Superstitions That Are a Little Concerning: What Are the Wedding Traditions?
A wedding is a promise of eternal love with the one you adore. It should be the happiest day of your life, surrounded by many guests who have come to celebrate with you. ♡
But did you know about some "slightly negative traditions" surrounding weddings? Even if you know they're superstitions, they can still weigh on your mind. Some brides might even regret choosing something after discovering "If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have picked this...!"
This time, we will introduce some intriguing wedding-related traditions. Of course, since they are superstitions, whether to believe them or not is entirely up to you. However, it's better to know both the good and bad beforehand, and then make a choice based on what you think is "good"! ♡
Wedding Superstition and Tradition 1: Are Separate Dresses and Bicolor Dresses Bad Luck?
First, let's talk about the superstition surrounding separate dresses, two-piece dresses, and bicolor dresses. In weddings, words like "separate," "break," or "depart" can evoke thoughts of divorce, so they're considered bad luck.
Therefore, separate and bicolor dresses, which feature distinct fabrics or colors, are sometimes said to be "bad luck" because they “separate” the garment.
Recently, separate and bicolor dresses have become extremely popular, so many brides choose them. However, those who are sensitive about this might find it concerning… so it's best to keep this in mind.
Wedding Superstition and Tradition 2: Open-Toe Pumps - "Does the Wife Go First?"
Next, let's discuss open-toe pumps. Open-toe pumps are popular bridal shoes due to their stylish design and the visibility of a well-done pedicure…
However, "open toes" are said to represent "the tips of the toes sticking out," which translates to "the wife going out first," hence considered bad luck.
You might think, "That's a bit of a stretch!" but being told this might make some brides reconsider choosing open-toe shoes. It's good to keep this in mind.
Wedding Superstition and Tradition 3: Are Dried Flowers Withered?
Lastly, let's introduce dried flowers. Dried flower bouquets are trendy and known for their cost-effectiveness. ♡
However, dried flowers are generally considered to be withered flowers. They're regarded as lacking vitality and are associated with "negative" energy! It's said that carrying a dried flower bouquet at a wedding could symbolize the bride withering away (how rude!).
It's quite shocking to think of such a stylish choice in this way. But if someone were to say that, it would be incredibly sad...
All Are Superstitions, But They Still Matter…!
How did you find the wedding superstitions and traditions? In reality, many of these seem like arbitrary connections and don’t hold much significance, but once someone mentions them, they can start nagging at your thoughts.
Superstitions are ultimately baseless concepts; it's unclear who initially thought them up. However, discovering "Oh, I didn’t realize that..." after making your choice can lead to a somewhat sorrowful feeling.
Ultimately, the items you use for your wedding should be what you think is “the best”! ♡ Nevertheless, it's good to know all aspects—both positive and negative—before finding your favorite without worrying about superstitions! ♡
