As a wedding photographer in the business for several years now I have seen a lot of tradition at weddings and a lot of non-traditional weddings. First off, every wedding is different. It’s like a snowflake or a fingerprint. Each wedding is entirely unique to its couple.
This is the 5th part in a series of traditions vs non-traditions
Yet another Victorian era tradition. It was said that when the items are procured for your wedding (especially to be worn during the ceremony) it will bring you good fortune. Something old to connect the bride to her past, something new to signify starting a new chapter of your lives, something borrowed was supposed to be given by another happily married couple to pass their good fortune on and something blue to represent faithfulness and loyalty in a relationship.
Honestly, the more I research this topic, the more I fall in love with it. I love photographing those details that have meaning, in the first place.
Now that you know the reasons behind this tradition, will you consider it? I know I borrowed a necklace (made out of reclaimed items) from my mom when I got married and there was some blue on the bottom of my shoes. I didn’t know the history behind it, but I am glad that I did it anyway.
