Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started? This superstition dates back to the Victorian era and is said to bring the bride good luck. The something old was meant to tie the bride to her family and her past, while the something new represented her new life as now belonging to a new family with the hope of good fortune and success for the future. The item borrowed was supposed to be taken from someone who was already a successfully married wife, so as to pass on a bit of her good fortune to the new bride. The colour blue, stood for love, loyalty and purity. Today we continue this tradition with full or part awareness of what it means and to be honest some of us still believe in this superstition, even though we know that marriage is built on love, trust, communication, fidelity etc. It should also be noted that nowadays it's white that stands for the colour of purity and not blue as it once was.

Do you know where or why this wedding tradition was started? The tradition of the father giving away his daughter has it's roots in the days of arranged marriages. Daughters in those times were considered their father's property until they were married, so it was his right to give his child to the groom, usually for a price called the "bride price" to compensate for the loss of having her work within the family. Nowadays the 'giving away' tradition has morphed itself in a more family-friendly ordeal, with the process taking on a sentimental meaning rather than a literal one. Some brides still like to incorporate their fathers in this way, whilst some like to involve their mothers as well. It is now also common practice for the bride to walk down the aisle on her own.
