The Brazilian wedding

Marriage has a host of traditions and rules for Brazilians. This is a crucial moment in the life of a person, a couple and a whole family. A tradition of Brazilian marriage is the fact that the groom can not see the bride before the ceremony because it brings misfortune.

The ceremony is different according to the social class and the religious confession of the married. In general weddings are celebrated in the church and then continue in a room. These events are prepared months in advance and guests compete for elegance for the big day.



Here are some examples of the tradition of Brazilian marriage, to understand the functioning of this institution:


The white dress, the bouquet, the rice throw
The bride can sew the first name of her unmarried friends on the hem of her dress (inner part). This would serve to attract an upcoming marriage for them.





The bride also can hide a ticket in her right shoe before entering the church as lucky.
The American tradition also begins to arrive in Brazil: wear a kind of blue garment, a new piece, an old one and a loaned one.
The miniatures of the bride and groom on the cake. Often personalized, they tell an episode of their history and / or a characteristic of the couple.






Bem-casados: cupcakes in 2 layers, glued with caramel or milk jam. Symbolizes the eternal union of the couple.




The groom must wear the groom on his way home for the first time and his first step into the house is with the right foot.
Buffet, appetizers and cocktails are almost mandatory. At the entrance of the party it is customary that the brides distribute small accessories as souvenirs: tongues, hats, giant glasses or boas.
