Swedish Wedding Traditions
An old and adorable Swedish custom is for the bride to carry coins in her shoes. One silver coin in her left shoe from her father, and one gold coin in her right from her mother are used to ensure that she will never go without.
Traditionally a Swedish bride will wear three bands, one for her engagement, one for marriage, and one for motherhood, she will also wear a tiara to symbolize her virgin status, although in the past these tiaras were actually crowns made of myrtle leaves.
The bride's bouquet was typically made of the strongest smelling flowers to ward off trolls and other evil creatures. During the wedding, the bride and groom typically entered the church together and the head of the household was determined by whoever stepped over the threshold first or said "I do" the loudest.
