A traditional lrish bride doesn't spend a fortune on bouquets of exotic flower. Instead,she usually wears a wreath of wild flower in her hair, freshly picked on the morning of her wedding. She carries more wild flowers in her hand, as well as a 'magic' handkerchief and a horeshoe for luck. Part of the bride's wedding dress is usually used to make the christening robe for the frist-born child.
