Wedding Traditions – The Handkerchief
Wedding handkerchiefs are a thoughtful keepsake to give the bride or mothers and fathers of the bride and groom on the big day. The wedding handkerchief is a tradition that dates far back. It is written that the handkerchief originated before the time of Christ over 400 years ago. It has been used as a display of wealth and luxury in the Middle Ages and as a sign of a lady’s favor toward a knight during medieval times. By the Renaissance, handkerchiefs began to serve as an expression of a woman’s love for a man and messages could be conveyed simply by their special placement.
It’s a functional gift you’ll actually use as the bride that also incorporates your something blue. Chances are you’ll have tears of joy on your wedding day and instead of reaching for a tissue, a delicate handkerchief is a much prettier choice for wiping away those tears.
Since the beginning, we’ve gifted all of our brides this beautiful touch of the handkerchief. It’s a tender moment a fairy godmother and her bride cherish forever. Adding this personal touch to a bride’s day just makes it all the more special.
