gowns cinched at the waist and
overflowing with tiers of ruffles.

of her wedding day look, today’s
bride opts for the warm beauty of
real gold jewelry in sumptuous
all-gold designs or accented with
semi-precious elements.

Superstition and folklore have
long been associated with love and
romance. In ancient times,
charms, magic potions and other
supernatural or magical forces
frequently were employed as a way
of trying to control one’s destiny -
especially matters of the heart.
Love Potions: A Book of Charms
and Omens (Salem House Publish

For every bride, the way she
expresses her own femininity is

Addison, that if the bride did not
cut her wedding cake that she
would remain childless.
