The modern bridal shower may trace its origins the 1890s. “The Old Farmer’s

Almanac” says the first bridal shower hostess filled a paper parasol with small presents and turned it over the head of the bride-to-be.

Soon the concept caught on, and many other women began “showering” future brides in such a manner. Naturally, as presents became larger and heavier, the tradition of literally showering the bride with gifts was modified — but the name has stuck.

Bridal showers are designed to equip couples with many of the necessities to

start their new life together. This custom is believed to have evolved from an old dowry system, in which a bride was expected to bring valuables to the marriage. The dowry was originally intended as compensation for the burden of supporting a wife placed on the groom. Some parents of the bride were not rich enough to af-ford an ample dowry, so friends and family members would offer small gifts to help offset this financial responsibility.

Today, both the bride and groom are equal

partners in the marriage, bringing together their collective wealth. However, showers are still held regardless of the financial need of the bride as a way to offer good wishes before she embarks on her new journey.

Weddings are a chance for couples getting married

to be the center of attention.All eyes will be glued to the

bride and groom on this special day, which makes it even more important for couples to look their collective best.

Brides might garner most of the attention on a couple’s wedding day, but dashing grooms will get their share of attention as well. As a result, grooms must be just as diligent

as their brides with regard to grooming and appearance.

To look picture-perfect, grooms may want to follow these grooming tips.Hair

Schedule a haircut with a professional stylist roughly a week before the wedding to get your hair shaped and trimmed. Although trendy hairstyles may show off creativity, keep in mind that photos last forever, and it’s often better to stick with a classic cut. A barber

or stylist may suggest styles that best suit your face shape and hair texture. Above all, the haircut should be neat.Shaving

Shaving is another thing grooms must consider. If you have a beard, make sure it is clean, combed and trimmed. Men who shave the day of their weddings may find their skin is sensitive and irritated, which can lead to redness. Unless your facial hair grows especially fast, shave the eve-ning before.Hands

Grooms also may want to

book a manicure. Keep in mind that salons will do men’s nonpolish manicures and pedicures, and they can be well worth the investment. Photos of entwined hands or close-ups of the ring exchange will have guests zeroing in on your fingers. Have hands look their best with clean, shaped finger-nails and trimmed cuticles.Skin

Get plenty of sleep the night prior to the wedding. Being well rested will help reduce puffy eyes and dark circles. It will also put you in a more positive mood, which can help you enjoy the day even more.

Couples adhere to many traditions on their wedding days, including

the exchange of wedding rings. Wedding rings symbolize the union of two people and their pledge to remain faithful to each other.

No one is exactly sure just when the tradition of exchanging wedding rings originated, but some say it can be traced back to ancient Egypt, when the old-est recorded exchange of wedding rings was made. Reeds growing along the Nile were twisted and braided into rings and given during betrothal ceremonies. The round ring symbolized eternity, and the hole within the center meant a gateway to things unknown. Since reeds were not very durable, soon ivory, leather and bone were used to create wedding rings.

As new lands were explored and territo-ries expanded, traditions from one culture were adopted and modified by other cultures. The same is true with wedding rings. According to the Diamond Source, wedding rings were adopted by Romans

and incorporated into Western wedding ceremonies. Romans’ rings were highly decorated, and some historians believe wedding rings were given to represent ownership over brides instead of symbol-izing love. These rings were made of iron and called “Anulus Pronubus” or “be-trothal ring.”

Rings have been simplified since those days and ultimately made of many mate-rials. Throughout history, wedding rings were worn on various fingers and even both hands, whereas many married peo-ple in Western cultures now wear their wedding rings on the left hand and on the fourth finger. Romans once believed that this finger contained a vein, called the “Vena Amoris,” that ran directly to the heart. Though that is not true, the tradition has prevailed.

Other legends say, when blessing a Christian marriage, priests would bind the marriage by saying, “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,” simultaneously touching the ring to

the recipient’s thumb, index finger and middle finger, before slipping it on the fourth finger while saying, “Amen.”

Another theory on ring placement is wedding rings are worn on the ring finger because that finger isn’t used as much as the rest of the hand, ensuring delicate ring materials won’t be damaged.

Ross Simmons Jewelry states that gold is still the most popular metal choice for wedding rings, but couples are opting for some other metals that are more durable. Platinum is popular not only because it is long-wearing, but it also tends to be the most expensive. It’s also a dense metal and can feel heavy in hand. Tungsten carbide is another durable metal that has grown in popularity in recent years. These rings cannot be cut and soldered again, which means it’s important to size the rings correctly the first time. Titanium is both lightweight and durable, and it’s popular because it is hypo-aller-genic, making it practical for those with allergies to other metals.

Wedding rings are symbolic gestures of commitment

Historically, June has been the most popular month for getting married. But

some numbers now indicate July and even October have begun to edge June out as the most popular months for weddings.

The June wedding tradition may be traced back to the ancient Romans.

Romans honored Juno, the goddess of mar-riage and childbirth. The month of June was named after her, so it is fitting that wed-dings take place in her namesake month.

As centuries passed, June remained a popular month to get married. It was a prime

time for people to come out after a long winter and take communal baths in the 15th century.

In addition, June weddings meant children conceived after betrothal would be born close to or during the following spring. This helped assure youngsters’ survival during the rough and often lean months of winter. Spring births would not conflict with workers’ demanding schedules during the autumn harvest, either. Even when weddings began shifting from pragmatic business transactions to romantic affairs, June remained popular.

Making the wedding of your dreams a reality

may require some creativity. It can be challenging to organize all of the creative ideas swim-ming around in your head, but inspiration boards may be able to help.

Inspiration boards, some-times referred to as idea boards, are commonly used by interior designers, artists, writ-ers and even wedding planners. Such boards can serve a great purpose, sometimes seeing things together, rather than in bits and pieces on their own, can fuel even more creativity.

Inspiration boards can include magazine clippings, photographs, fabric swatches, whatever will inspire you. As the idea board grows, you may find a common denominator among your inspirational ele-ments. This can help determine a theme for your wedding or jump-start other planning.

While poster boards may be more traditional idea boards, creative ideas also can be com-piled in binders or scrapbooks, which work especially well at

keeping all items organized and concise. Plus, they’re portable, which means you can take a scrapbook to a meeting with a wedding vendor and show them your concepts for the wedding.

Later, when photographers, florists and other vendors have been booked, you can attach receipts or agreements to the inspiration board for future reference. This keeps all of your important wedding information in one place rather than requir-ing you to search through different folders or files.

To start building your own board or book, take clippings of photos or articles that resonate with you. As you visit bridal shops and other stores, take fabric swatches and pictures of particular looks. Attend bridal shows and take home promo-tional materials. Remember, in-spiration may not always come from bridal-related resources. Anything you come across in your daily life — such as win-dow-shopping at a furniture store or passing an art exhibit — may inspire some creativity.

Steeped in tradition, wed-dings have featured many

of the same components for centuries. Those about to get married may feel somewhat limited in their ability to shape their weddings into unique cel-ebrations of their relationships and love for one another.

When looking to personalize your wedding ceremony, deter-mine if there might be anything blocking you from doing so. For example, if yours will be a religious ceremony, there may be certain rites that need to be followed. Vows

Vows are one of the easiest ways to put a personal touch on your wedding. You can select the words you want to exchange during the ceremony

as well as any readings during the service. Work with your officiant to narrow down par-ticular phrasing or sentiments that fit with your vision of the wedding and relationship.Participants

Wedding party members fulfill certain roles during the ceremony, but they are not limited to those tasks alone. Consider asking wedding party members, other friends or fam-ily members to take on special roles in the wedding. They may be able to do certain readings, escort guests to their seats, light candles or sing.Musical interludes

Choose music that connects with your personalities as a couple rather than selecting standard songs merely because

they are the easier route. Work with the organist or other musicians and re-quest they perform or play musical pieces you enjoy. Candle lighting

Many couples like to incorporate candle-lighting components to their ceremonies. Lighting unity candles blends two families together into one in a symbolic way. Other couples choose differ-ent traditions, such as mixing two different-colored sands in a new vessel, to represent the joining of two lives together. You can consider these types of additions for your wedding ceremony or come up with your

own unique tradition.You can impart a special touch

to your wedding ceremony in any number of ways. Doing so will help set this special day apart in the minds of guests and make it even more memora-ble to look back on as a couple.

As guests’ eyes are trained on couples it is no surprise that both the bride and

groom want to look flawless on their big day. Men and women will spend thousands of dollars on clothing, hairstyling, makeup, teeth whitening, fitness classes, and more to en-sure they look their best. While couples may be particularly concerned with their wedding day appearance, what they wear under their clothing — particularly for women — can impact how clothes fit and look.

Choosing the right bra or supportive un-dergarments can play a crucial role in how a gown fits and whether or not brides achieve that picture-perfect look. Wearing the wrong undergarments can negatively affect a bride’s appearance and make her extremely uncom-fortable. According to a study done by Swiss lingerie company Triumph, a large number of women are choosing their bras incorrectly. The international survey of 10,000 women found 64 percent of women are wearing the wrong size bras. If they are wearing the wrong undergarments for everyday looks, it stands to reason their wedding choices may not be spot on, either.

Undergarments should be purchased and brought to all fittings as soon as a gown is selected. In fact, it often is a good idea to ask the bridal store employees to suggest a bra or corset that will complement the gown and remain invisible beneath the dress.

Some shops will make bras available when trying on gowns. Brides are not obligated to purchase undergarments where they pur-

chase their gowns, but take note of the brand and style and find a similar one elsewhere that fits with your budget if this one doesn’t.

Pay attention to the gown’s fabric and how dense it is. Certain shapewear, including bras, that have a lot of boning in them to shape and support the body can show under bridal dresses without a lot of layers. Always try on the bra with the gown to gauge the finished look. You may opt for simpler and plain lingerie styles so you will be guaranteed a seam-less appearance.

Nude-colored bras tend to be less notice-able than white. You always can purchase something with more pizazz to change into for the wedding night. Some dresses with plunging necklines or backless designs may necessitate other options. Sew-in bra cups are another option that can lend invisible support.

Women with more ample busts may want to select gowns that allow for bras with sup-

portive straps to be worn. This way there is no worry about strapless bras or other style lingerie slipping down.

In addition to bras, other types of shape-wear can enhance certain areas of the body or downplay perceived flaws. Shapewear can smooth and pull in stomachs. Choose boy shorts or thong-style cuts for a seamless finish.

Undergarments can make or break wedding looks

Many couples find their wedding rehearsal dinners to be relaxing respites from the

whirlwind of wedding planning. Such din-ners enable the happy couple to slow down and enjoy themselves in a relatively casual gathering with their closest friends and family members.

Rehearsal dinners typically take place a night or two before the wedding. The couple, members of their wedding party, the parents of the bride and groom and others involved in the wedding typically attend this dinner. The couple generally takes the to thank everyone for their contributions to the wedding and to offer some small gifts of appreciation.

No rules govern rehearsal dinners, so couples have the freedom to plan the dinners as they see fit.

Parents of the groom traditionally host the rehearsal dinner, so they will be integral in planning the event. That means couples should keep an open and gracious mind. Remember, the rehearsal dinner doesn’t have to be a lavish affair, and it can be customized

to any budget or preference.Some couples feel hosting

rehearsal dinners in casual settings can make the dinner more com-fortable for members of the wed-ding, who can use the dinner as an opportunity to mingle and get to know one another before the wed-ding. This will help to tame nerves and enable the wedding party to loosen up and enjoy themselves even more. Some people may be more inclined to socialize and have fun when they’re not worried about putting on airs.

Restaurants that have special meaning to the couple often make for great places to hold rehearsal dinners. The bride and groom can suggest their ideas, but ultimately the person handling the bill has the final say. Couples who want greater control over the rehearsal dinner festivities can host it themselves.

Despite its name, the rehearsal dinner doesn’t actually have to be a dinner, as couples can opt for meals at a different time of the day,

like brunch or lunch.Toasts are expected at the rehearsal dinner,

but they tend to be spontaneous, off-the-cuff remarks. A couple with a good sense of humor might not mind being roasted at their rehearsal dinners.

Rehearsal dinners may even feature a little entertainment. Tech-savvy parents may put together a presentation with videos or photo-graphs that chronicle the couple’s lives.

Weddings can be as unique and varied as the couples getting

married. Quite often couples like to include certain twists on the ceremony and celebration to personalize their big days. But just as there are surprises at weddings, there also are many tradi-tions that will be adhered to during ceremonies.

Couples who opt for religious wed-ding ceremonies often adhere to certain rules and traditions fostered by their faiths.Christian celebrations

Christian celebrations are similar among the various denominations. Such ceremonies typically involve

a processional, though the groom is typically not included, instead standing at the al-tar. Christians typically hear various scripture readings, and the officiant will explain the significance of marriage in this faith. Many Catholic weddings feature a full Mass during wed-ding ceremonies, and this Mass includes the transubstantiation of the Holy Eucharist.

After vows and rings are ex-changed, the couple kisses and is pronounced husband and wife in the eyes of God. The bride and groom will go on to sign the marriage document

with two witnesses on hand.Jewish celebrations

The world’s Jew-ish population is divided among many distinctive denominations and further classifica-tions. Although there may be subtle differences in wed-ding ceremonies between the sects, Jewish wedding traditions tend to be consistent

across the groups.Conservative and Orthodox Jews may

not hold weddings on the Sabbath or other holidays. Couples will sign the Ketuba, which is a marriage document affirming their connection to each other and to God.

The ceremony starts with grandpar-ents seated first, followed by a proces-sion of the rabbi, cantor and grooms-men. The groom and bride will be escorted by their parents. The wedding party will gather beneath the chup-pah, which is a canopy that signifies a house and represents the couple’s fu-ture together. A solid gold ring is given only to the bride according to Jewish law, although more liberal rabbis may allow a ring for the groom as a gift. The bridegroom smashes a wineglass with his foot after the vows have been exchanged.

Wedding day tokens come in many forms, but “the something old,

something new, something borrowed, some-thing blue” adage remains one of the most popular luck-enhancing wedding traditions.

Something old represents continuity; something new is for optimism; something borrowed stands for borrowed happiness; and something blue is for purity, love and fidelity.Something old

Something old is one of the easier me-mentos to obtain. There is a good chance that someone in the family is willing to pass an item down to the bride that she can include in her wedding wardrobe. It also can be something the bride may have in her own memory box. Beads taken from a grandmother’s dress or a swatch of fabric from a beloved toy doll are creative ideas that can be sewn into inconspicuous places on gowns.

Something newBrides already purchase many new

items for their wedding day looks, so “something new” should not be too hard. Couples may want to work together to find something new they can both carry so they have a match-ing set when saying ‘I do.’ Interlock-ing charm bracelets or keychains may work. Get clever and have fun.Something borrowed

Much like something old, some-thing borrowed is yet another way to pay homage to a friend or family member. It’s also one way to add a sentimental twist to everyday items. Borrow a grandfather’s handkerchief to wrap around the stems of the wedding bouquet. Ex-change vows with the original rings used by a distant relative at their wedding.Something blue

There are many ways to incorporate “some-

thing blue” into your wedding ceremony. Brides can paint their toenails blue or wear blue shoes under their gowns. Sew a patch from a pair of denim jeans into the bodice of the dress. Blue sapphire or topaz jewelry can add an exotic look to the wedding wardrobe.

The perfect dress is a must for most brides-to-be, but no bridal ensemble is

truly complete until the bride chooses her veil.Veils can be traced back to the Middle East,

where veils helped protect the modesty of the bride. In Ancient Greece and Rome, veils were used as protection from evil spirits.

Veils come in various lengths and can com-plement the style of a wedding gown.These are types of veils from shortest to longest.Blusher

Blushers cover the face, though some extend only to mid-cheek on the bride.Flyaway

Flyaways cover just the back of the head.

Shorter veils may work better on petite women.Shoulder

Shoulder veils are about 20 inches in length and will hit at the bride’s shoulders or just below.Waist

Waist-length veils cascade down to the middle of the bride’s waist. Fingertip

These veils extend down 38 to 42 inches, brushing against the bride’s fingertips.Waltz/Knee

For a dramatic look, many brides may opt for waltz-length veils, which fall to the back of the knees.

Chapel/FloorVeils that extend to the floor may be

referred to as “chapel” or “floor-length” veils. Such veils cascade slightly behind the bride.

Couples must make many decisions when

planning their weddings, including choosing trans-portation for guests to and from wedding ceremonies. Whereas couples once left guests’ transportation up to their guests, nowadays it is customary to provide rides for guests so they can easily get to and from their hotel safe and sound.

The following are a handful of tips to help.

Speak with the hotelWhile professional shuttle

services are an option, couples whose guests will be staying in a specific hotel or hotels should speak with management of the hotels to determine if they offer shuttle services for guests. Many hotels provide airport shuttle service to guests, and couples might be able to use such services. Ho-tels may charge a fee to use the shuttles, but they may offer discounts to couples

whose guests book an agreed upon number of rooms. An added benefit to using the hotel shuttle services is bus drivers won’t get lost.Find a budget-friendly option

Wedding budgets tend to be big, and couples planning their weddings soon realize bud-gets can quickly be busted. When choosing trans-portation for your guests, do not feel pressured to book especially lavish rides. So long as it is safe and on time, guests won’t mind if they ride in a school bus or a fancy limo. Comparison shop

Many companies cater to couples looking for trans-portation for their wedding guests, and couples should explore all of their options before committing to a particular company. Receive formal estimates from several

companies before making your final decision, and speak to companies about match-ing offers. When comparing companies, try to consider both cost and quality. While the lowest estimate might be the most budget-friendly, you should choose the company you feel is most trustworthy and capable of fulfilling your contract.

When planning their weddings, couples

may find themselves becoming experts on subjects they previ-ously never gave much thought. Thanks to the cost of weddings, today’s couples must make each decision carefully, and that may result in hours of research and discussion.

One of the big decisions couples must make when plan-ning their weddings concerns their floral arrangements. The right floral arrangements won’t break the bank but will add substantial aesthetic appeal to ceremonies and receptions. It can be difficult for couples to achieve a balance of cost and look on their own, so the fol-lowing are a few helpful hints when choosing wedding day

floral arrangements.Work with a florist you trust and like

All florists are not the same, so finding one you can trust and will enjoy working with can make all the difference. Many couples have little or no experience with floral arrange-ments prior to planning their weddings, which can cause some angst. Florists with significant wedding experience will no doubt make a host of recommendations based on couples’ budgets and prefer-ences. Couples might be more inclined to listen to that advice if they are working with some-one they trust. Ask relatives, friends or coworkers if they can recommend any florists whose wedding work they are familiar with.

Choose in-season or native flowers

Couples working with tight budgets may want to choose in-season flowers or those native to the area where they will be getting married. In-season and native flowers won’t need to be ordered or shipped in from afar, which can be costly. In-season and native flowers tend to be more abundant as well, and the greater their availability the less couples are likely to pay for them.Go big

Some flowers simply bloom larger than others, and choos-ing such flowers may help you save money since you won’t need to buy as many flowers as you would if you were to go

with smaller blooms. Discuss your options with regard to doing more with less. Many florists embrace the challenge to be creative within a budget, so you might just be surprised and impressed the end result.

Metro Creative

When couples get mar-ried, many changes are

in store and many compromises will be made. But in the weeks and months before their big days, couples can easily get caught up in the whirlwind of wedding planning, never taking inventory of their feelings until their wed-ding days have arrived.

Couples should not be sur-prised if some nerves set in. A survey from the anxiety self-help resource The Fear Source indi-cated 71 percent of brides-to-be suffered from some type of nerves during the lead-up to their wed-dings and 92 percent of brides experienced nerves on the day of the wedding or the evening before. While 66 percent reported that it affected their daily lives prior to their weddings or

hampered their performance and enjoyment during the day itself.Keep an open dialogue

Speak with your future spouse about the things that may be causing your anxiety. Maybe you have doubts on financial choices or where you will be living after the wedding. Com-municating openly and honestly is one of the foundations of a strong relationship.Slow down and breathe

Wedding planning involves making many decisions, and sometimes couples move at breakneck speeds. Make slowing down a priority. Try to enjoy a quiet dinner with just the two of you. When enjoying peaceful moments, take deep breaths, which can be calming and revitalizing. If need be, consider

signing up for a yoga or tai chi class to force you to slow down.Address performance anxiety

It’s easy to build up the big day in your mind and hope everything goes according to plan. But it’s impossible to plan for each and every outcome on your wed-ding day. Focus on everything that can go right, rather than worrying about what might go wrong. Also, realize your guests are your friends and family members who will be forgiving of any hiccups along the way. You’re bound to recover grace-

fully from any mishaps.

Work on confidenceWedding fears may stem from

inadequate self-confidence. Give yourself a pep talk and surround yourself with positive people. Keep the worry-warts at arms’ length for the time being.
