Revealed: Strange Wedding and Engagement Superstitions

All the Colors of the Rainbow

Not all countries think it is important to get married in a white dress, and the tradition is starting to change in Western countries with many brides opting for different hues. In a lot of countries, including Pakistan, China, India, and Vietnam, many brides traditionally wear red which is considered to be a color which brings luck.

There are some old-fashioned rhymes which might help you pick a color if you don’t want to go with white. If you get married in red, “you will wish yourself dead,” yellow means that you are “ashamed of your fellow,” green means that you’re “ashamed to be seen,” if you get married while wearing pink “your spirit will sink,” if you wear gray you will “go far away,” and if you are wed in black you will “wish yourself back.”
