“Bride, Be beautiful”
A traditional Irish bride doesn’t spend a fortune on bouquets of exotic flowers. 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 hands, as well as a
‘magic’ handkerchief and a horseshoe for luck. Part of the bride’s wedding dress is usually used to make the christening robe
for the first-born child.
