Wedding Traditions: Bridesmaids

Your best friends who have always been there for you, of course you want them standing next to you on your big day! Bridesmaids are your right hand ladies. From picking out your wedding dress to wedding showers and bachelorette parties, your bridesmaids are there. However, that is not what bridesmaids were always for. Originally, bridesmaids were there for protecting the Bride from evil spirits. The bridesmaids dressed identical to the bride in order to confuse the evil spirits. Nowadays, bridesmaids’ dresses are all about fashion. Some brides choose for their bridesmaids to wear dresses that all look alike while others opt for something different. So, whichever style you choose just remeber to be thankful for your girls!

Wedding Traditions: The Diamond Engagement Ring

Photograph by Corinna Hoffman Photography

The glow of candlelight fills the room. Empty plates from a delicious homemade dinner by your loved one sit on the table. You walk out onto the balcony and smell the salt air. When you look to your right, your loved one is down on one knee with a stunning diamond ring. This beautiful scene or one similar to it happens 2 million times a year! So why the diamond ring?

The first recorded diamond ring was in 1447. The Archduke Maximilian of Austria presented a ring with flat pieces of diamond in the shape of an M to Mary of Burgundy. Diamond rings became more popular in the upper class. Then it began spreading to all. In 1886 the famous “Tiffany Setting” was introduced by Tiffany & Co. that featured 6 prongs to maximize the diamonds brilliance. Later that decade diamond engagement rings became more affordable and appeared in mail order catalogs, like Sears. Around the great depression diamond prices fell and the diamond engagement ring was going out of style with the younger generation. That is when De Beers created the campaign “A diamond is forever”. This slogan spurred more sales as it supported the American ideal of marriage being forever.

The diamond is still the most popular gem used in engagement rings today. 70% of brides in America have a diamond engagement ring. The diamond signifies strength and purity. What a beautiful symbol to represent the beginning of a marriage.

Photo by Corinna Hoffman

Thick, waxy flowers with five pointed petals per bloom and hollowness in the lip of the flower are the features of the beautiful Cymbidium Orchid. They grow on long branches with 6 or more blooms on each branch. This stunningly, unique flower comes in a rainbow of colors from white to yellow, green to pink, and red to brown. This flower is considered a gift of respect and friendship.

This plant bloom can last 4 weeks if taken care of properly. Place in a spot with light, but avoid the full heat of the sun. Fresh air is good for the plant. Make sure to water regularly, but avoid overwatering.
