MAID OF HONOUR
SEVEN BRIDESMAIDS IN
MATCHING DRESSES,
WITH THE BRIDE
A bridesmaid is a member of the bride's group in a
wedding. A bridesmaid is usually a young woman,
and often a close friend or sister. She helps the bride
on the day of a wedding or marriage ceremony.
Traditionally, bridesmaids were chosen from
unmarried young women who were old enough to be
married.
The main bridesmaid may be called the chief
bridesmaid or maid of honor if she is unmarried,
or the matron of honor if she is married. A junior
bridesmaid is a girl who is clearly too young to get
married, but who is included as an honorary
bridesmaid.
DO YOU KNOW ANY
WEDDING TRADITIONS?
Flower Petals Sprinkle
Flower girls, usually nieces of the engaged
couple or friends’ daughters traditionally
walk in front of the wedding procession
leading them to the church to sprinkle
flower petals. This is in its origin a pagan
tradition. The flowers were to attract a
goddess of fertility
Haul In
Friends of the groom will prop a rope in
front of the church after the ceremony. The
rope is decorated not only by flowers and
ribbons but also with empty bottles. The
newlyweds are only allowed to continue in
their way, after the groom pays himself
out. This way, the groom pays himself out
of the sins of his youth
Flower Bouquet Toss
The bride throws the flower bouquet over
her left shoulder once she leaves the
church or town hall into a crowd of single
women. The lucky lady who catches the
bouquet is the next one to get married.
Breaking the Plate
At the beginning of the Czech wedding
reception, a plate is broken at the feet of
the bride and groom and they must sweep
the chips together. This tradition has its
roots in two superstitions; that chips bring
happiness and the newlyweds show a will
to cooperate by jointly sweeping the chips
away and their marriage will therefore be
harmonious.
Eating the soup jointly
At the wedding reception, the bride and
groom are joined by being covered in a
large cloth symbolizing unity, and then
finish a bowl of soup using one spoon to
symbolize cooperation. Another meaning,
which may be even more substantial, is the
symbol of the joint loaf of bread, from
which it’s necessary to take and give by
equal part to each other. Because of this
concise symbolism, this tradition is still
widely popular nowadays.
Kidnapping the Bride
This tradition symbolizes a woman’s
separation from her parents and a
transition to a new living community. When
the reception is almost over, friends of the
newlyweds kidnap the bride. If the groom
finds her, he is obliged to pay the bill as a
certain way of ransom for the bride, he
intends to get back.
