Why a bride should wear a garter

Garters were originally used to hold up stockings and are still regarded by many brides as an essential wedding accessory.  Wearing something Blue often takes the form of a wedding garter incorporating a blue bow or a small Blue Bow stitched into the lining of the Wedding Gown.  The significance of the color blue is that it represents Constancy and Loyalty and from biblical times a symbol of Purity

These associations have been absorbed into folk wisdom and passed on in the form of rhyme.

It is customary for the bride to wear a garter just above o below the knee on her wedding day. After the bouquet tossing ceremony, the groom takes the garter off the bride's leg. All the single men gather on the dance floor. The groom then tosses the garter to then over his back. According to catches the garter is the next to be married.

The Wedding Veil

The veil can be traced back to Roman times when it was a complete head to toe cover.
In a custom dating back to arranged marriages, the groom's family very rarely let him see the bride prior to the ceremony. The groom if displeased with the brides looks may have refused to marry her.
Only after completion of the wedding ceremony was the groom permitted to lift the veil and see his bride for the first time.
