Bridal Bride Gloves Marriages Ready Superstition Superstitions Weddings Lore


EDITORS COMMENTS
A Bride's Timeless Preparation: Unraveling the Layers of Wedding Lore This photograph captures the enchanting moment of a bride getting ready for her wedding day, circa 1912. The scene is set in an elegant room adorned with antique furnishings, where the bride, dressed in a beautiful white gown, is surrounded by her bridesmaids. As they help her prepare for the most significant day of her life, a sense of excitement and anticipation fills the air. The bridal lore of the early 1900s held many superstitions and traditions that brides were expected to follow to ensure a happy and prosperous marriage. One such custom is depicted in this image: the bride putting on her gloves with her back turned to the mirror. This superstition was believed to bring good luck and prevent the evil eye from spoiling her beauty. The 1910s were an era of grandeur and romance, where weddings were celebrated with great fanfare. Brides would often wear long, flowing veils and intricate headdresses, as seen in this photograph. Their bridesmaids would assist them in dressing, applying makeup, and arranging their hair, ensuring every detail was perfect. As the bride completes the final touches to her appearance, her bridesmaids gather around her, their faces filled with admiration and joy. The anticipation of the wedding ceremony is palpable, and the bride's radiant smile reflects the excitement and happiness she feels on this momentous day. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the rich history and traditions surrounding weddings and the enduring bond of marriage. It invites us to step back in time and appreciate the timeless beauty and magic of a bride getting ready for her wedding day.
