The Bridal Gown has the most well-known superstition attatched to it. They should not be seen by the groom until the bride appears in church and that it's bad luck for a bride to make her own dress.
In the 1500's most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good.. However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married
