Belgium A lovely tradition has long been practiced in Belgium to make and
embroider a handkerchief for the bride to carry during her wedding. The brides name would also be embroidered on it. Following the wedding, she would them frame the handkerchief and hang it on the wall until the next wedding in the family, at which time it was to be taken down and the new bride's name embroidered on it as well. This was handed down from generation to generation. |
