Wedding Trivia
- A ring with a pair of clasped hands is one of the oldest symbols of "plighted troth."
- In 1895, a single color -- pink -- was fashionable for spring weddings. In 1900, yellow was the color most often selected.
- There should be at least three knots in the ribbons of a bridal bouquet, to represent husband, wife and child.
- Yellow was the favorite color for a bride's dress during the eighteenth century, and it was usually made of a heavy brocade.
- In horse and carriage days, knotted favors of ribbon decorated the ears of the horses which drew the bridal carriage.
- The original function of the tissue paper, which is enclosed in a formal wedding invitation, was to blot the ink. Nowadays, it's simply added for the "look," or the "fun" of it.
- Brides began wearing white for weddings as early as the sixteenth century; wearing white was a reflection of family wealth. Only the wealthy could afford a garment that would soil so easily, and be worn on only one day.
- Many societies frowned on the use of yellow for a wedding gown, as they believed it was a sure sign of a wife's intention to cheat on her husband.
- An old German superstition held that pearls signified tears for the bride.
- In earlier years, brides placed their bouquets at grave sites in the cemetery, in remembrance of family members who had "passed on."
- During the time of the Roman Empire, couples were not officially married until they had eaten together. Perhaps this was the beginning of the wedding reception tradition.
- Diamonds were not popular for engagement rings until the nineteenth century, when the exploitation of South American diamond deposits made it relatively inexpensive.
- The ring on a posy holder is there to slip on a woman's finger.
