Something Old
This represents the bride's ties to her family
Something New
This represents the start of a new life
Something Borrowed
This represents the couple's reliance on family and neighbours
Something Blue
This is a symbol of faithfulness
And a sixpence in your shoe
This represents promised future wealth
The white dress
A symbol of purity
The bridal veil
Protects the bride from evil spirits
The throwing of confetti
Originating from ancient times when the bride and groom were showered with rice to bestow fertility
