Wedding Dress Superstitions

Before you launch into this article, please remember that superstitions are just for fun. Thirteen is the unluckiest number in some parts of the globe, the luckiest in others, and of no importance of all in still others. Weddings can add a lot to worry about to your life you dont need to top that off with a fear of meeting a lizard on the way to the ceremony.

My friend Annes policy on superstitions is one of the best Ive heard: If she thinks something will bring her some extra good luck, she adopts it. And if she thinks it will bring her bad luck, she ignores it as though its the silliest thing shes ever heard of. After all, if youre going to choose to believe in luck, why not stack the deck in your favor?

Making the dress

The one unlucky superstition Im in full favor of is the one that says its bad luck for a bride to make her own dress. Why not let someone else do it while you stay tasked on looking lovely? Some traditions elaborate on the idea by saying that the number of stitches you make in your own wedding dress will be the same as the number of tears you shed during your marriage, so it seems like a clever superstitious bride might be able to rig things in her favor by contributing a manageable four or five stitches to the process.

While youre supervising the dressmaking process, the luckiest fabric is supposed to be silk. English tradition says that you shouldnt wear a gypsy wedding dresses patterned wedding gown, and should especially avoid patterns showing birds, but some Asian traditions recommend wedding dresses with cranes on them to ensure a faithful husband.

If you decide to forego having a wedding dress made entirely, think hard about whom you borrow one from a borrowed wedding dress is supposed to bring good luck to the bride who borrows it, but bad luck to the wife who lends it out.

Wearing your dress

Youve probably heard that the groom isnt supposed to see you in your dress before the wedding, but did you know that you arent supposed to see you in it either? You can get around that little trick of luck by fitting your dress in sections, or by leaving a little bit of the hem undone. Some brides even wait and have a bridesmaid put in the last few stitches right before the trip down the aisle.

Planning on having kids? Pay attention during the reception: The first child who tugs on your skirt will be the same sex as your first child.

Things on or in your dress (other than you)

If you want a sweet marriage, you should hide a lump of sugar in your glove or sleeve. (Whats that? You want a rich marriage? Talk to your shoes. Or better yet, put coins in them.) For a lucky marriage, sew a few hairs into your dress, and for lots of children, sew cowry shells onto or into your dress.

If you happen to find a spider in your wedding dress, do a little happy dance once youre done yelling Ick! It means very good luck and a happy home life.

Above all, dont forget that as a bride, you yourself are a lucky charm to everyone around you. Save the pins from your wedding dress (and bouquet, if there are any) to give to your friends theyre supposed to bring your pals luck in everything from love to gambling! You might also consider sewing love knots to your dress. These are little figure eights of ribbon that you can give out as good luck charms later.

Congratulations on your engagement!

And good yellow homecoming dress luck!

The Wedding Dress I Like

When I was a young girl, I had a dream that I could have my own wedding dress, as we all know, nearly every girl have this dream, not only me, do you think so? I hope my wedding dress is the solo one. I do not like to see the other people wearing the same wedding dress with me.

I hope the color of my wedding dress is white, especially pure white. In western countries, they used to wear the white wedding dress, when they began to wear the wedding dress on the wedding ceremony. But in china, people think the color of red stands for lucky and happiness, so on the wedding ceremony, the bride always wear the red wedding dress. The reason why I like the white wedding dress is that I like the white color, I feel comfortable when I am wearing the white cloths and this color is suitable to my skin. In my opinion, the best choice for the bride is choosing the suitable wedding dress rather than choosing the beautiful one. When you wear the suitable wedding dress you can show the most beautiful aspects of yourself to all the people.

The style of the wedding dress I like is the high-waist design. The height of me is a little short. I hope the wedding dress could hide my shortcoming. As we all know, we can hide our shortcoming through choosing right style clothing, for example the high-waist design. If you choose a right style wedding dress, you are more likely to harvest your imagined effects.

Some people think the bride should buy a wedding dress, but some people consider its better to rent one for the wedding dress can be worn for only once in all life of a people, purchasing a wedding dress is a waste of money, and it costs lots of money and time to take care of the wedding dress. However, I hope I could buy one, I think it is a mark of wedding ceremony. In the later days, when you see beautiful sceneries, you can take your wedding dress to take your wedding photos again. What a nice elegant wedding dresses thing!

I will buy my wedding dress on the internet, as we all know, it is a little cheap on the internet, and I can choose the color and the style of my wedding dress in home instead of going to the wedding dress shop, it can save me lots time. And we can find more wedding dress than in wedding dress shop, so we can easily choose our favorite. We can save money, time, and we can see more wedding dresses.
