This wedding tradition is rooted in nineteenth century in England ( “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue”). Their significance in the wedding, is the following:
Item “old” – means the bride’s family links with her life before marriage. Therefore, most often “something old” is a family heirloom that a bride will wear on her wedding day.

In ancient times, some guests used to steal the socks of the bride when she was with her husband in the nuptial chamber, to see who is getting married next. Other sources indicate a desire of men to steal the bride’s stocking to be successful in love. And for the reason that the bride not to choose herself with the clothes torn during the party, they adopt the system as she willingly throw socks. But some younger guests, more impatient, they wanted to take it by force, so the intervention of the groom was necessary. This has led to today, to the tradition that the groom have to remove the brides socks, replaced later with the garter.

They were caught at the bride’s dress, from head to foot, making it look more like an assorted walking salad . Later, the plants began to be replaced with flowers, only for the esthetic sense, and move from the robes on the bride’s bouquet.
