Having your bridal bouquet or posey made out of real flowers isn’t the only choice when deciding on what to hold in your hands as you walk down the aisle. Sentimental family heirlooms or traditional cultural customs will bring powerful symbolism and meaning to your wedding day ceremony. A family bible that has been passed down for years, a lacy handkerchief carrying your rosary beads or cross, or a treasured container filled with a family heirloom will hold tremendous meaning to you and your  background and traditions. As we are Irish, an old Irish custom is for the bride to carry a horseshoe for good luck. In our family, the horseshoe is tied with a ribbon that trails to the ground as the bride walks. Afterwards, it is always added to the front door of the couple’s home to keep their love alive!

Do you have a favorite symbol that you and Mr. Wonderful would like to include in your wedding day walk down the aisle? We would love to hear your thoughts!

Hugs,
