Some wedding traditions are a bit cuckoo, but we love ’em anyway. One tradition, in particular, stems from a centuries-old wedding rhyme used to help brides ward off the so-called “evil eye.”
The evil eye comes from superstitions in ancient Rome and Greece. Long ago, it was believed that a malicious glare could infect victims with ill health, bad fortune, or infertility in the case of young brides.
So when “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence for your shoe…” appeared in 19th-century England to ward off said evil eye, folks went all in!
Current surveys of modern brides reveal over 60% still want to participate in the tradition, and why not? Good luck never goes out of style!
Today, we’re focusing on perhaps the most fun “something” to be had in the old tradition, and if you’re looking for a bridal gift, there are endless possibilities for those something blue gifts for the bride.
