#WeddingTraditions and #Superstitions: What’s the big deal? We’ve seen a lot of superstitions and traditions at weddings. And hey, so what if you’re that bride snatching your “something blue” off the unassuming ring-bearer at the eleventh-hour, or slipping your grandfather’s ol’ hankie in your dress…that counts as “something borrowed” right? After all the charades, we’ve decided to look into why brides and grooms do what they do. Where did all these superstitions and traditions originate anyway? And could they actually give us some extra luck when tying the knot? The bouquet. Probably one of the more “normal” traditions we have today, but it wasn’t always rainbows and roses. Until modern times, the traditional bouquet was a bundle of garlic and dill! Yeah I know,…no thanks! But apparently, in the time of the Plague, people pressed these herbs against their noses in order to comfort them. These herbs made it into the wedding ceremony as a sign of “renewal” and “comfort.” The modern bouquet, of course, smells much better…but you could still slip some dill or garlic to make it extra traditional.
