Many wedding traditions exist around the world, some of which are very old which are still practiced to day but possibly the exact reason has been lost but that does not mean that new wedding traditions are not being created. One lovely wedding tradition is the wearing a tiara and is taken from ancient times where there was a white ribbon worn around the shoulders and head of a king, which signified his power and wealth. Like many of these traditions, the tiara has evolved from a very simple design to the way we see it today; made with expensive metals and gems of different types embedded into it.

The bridesmaids can also wear a tiara but they must not be as elaborate as the bride’s which usually sits on top of the veil to hold it in place. The majority of wedding dresses will feature a tiara and there is no doubt that a wedding dress without one does not have quite the same impact; many brides will treasure their tiara for the rest of their lives. Small tiara shaped rings, as party favors would make the most memorial conversation jewelry, for maid of honor, bridesmaids and even the flower girl.

It wasn’t that long ago that the people belonging to the wedding party would take the newly weds to the honeymoon location. It was then the party’s task to try and take the garter from the bride’s leg as the prize would be for this person to then wear it like a band around their hat or alternatively to a woman for whose attentions they were after. The enthusiasm that this wedding tradition produced was often too much and the attempt to remove the garter ended in the bride being undressed so to stop this unseemly behavior, brides tried throwing the garter to the men in the party as soon as she was married.

The lucky man to catch the garter would be considered as the next person to marry but once again drunken behavior signaled many men to try and take the garter before the bride was ready to throw it too them. Once again it was necessary for a wedding custom to be changed so brides started too throw the bouquet of flowers to the ladies at the wedding instead which had the same meaning as the thrown garter. However, although it no longer has the same significance that it once did, tossing the garter to male members of the wedding has returned and many women feel very strongly about wearing the garter once again.

Women who are trying to stick to tradition will wear a blue garter as it is considered a lucky color but many brides like the somewhat more saucy red as their preferred color. Just to keep up with the times it is not uncommon for the bride to allow the groom to remove the garter and then throw it over his shoulder to the male wedding guests. Tradition says that the man who unmarried man that catches the garter will be the first of the wedding party men to marry within twelve months.
