Back in the day, including “something old” was a sure way to ward off the Evil Eye and protect any future children the couple might have (the Evil Eye was thought to cause infertility in the bride - yikes)! But more generally, and on a more lighthearted note, “something old” represents continuity, and contemporary couples use this as a chance to wear a sentimental piece of jewellery or item of clothing belonging to an older relative. Often the parents of the bride will give her an heirloom before the ceremony. #northeastbride #northeastwedding #tyneandwearbride #durhambride #sunderlandbride #newcastlebride #teessidebride #northumbriabride #northeastbridalaccessories #tyneandwearbridal #durhambridal #sunderlandbridal #newcastlebridal #teessidebridal #northumbriabridal #geordiebride #mackembride #northeaststyle #northeastfashion #localbusiness #shoplocal #supportlocalbusiness❤️
These are thought of as symbolising eternal love due to their having no beginning or end.Why the third finger on the left hand?The story of why the wedding ring is worn on the left hand can be traced back to ancient times. In that era, the Romans believed that the vein in the ring finger (the fourth finger) on the left hand ran directly to one's heart. Because of this belief, they called that vein the "vena amoris" or vein of love. Naturally, to solidify a union based on love, they'd place the ring on that finger that housed the vein of love to signify the romance the newly married couple shares. #northeastbride #northeastwedding #tyneandwearbride #durhambride #sunderlandbride #newcastlebride #teessidebride #northumbriabride #northeastbridalaccessories #tyneandwearbridal #durhambridal #sunderlandbridal #newcastlebridal #teessidebridal #northumbriabridal #geordiebride #mackembride #northeaststyle #northeastfashion #localbusiness #shoplocal #supportlocalbusiness❤️

This tradition dates back to the Middle Ages, when women were traded and sold for marriage. So why does the groom stand on the right side of the altar? Well, your heart is located on the left so the bride stands “under his (groom’s) heart”. This keeps the groom’s right hand (“fighting arm” or “sword arm”) free to defend his bride should an enemy try to steal her away at the last minute. If any man or attacker made it past the groomsmen at the altar, the groom would hold his bride with his left hand, while using his sword or weapon with his right hand against any oncoming attackers. Another explanation for this is that men and women used to be split up when they went to church, with the men sitting on the right side, and women sitting on the left. Because of this, it made sense for the men to stand on the right side of the altar, and the women on the left. In modern interpretations, it is said that when a man and woman join hands at the altar, it symbolises their unity and strength. It also shows their combined resources they bring to the marriage. Another idea is that when newlyweds turn and face their friends and family at the end of the ceremony, the bride is standing to the groom’s right, symbolizing her spot as his “right hand” throughout the rest of their lives together. Whether you choose the right side or not, we thought you’d like to learn a few reasons for this tradition. #northeastbride #northeastwedding #tyneandwearbride #durhambride #sunderlandbride #newcastlebride #teessidebride #northumbriabride #northeastbridalaccessories #tyneandwearbridal #durhambridal #sunderlandbridal #newcastlebridal #teessidebridal #northumbriabridal #geordiebride #mackembride #northeaststyle #northeastfashion #localbusiness #shoplocal #supportlocalbusinesses❤️

Why you need an event Stylist?
An event stylist creates a cohesive, stylish design for your special occasion, ensuring everything works together, from the materials used to the tones and products, we think of all elements. On the day of the event we are there sorting the venue and taking the stress and strain; then we are back again the next day to pack everything up and take it away so you can relax and fully enjoy your continued celebrations. #eventdecor #eventstyling #unsualdecor #alternativedecor #partydecor #weddingdecornortheast #bridesnortheast
