Do you know the origin of these customs?<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The custom of bridal clothing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The custom of bridal clothing dates back to the Victorian Times, where the bride&#8217;s dress is related to &#8220;something old, new, borrowed and white.&#8221; Because the old things are related to the bride&#8217;s family and her past life. New things represent the bride&#8217;s happiness in the future. Good fortune and success can be found in her new life. Wearing things borrowed from marriage can bring good luck to marriage, which can be a wedding dress, a handkerchief, and a piece of jewelry. White objects are considered to be symbols of purity and loyalty.<\/p>\n<p>There are two interpretations of the bride&#8217;s custom of wearing wedding dresses. One is that in the time of the arranged marriage, the bride&#8217;s face should be covered up before the bride is formally married at the wedding so that it is too late for the bridegroom to see the bride even if she does not like her appearance. Another explanation is that the bride wears a wedding dress for the purpose of hurting evil spirits who are not loitering on the wedding day.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13106 size-full\" title=\"The custom of bridal clothing\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-custom-of-bridal-clothing.jpg\" alt=\"The custom of bridal clothing\" width=\"500\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-custom-of-bridal-clothing.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-custom-of-bridal-clothing-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-custom-of-bridal-clothing-768x285.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-custom-of-bridal-clothing-1024x380.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 https:\/\/www.bhldn.com\/shop-the-bride-wedding-dresses\/<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The carrying the bride over the threshold<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The custom of the bride and groom holding the bride through the threshold stems from the Rome era. People at the time thought that if the bride stumbling on the first doorsill of the first day would bring bad luck, and holding the bride through the doorsill could avoid such a thing.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The custom of wedding rings<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The custom of wedding rings is generally believed to have started in the seventeenth century. At the wedding, the priest touched his left forefinger in sequence and said, &#8220;In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit&#8230;, just touched the ring finger.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13105 size-full\" title=\"The carrying the bride over the threshold\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-carrying-the-bride-over-the-threshold.jpg\" alt=\"The carrying the bride over the threshold\" width=\"500\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-carrying-the-bride-over-the-threshold.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-carrying-the-bride-over-the-threshold-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/The-carrying-the-bride-over-the-threshold-540x251.jpg 540w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 https:\/\/www.tiffany.com\/engagement\/rings?lppromo=LPC02454<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Carrying flowers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The bride&#8217;s habit of carrying flowers originated in ancient times. It is thought that strong herbs or spices can drive away evil spirits, bad luck, and disease. In the Victorian era, when lovers sent flowers to each other to convey their different feelings, flowers had more meaning. For example, apple blossom represents &#8220;the coming of better things to come&#8221;; red roses represent &#8220;I love you&#8221;; white roses represent &#8220;pure&#8221;, and forget me is &#8220;sincere love and memory &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13104 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Carrying-flowers.jpg\" alt=\"Carrying flowers\" width=\"553\" height=\"372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Carrying-flowers.jpg 553w, https:\/\/www.gs-jj.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Carrying-flowers-300x202.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">https:\/\/www.insideweddings.com\/news\/planning-design\/the-brides-guide-to-7-popular-types-of-wedding-bouquets\/2385\/<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Bride standing on the left side of the bridegroom<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As for the bride standing on the left side of the bridegroom, it is very interesting. In ancient times, the bridegroom used his left hand to protect the future bride, but at the same time, he had to free his right hand, swords to defeat and drive away other people who wanted to rob her.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Though people are accustomed to these customs today, it is very interesting to understand these ancient cultural traditions.
