Speaking about appropriate month for wedding – in the past it was believed that May was not a good time for wedding. A title of the first summer month June is given after Juno, the Roman goddess of love and marriage. So it is considered to be the best month for wedding. The summer as a whole was believed a good time for marriage. It always associated with sun and fertility.

The wedding dress
People said that it is unlucky for a bride to make her own wedding dress herself.
What about colour? These days most brides choose white dresses as this colour symbolizes maidenhood. In the past the traditional colour of Royal brides was silver. Before white dresses brides wore just their best dresses.
The old traditional rhyme offers advice on dress colour:

Married in White, you have chosen right,
Married in Blue, your love will always be true,
Married in Pearl, you will live in a whirl,
Married in Brown, you will live in town,
Married in Red, you will wish yourself dead,
Married in Yellow, ashamed of your fellow,
Married in Green, ashamed to be seen,
Married in Pink, your spirit will sink,
Married in Grey, you will go far away,
Married in Black, you will wish yourself back.

The veil
Traditionally the Roman brides wore white veils. They believed that bride was vulnerable to evil spirits and a veil would disguise the bride from malevolent spirits.
In Britain a tradition of wearing a wedding veil appeared in the 18th century and it symbolized modesty and chastity. In some Eastern ceremonies the face of bride is hidden under veil and the groom is not allowed to see her until the wedding ceremony is finished. In some Jewish traditions there is a ritual where the groom ensures that the bride is his intended before placing the veil over her face.

The best man
The function of the best man is to protect the groom from bad luck. He must ensure that once the groom has gone out to the church he does not return for any reason.

The wedding cake
Cutting the wedding cake is now a part of almost all celebrations and receptions. The couple should make the first cut together to symbolise their shared future. Cakes always have been associated with some holiday. First the Romans began to share a cake during the wedding ceremony. It was not similar to the modern cake. It was not a rich flavoured fruit-cake but plain confection made from wheat flour, salt and water.

Next person to marry
One of the most popular and beloved American tradition is to throw a bouquet. After the reception all unmarried women gather in a hall and the bride throws her bouquet back over her shoulder. That happy female who catches the bouquet will be the next one of those present to marry.
A similar custom is for the groom to remove the garter worn by the bride and throw it back over his shoulder toward the unmarried male guests. And the one who catches will be the next to marry.
