Planning weddings is one of our favorite things to do and who doesn't like the beautiful traditions that come with each wedding. In honor of Wedding Wednesday, we chose one of the wedding traditions that has stood the test of time, even with it's modern twist: The Tossing of RIce!
Something that is so simple has such a beautiful meaning. Tossing the rice was believed to bring the newlyweds good luck, a bountiful harvest and many children to work the land. It first started by guests showering them with nuts and grains. During the years of a poor harvest, rice was used instead. This tradition still continues today, but like I said it has evolved! Guests now blow bubbles, toss rose petals or even feathers to wish the Bride and Groom much happiness!
We love this tradition and all things weddings! Happy Wedding Wednesday everyone!
XOXO,
Aelicia & Rachael
