French Weddings + Filipino brides


Another interesting way to tie the knot
is by having French weddings.


It is a practice in most French towns that the groom meets the bride at her home on the wedding day. The bride and the groom walk together to the ceremony with children running along with them throwing white ribbons that the bride cuts while she is walking. They believe that fragrant flowers will cast of evil spirits so the flowers are used for the decorations and bouquet.

 The couple stands under a silk canopy which is believed to protect them from bad luck. After the wedding ceremony is done, laurel leaves are scattered outside the church. The guest usually brings small cake in the reception and they are piled in the middle of a table. It is a belief that if the bride and the groom get to kiss over the top of the cakes, it will symbolize a long life together.



Filipinos have an interesting wedding culture. It is a belief of the Filipinos that brides should not try to wear the wedding gown before the wedding day. The groom should be the first one to arrive at the wedding ceremony before the bride to avoid bad luck. It is also their practice that siblings should not marry at the same year. Rice confetti is being thrown at the bride and the groom to bring them prosperity.



Different countries have different wedding cultures in which the couple may adapt to when they have their big day. Get to know different countries wedding culture. It will definitely be a unique and memorable wedding.
