The groom feasted with his male friends the night before the wedding, pledging his loyalty and friendship to them. The soldiers provided loose women, food, drinks and good times for a night of male bonding. The function of this rite of passage was simply to say good-bye to the wild antics of single life while swearing the groom’s continued allegiance to his comrades.

Wedding Traditions and Superstitions – Part 1

The Wedding Toast
When someone is toasting the bride and groom they should not raise their glasses like everyone else. Since they are the ones being honored, it is not considered polite to toast themselves.
Why do they call it a ‘toast’? It comes from the French custom of putting a piece of bread at the bottom of a wine goblet. The goblet was passed around to honored guests and the guest who got it last would eat the bread.
The Receiving Line
It was believed in ancient times that the bride and groom were blessed, and those who touched them would receive good luck and fortune.
The Garter
Tossing the garter is much like the bouquet toss, but for the single men. The single man who catches the garter is believed to be the next to marry. This custom originated in the 14th century when it was believed lucky to have a piece of the newlyweds’ clothing. Many times, the eager and drunken guests would destroy the bride’s dress in their attempt to gain a lucky charm. In order to prevent this from happening, the bride’s garters were removed and thrown to the unruly crowd to distract them. Today, the tradition of tossing the wedding garter is much tamer.
Why on the Left?
Have you ever wondered why the bride’s family is seated on the left side of the church and the groom’s side is seated on the right? The tradition stems from medieval times when men wore swords on their right side. It is said they needed that side free in order to draw their sword and protect his bride.
The Wedding Kiss
The wedding kiss symbolizes more than just an endearment. In Roman times, a legal bond or contract was always sealed with a kiss. Therefore, when newlyweds kiss, it represents an agreement to enter into a life-long contract with each other. Some believe the wedding kiss symbolizes an exchange of one’s soul with another. When the bride and groom kiss, their souls mingle together

Red is a very emotionally intense color. It enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It has very high visibility, which is why stop signs, stoplights, and fire equipment are usually painted red. In heraldry, red is used to indicate courage. It is a color found in many national flags.

Red brings text and images to the foreground. Use it as an accent color to stimulate people to make quick decisions; it is a perfect color for 'Buy Now' or 'Click Here' buttons on Internet banners and websites.

Yellow is an unstable and spontaneous color, so avoid using yellow if you want to suggest stability and safety. Light yellow tends to disappear into white, so it usually needs a dark color to highlight it. Shades of yellow are visually unappealing because they loose cheerfulness and become dingy.

Black denotes strength and authority; it is considered to be a very formal, elegant, and prestigious color (black tie, black Mercedes). In heraldry, black is the symbol of grief.

Black gives the feeling of perspective and depth, but a black background diminishes readability. A black suit or dress can make you look thinner.

Combined with red or orange – other very powerful colors – black gives a very aggressive color scheme.

Here are some great photos of Teal weddings.



what does your ring say about you (all thanks to WeTv)

So I was online today and seen something so cool. It was about what your engagement or wedding ring says about you... I hope you enjoy.

For many brides, their engagement and wedding ring is more than a symbol of love.
“The goal is to have a ring that is distinctive and reflects the style and symbolism of the couple. And hopefully, it will be a timeless piece that the bride will love for years to come—maybe even something that can be passed down for generations.”
Here are some of the most common cuts and styles and what they mean. Which one belongs to you?
A classic round stone is absolutely timeless and never goes out of style, but the woman who wears it is anything but boring. In fact, it reflects a get-up-and-go personality, as well as the fullness of her life and relationship. “It’s also easy to wear, so many athletic and adventurous women choose it,” says Matlins.
Celeb style: Kelly Ripa, Natalie Portman, Britney Spears
An oval cut is also a popular choice for women who are sophisticated but also enjoy a touch of the modern. “It is in the same category as a classic round in the sense that it will never go out of style,” says Matlins.
Celeb style: Blake Lively, Kate Moss, Miranda Kerr
A princess cut’s geometric step cut gives this ring a super sparkle that is perfect for the woman that wants to be the center of attention—and has a groom that loves to put her in the spotlight and watch her shine.
Celeb style: Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett, Ali Larter, Sherri Shepherd
An emerald cut stone’s brilliance makes it a popular choice with many Hollywood brides. Women who wear it are often efficient and straightforward, like the self-professed Type As below.
Celeb style: Kate Hudson, Kristen Bell, Reese Witherspoon
A heart-shaped stone is seems super romantic, but Matlins warns this cut might not thrill you in the years to come. “You really have to think if this is a style that you’ll love 10, 20, 30 years down the line,” she says.
Celeb style: Joan Collins
The marquise stone is named after the Marquise De Pompadour, the mistress of France’s Louis XV, and the women who wear it usually boast major sex appeal. “If you really want to set your ring apart, set this stone horizontally instead of vertically,” notes Matlins.
Celeb style: Victoria Beckham, Portia De Rossi, Catherine Zeta-Jones
A pear shape is another stone that goes in and out of fashion, but it is a feminine shape. Its pointed bottom is perfect for an unconventional bride, but beware—that point can easily chip or get caught on clothes. So if you’re very active, you might want to opt for a different shape.
Celeb style: Katherine Heigl, Odette Yustman, Avril Lavigne
The Asscher-cut diamond dates back to the 1880s, but the women who wear it aren’t old-fashioned. Instead they are considered true romantics.
Celeb style: Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Alba
A woman wearing a colored stone definitely wants to stand out from the crowd, says Matlins. “It’s a way of having something that doesn’t look like everyone else’s rings; colored stones are distinctive and eye-catching.” One unique way to incorporate color into your ring is by showcasing your groom’s birthstone, either as the main stone or as a side stone. “This is a romantic way to show your love for your future husband,” says Matlins.
And, of course, different colors represent different emotions. For example, red (ruby) symbolizes passion and love; blue (sapphire) represents spirituality; and green (emerald) is associated with new beginnings.
Celeb style: Halle Berry (emerald), Jessica Simpson (ruby), Kate Middleton (blue sapphire)
