2) A Wedding Tradition Explained! "The Ritual Bridal Bath" There are many Bridal Bath traditions
all over the world. Navaho tradition has the women of the tribe preparing
a ritual bath for the Bride and helping her dress. An ancient Jewish
tradition called a "Mikvah" also involves the participation of older
women of the community. The Bride is immersed several times in a pool
or body of water and then speaks a special blessing for spiritual purification.
She is symbolically "born anew" as she emerges from the waters and ready
to cross the sacred threshold into marriage. Chinese tradition has the
Bride take her purifying bath the day before her wedding. The ritual
herbs used include bamboo, pine and artemisia which promise her married
life to be long, prosperous and strong.

Some flowers, such as roses, float and can be used as decorations in
ponds at your site or in glass bowls as part of your centerpieces. My
florist floated white roses in the reflecting pool next to the alter
at my outdoor wedding site. The cost for this was practically nothing
because she was able to use some of the less perfect roses. She simply
peeled back and outward the petals from the rose. Play with this yourself
is you want to use the idea. Also ask your florist about other possibilities,
they will know which flowers float and which don't. Recently there have
been a lot of florists at wedding expos showing huge clear glass vases
where the submerged flowers are the display -- you have to see it to
appreciate it, but this is a good way to extend the the life of the
more heat affected blossoms which tend to wilt as the reception goes
into the night.
In past issues I've talked a lot about how you should pick you song
based on how much you love it and /or because it epitomizes your relationship.
Additionally you can further customize your dance. Most couples traditionally
dance immediately following their entrance, when they are announced
to the reception guests as "Mr. & Mrs." You can dance any time you want
in the reception. I had one Bride who had their wedding favors - bubbles
handed out before the first dance so the guests could blow bubbles on
them as they danced. This made for really fun photos but if the song
is a long one be careful not to slip! Our students Allen and Alicia
had the lady on the left signing the words of their 1st dance song for
those guests who could not hear. Personal touches such as these make
your wedding even more special and uniquely memorable.
In addition to the standard wedding flower arrangements,
such as Bouquets, centerpieces and boutonnieres, they are offering a
totally new way to surprise your guests: Embossing on Live Flowers.
