Veil has replaced the garland. ,
HERE COMES
THE BRIDE
They Tossed Stockings
Before Bouquets
BY VIRGINIA NELLE WILSON
Written for NEA Service
How modern are our modern
weddings?
Today’s bride walks to the altar
down an aisle of petals just as the
medieval bride walked on a path
of grain scattered by two small
girls carrying garlands of wheat.
The symbolism of happiness and
insured fertility did not change
when wheat was replaced by flow
ers in the late 17th century.
Flowers always have been im
portant in a wedding. At one time
a garland for the bride’s head was
known as the “coronet of the good
girl.” The misty veil which re
placed tiht garland is the symbol
of the wife’'s submission to her
husband.
The covering of the bride until
after the marriage rite was, and
still is, a strictly followed custom
in many lands, especially the Far
East. From this tradition comes
the superstition that ill-luck will
befall the bride if her groom sees
her on her wedding day, before
the ceremony.
Since white has been sacred to
many people, both civilized and
barbaric, it has become the bride’s
color throughout most of the
world. To the ancient Greeks and
Romans it was the symbol of joy
and purity, thus the appropriate
color for marriage garments,
The words of the old couplet,
“Somrething old and something
new, something borrowed and
something blue,” are relics of the
ancient Israelite marriage ritual
in which the bride was demanded
to wear blue ribbons wupon her
shoulders as proof of her love,
fidelity and purity.
The use of ribbons and knots in
the wedding has been popular in
other lands also. The early Anglo-
Saxon bride gave to her friends
bits of knotted ribbon as symbols
of faith and the inseparable ties
of love and duty in marriage. To
day the boutonnieres and the bou
quets of the bridal attendants, as
well as the shower of ribbons
flowing from our bride’s own bou
quet or prayer book, perpetuates |«
this early cu.:.t‘qm. (
1 hid fosstng*f the bridal, bou:.|)
quet is another remnant of the |
past, During the 14th century in |]
France, securing the bride’s garter |
guaranteed a future marriage. |-
Even though the bride left one |!
garter dangling conveniently about
her ankle, an over - enthusiastic
group of girls were capable of |
giving her a severe beating. j
During the next century the |
garter grabbing lost favor and was
replaced by the stocking throwing. |
But since a stocking is not the |
most easily removed piece of |
wearing apparel, the brige usually |
became the center of & tussle. One
wise girl, wishing to save herself |
a mauling, swiftly tossed hér
bouquet into the surprised group
gathered about her, Other girls |
followed her example, and a new
custom began.
