The wedding handkerchief is generally passed down from mother to daughter and from generation to generation. This tradition has been dated back to the early farmers that believed a bride's wedding tears were "lucky" and brought rain for their crops. This belief transformed into the idea that the bride's tears meant that she would never cry another tear through her marriage. These days, women carry a handkerchief to dab away the tears of happiness and joy.
There are various forms of bridal handkerchiefs for:
- Brides
- Aunts
- Mothers
- Grandmothers
- Sisters
- Cousins
- Etc.
