Ceilidh Bands Edinburgh – Something blue
After the marriage rite, it is standard for flowers, petals, or pretty paper confetti to be thrown at the departing couple. In some agricultural areas the couple throw coins to the children who have gathered outside of the church to watch. This is called a’scramble’. This is the reason kids make a bee-line for local weddings. As the couple leave the celebration the groom dips his hands into his pockets ( or sporran ), and throws all his coins out on the ground for the children to scramble for. Another convention often seen during the evening wedding festivities involves the bride throwing her bridal bouquet, typically white roses, over her left shoulder. Her female non-attached bridesmaids and other single ladies in the bridal party stand in a line behind her. The girl who catches the thrown flower posy is by tradition going to be the following in the group to get married.
