With wedding season in full swing, experts have looked into how the big day is celebrated in different countries.
If you’re heading to a wedding in Spain then it’s possible that the bride, or novia, will be wearing a black dress. This is partly because the traditional colour for a wedding dress for Catholic brides is black, because it represents the seriousness of their vows and devotion to the groom, or novio.
Although nowadays many women opt to go for the popular white dress, you can still see some brides incorporating elements of black lace to their outfit as a nod to the tradition. Another wedding custom that’s common in Spain is giving the happy couple larras matrimoniales, 13 gold coins blessed by a priest presented in an ornate box, chest, basket or pouch.One of the best known and most popular Italian marriage traditions is handing out bombonieres.
They’re small, fragrant bundles, which contain five jordan almonds. The five almonds symbolise five wishes from the guests for the newlyweds, or novelli sposi: wealth, happiness, fertility, good health and long lives.All French weddings must have a legal ceremony, which is always performed by a mayor at a City Hall, but many also choose to have a second, spiritual ceremony.
You might also get to taste a Croquembouche, a pyramid of cream-stuffed and caramel-coated profiteroles, the traditional option chosen instead of a tiered wedding cake.
