For those of you who like tradition we thought we would share some inisght on The Horseshoe
The exact association between the wedding ceremony and the horseshoe is not very clear. It is believed however, that the gift of a horseshoe to a bride on her wedding day will bring good luck to the newly married couple. It is also believed that the horseshoe should not be turned upside down in order to... prevent it’s good luck from falling away.
According to Greek tradition, the horseshoe also symbolised a crescent moon that was regarded as a symbol of fertility. It is therefore believed that the horseshoe may also bestow fertility upon the newly married couple.
Another ‘horsey’ related tradition says that it is very good luck to see a grey horse en route to the Church, even more good luck if the bride travelled in a carriage drawn by a grey horse, whilst the luckiest horseshoes came from the hind feet of a grey mare. !!♥
