If you want to celebrate a British wedding and observe all the wedding traditions of England – you must spare no attention to detail. For example, for an English-style wedding, bridesmaids dresses are custom sewn from a fabric in the same color as the ties of the groom and best man. The wedding dress is passed down from generation to generation to the future daughter, or is made into baptismal clothes from for the couple’s first-born.
Fortunately, today the British have found an elegant balance between the new trends and the customary wedding traditions of Great Britain. The only old rule still strictly observed is that the bride must have “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a sixpence in her shoe,” when she walks down the aisle.
