Wedding Car Hire Milan: Some of the Most Famous Traditions!

Wedding car, dress, ceremony: which traditions should be respected?

It is said that the bride should always enter in style, which is why after the maniacal care of dress and make-up many rely on a wedding car hire Milan... although, of course, these are not the only traditions to be respected!

In Italy, in fact, it has to be said, weddings are always talked about happily: especially when we bring up obsolete ways of doing things or that we put into practice by hearsay but without really knowing why, most of the time giving the classic explanation of "good luck".

And indeed, luck, in a marriage, should be wished for as much as possible: it is an important choice, a dream in which to place expectations and plans for which a lot of positive energy is needed from everyone.

But what, then, are the traditions (lucky or not) that are really indispensable? And what significance do they have?

Watch out for the planning: “of Venus and Mars, you do not have to marry or to leave!”

Customs are not escaped even in the organisational phase, and in fact local tradition dictates that a wedding (and in general any important choice or ceremony) is never celebrated on a Tuesday (Mars) or Friday (Venus).

This is why weddings are often celebrated at weekends (and above all, for religious reasons, on Sundays), but for those who prefer midweek, these are indications to take into account, especially for those who would like to circumvent the risk of any opposing planets!

Before the ceremony: dress and accessories for the bride

White, symbol of whiteness and purity, has been associated with marriage for centuries, not least because of its legacy of chastity.

Yet the symbolism linked to virtue is not the only one orienting the choice of colour: other shades, which tend to be less commonly used, are the subject of different beliefs: ivory, for example, for some is associated with the idea of a troubled marriage, pink with financial loss, and red is even considered by some to be an ominous omen for the couple.

In short, weddings are full of superstition, but as in all such beliefs, it is known that they depend much more on who believes in them than on the good luck (or bad luck) they are said to bring.

But traditions for the bride's outfit do not end there: another custom concerns a series of accessories to be worn that should have certain characteristics.

Tradition has it that the bride should wear something blue, symbol of purity; something old, symbol of the life she is leaving behind; something new, as a wish for the couple's new life; something given, as a gift of love on her important day; and finally something borrowed, symbol of the bonds of family of origin and the affection that will always accompany her.

Falling wedding rings? No thanks!

Although some are quick to point the finger at bad luck in the event of a wedding ring falling off, the reality is not quite so.

If you think about it, it is more common than you might think for something so full of meaning to fall off: for many it is the emotion of placing the pledge of one's love on the finger of one's other half, for others the knowledge that all eyes are on one, for others still the fear of not being able to hold back the excitement.

But what to do if one too many tremors cause the wedding ring to fall off the finger?

Tradition dictates that it is sufficient to prevent the bride and groom from picking it up, and leave the task to the officiant or someone among the guests.

Bad luck (or presumed bad luck) averted!

Why is rice thrown?

This is perhaps one of the most preserved traditions in modern times, although rice is often replaced with other symbolically close objects, such as rose petals.

But why do we look forward to filling the newlyweds' hair and clothes with grains?

This tradition has very ancient roots: it seems, in fact, that since Roman times there was a custom of throwing grains of wheat, oats or seeds on the head of the new couple, in order to draw on the newlyweds a wish for fertility and prosperity in the life to come.

The wedding car and its rules

A bit like the effect a beautiful carriage had centuries ago, the custom of carefully choosing a wedding car hire Milan is another way to give importance to the moment, and preserve a precious memory of it.

The bride, on board the car, should avoid the passenger seat but sit in the back seats, next to her father or the loved one accompanying her.

In these cases, it often happens to us, as Vip Limousine Milano, to be seated at the wheel and dressed in our usual attire: we wait in the car for the end of the ceremony and then welcome the newlyweds and take them to the location chosen for the reception.

But even for drivers there are certain traditions, which is why we honk and make noise when the bride and groom's car passes: it is an ancient custom that served to drive away bad energy!

The bouquet toss

Among the most respected and well-known traditions, the bouquet toss represents the sharing of joy with loved ones.

The bride must turn her back and throw the bouquet behind her: it is said that the lucky friend who catches it on the fly will be proposed to by the end of the year!
