Themed weddings never go out of style, just like weddings that feature a primary color. Well, this is in addition to the classic ones. And each newlywed couple chooses for themselves a suitable scenario and, accordingly, design. For those who like the sea element and white and turquoise tones and, of course, everything related to the sea (shells, pearls, sand), we suggest creating several stylish accessories for a wedding in a marine style. These will be glasses for the newlyweds, plates for beating “for good luck” and a shell for rings in the registry office. Hand-made wedding accessories will surprise all guests, and will remain as a keepsake for the newlyweds!
All items are made using decoration techniques.
We will need:
- Two plates without a pattern and 2 glasses
- Shells of different sizes, shapes and colors (but preferably light ones), decorative elements
- Piece of white coral (optional)
- Turquoise tulle
- Narrow satin ribbons in white, milky and blue colors
- Scissors
- Universal glue “Russian titanium”
- Hot-melt gun with hot glue
- Blue nail polish
- Small beads (transparent), artificial pearls, half beads
Beating plates “for luck”
Using smashing plates “for good luck” is a nice thing to do. Because they decorate the wedding, are made in the same style and their fragments do not leave “traces”.
I’ll say right away: now it’s no longer fashionable to break a bottle of champagne - you can get doused with it, or even get hurt on the glass. The tradition of welcoming newlyweds before a feast with bread and salt and glasses of champagne remains in the past. The newlyweds drank and ate, and the glass hit the floor for good luck. Also extra hassle for cleaning.
Cut out two squares from turquoise tulle (we estimate the size to be larger than the plates), round the corners.
We wrap the plate, carefully collect and tie the ends at the top.
We tie it with four narrow satin ribbons of different colors. We decorate with shells and pearls. We attach all parts with hot melt glue.
After the young people break the plates for good luck, the fragments will remain inside the tulle “bag”.
When should glasses be broken?
In Russia there is no specific tradition when to break glasses . The Russian people love to do this, so even if someone drops something, you can always hear that it is for good luck. The newlyweds themselves determine when this event will occur.
Mostly they do this after official registration, immediately leaving the registry office or while walking.
However, in both cases, you must be extremely careful. Because broken pieces can hurt someone. Think in advance about who will clean up the trash after you and how. It won't be scary if you ask one of your friends to do this.
After you move away from the broken wine glasses, your friends will quickly remove the rubbish and throw it in the trash.
Many newlyweds love this tradition so much that they break glasses several times during the evening. In this case, you will need to stock up on more than one set of wine glasses.
It is not forbidden to do this, so talk to your host in advance so that he can prepare beautiful words and wishes for this event.
There are several interpretations of broken wine glasses. According to one version, broken glasses symbolize the fragility of relationships and the need to preserve and protect them. According to another interpretation, glasses mean good luck, prosperity and happiness, which they bring to the house.
According to one version and another, broken glasses have only a positive meaning. Therefore, do not be afraid and break them boldly, thereby attracting prosperity, luck and happiness.
After glasses are broken, some people collect them and do not throw them away. There are explanations for this. According to superstition, the fragments should be buried in the garden of the family home. In this case, luck and love will always reign in your home.
This is interesting: Bread and salt at a wedding is a tradition that never goes out of fashion
If you live in an apartment, then you should bury the glass fragments on the left corner of the house . This is a ritual that not everyone follows. If you are traditional, then be sure to follow all customs and traditions.
Glasses for newlyweds
We will also decorate the glasses with shells, beads and pearls.
We wrap a blue satin ribbon around the stem of the glass and attach both ends to a drop of hot glue. Glue transparent beads imitating sand to the base using universal glue.
In eco-style, natural sand would also be appropriate, but we have a more romantic option, so beads.
We add shells, a bow, and half beads.
For another option for decorating wedding glasses with shells, see the TaniDeco video:
Instead of a cushion for rings at the registry office, we will offer the newlyweds a shell. It consists of many small elements assembled in tiers. This is how the volume of the composition is achieved.
First, paint the edges of the large shell with blue nail polish and let it dry. Apply “Russian Titanium” universal glue on top, and on it - transparent beads, like on glasses.
We will tint the bottom of the shell in several places with the same blue varnish. Then we glue a piece of coral, blue ribbons, pebbles, and shells on top.
I omit the step-by-step aspects of assembling the composition - your imagination will help you here. Between the shells we place half beads, pearls, and small shells.
The rings themselves will be located in two inverted shells on pearls.
In general, it must be said that there is no consensus on why dishes are broken at a wedding.
There are several traditions associated with breaking plates or glasses, and they all have different roots. Strewing fragments of household utensils is a path to family happiness not only in Russia. Glasses are broken at a Jewish wedding, in Germany the groom breaks dishes in front of the bride, and the more plates he breaks, the better, and in England the groom throws a dish with pieces of pie or flatbread over the head of the chosen one. If, having fallen, the dish does not break, the groom's witness will wait until the smallest guests take apart the treat and trample on the dish so that it certainly shatters into small fragments. We will write about why this is done below. Is it necessary to remove the fragments and who should do it? What kind of dishes should be beaten? What do these rituals mean? So, the main points when breaking dishes:
- Origins of tradition.
- What to do with the fragments.
- Nuances.
Breaking dishes at a wedding - what is it for? Our ancestors endowed things with various magical abilities. So, on the dishes, for example, they used to guess about... the chastity of the newlywed. On the wedding day, the girl’s family demonstratively broke a clay pot taken from her mother-in-law’s house. If the dishes flew into pieces, the girl was clean, but if not, the parents and the bride had to blush in front of all the honest people. Of course, fortune telling is not the most pleasant, but it still happened. And it is not surprising that the bride’s relatives tried to squash the pot so that it would not just split, but fly apart. By the way, they used the fragments to guess who would be born first in a young family. If there were more large pieces, then the first-born was a boy, if there were small pieces, then the first-born was a girl. It was up to the girl to clean up the consequences of this unpleasant fortune-telling, and the guests had every right to make fun of her and disturb her. Now the pot has been replaced by crystal glasses, and young spouses must beat them together.
There is also a version that the breaking of glasses by newlyweds comes from the expression “family ship.” They say that before the ship departs, something is supposed to be broken against its side. But this is highly controversial. Although it is difficult to say exactly where the tradition of breaking dishes at a wedding came from, since the modern version is quite different from the old customs.
As for other countries, at Jewish weddings the newlyweds break glasses as a sign that they preserve the memory of the destroyed Temple of Jerusalem. In England, the dish is also thrown over the bride's head to test her innocence, but here the tradition is kinder to the girl. If the dish remains intact, the groom's friend is obliged to break it with his feet. Well, in Germany, the groom defends the girl’s honor on his own, smashing plates in front of his beloved and dancing on them until he gets small fragments. In principle, in Russia it is also quite possible to replace glasses with plates.
Why break dishes at a wedding, of course, but what to do with the consequences? Since there are many weddings on certain days, quite a lot of sparkling fragments accumulate near memorable places. Of course, utility services are well aware of how important it is for newlyweds to observe centuries-old traditions, and by the evening, when banquets in restaurants begin, everything is usually swept away by workers with brooms and shovels. But it’s still not good to throw sharp fragments like that. Of course, now no one will force the bride to sweep away everything on her own, like in the old days. But, given that both children (including small guests walking at a wedding) and animals can be seriously injured by fragments, it is best for witnesses to take a strong bag, a broom and gloves with them. Removing the consequences of the holiday is a matter of two minutes, but your soul will be calm. Moreover, the places chosen for breaking glasses are usually memorable and popular.
Are there any little things that should be taken into account by newlyweds who are going to break dishes according to tradition?
Basic details when breaking dishes at a wedding:
- You can break not only glasses. Any vessel that shatters into pieces because it was deftly launched into flight by the newlyweds will bring them happiness. It doesn’t really matter what plates to beat at a wedding.
- If at a wedding a guest accidentally imagines himself to be the newlywed and becomes the culprit for the destruction of a plate, glass, etc., he should symbolically pay the bride and groom. For example, give away a small coin. This is done so that happiness does not go to someone else’s house.
- It is considered a bad omen if glasses intended for breaking by newlyweds break on the way. Therefore, they must be packaged well.
- You can't break old glasses. They must be new and expensive. Moreover, other glasses are bought for the banquet, which are then kept in the family.
- In winter, when there is a chance that glasses will fall into the snow without breaking, the witness should find a brick or stone on which to throw the glassware.
But, of course, happiness does not depend on the dishes, but on the feelings that the newlyweds have for each other.

About tradition
Why break glasses on the day of celebration? Many peoples have a belief that broken dishes are good luck . At the same time, they justified the breaking of fragile objects in different ways.
The ancient Greeks believed: if everything seems to be very good, you should expect trouble - after all, the gods are envious of other people's happiness. By breaking a valuable object and being upset at its loss, they thereby averted the wrath of the gods and preserved their happiness.
For Jews, expensive dishes broken during the holiday are a reminder of the once destroyed Jerusalem temple .
The essence of the custom is that even in moments of greatest joy, a true Jew must remember this greatest sorrow in the history of the people. This is interesting : How to choose a towel for a wedding ?
(link) And among the Slavic peoples there was a custom of breaking clay pots at weddings , thereby symbolizing the transition of the bride from the status of an unmarried girl “to a wife.” A broken pot represents the newlywed’s chastity given to her husband.
At the same time, they beat the pots with the saying: “How many pieces, so many sons.” This was a kind of fortune-telling wish for the birth of a large number of sons (daughters, as always, were not taken into account).
In modern wedding traditions, broken glasses are an attempt to ward off evil and failure.
By breaking fragile vessels, the newlyweds seem to be telling fate - not everything is so perfect here, there is nothing to envy, no need to harm. For many, breaking wine glasses is also a rejection of their previous carefree single life.
Just as cracked crystal cannot be glued back together without leaving a trace, newlyweds cannot return to a life unencumbered by marital responsibilities.

Later they are taken out on important holidays and memorable dates. It could be a wedding anniversary or the birth of a child.
Therefore, you should prepare in advance two glasses that you will break. Since they were originally intended for beating, they do not need to be painted or beautifully decorated. Choose the simplest and easiest options.

Interpretation by the number of pieces or cracks
If the dishes begin to become covered with cracks, it means that negative energy has accumulated in the home. This is why plates cannot withstand bad influences. They try to clean the house, so they become unusable. Owners should closely monitor the situation. It must remain favorable.
A cup with several cracks warns of betrayal. In the work sphere, betrayals are possible. A chip on the dishes indicates that the relationship between the spouses has seriously deteriorated.
If the plate breaks into a large number of fragments, then the interpretation of the sign has a positive message. In the future, exclusively pleasant and happy events await a person. His life will be harmonious.
There is no consensus on whether this superstition is favorable or negative. Some people expect problems and troubles from broken dishes. Others, on the contrary, set themselves up in an optimistic mood.
However, the most common signs can be identified
:
- A plate that has turned into a pile of fragments warns of unpleasant news. However, it is worth paying attention to one nuance. The interpretation of the sign will turn out to be correct if it was not possible to collect all the pieces immediately.
- If the plate is broken into two halves, then enviable achievements and joyful events are approaching.

The origin of the tradition of breaking glasses at a wedding
There are several versions of the origin of this tradition. During the period of Ancient Russia, the day after the wedding, the wife broke a clay pot.
The number of fragments was used to judge how happy the couple would be and how many offspring were expected.
If the pot remained intact, it was considered a sign of an unhappy future family life. Also, pottery was associated with the chastity of the bride. A whole pot promised real trouble, because all the relatives firmly believed in this belief and it was impossible to convince them.
Ancient Greek beliefs say about breaking a pomegranate: the more pomegranate seeds scatter near the door of the house, the richer the life of the newlyweds will be. Well, in Germany, the tradition of breaking dishes is embodied by relatives. The newlyweds, in turn, independently remove the fragments of the plates, thereby overcoming the difficulties that arise without anyone’s help.
The exact time when, according to tradition, the newlyweds break their glasses at the wedding is not specified. This usually happens after visiting the registry office or towards the end of the feast. It is even possible to repeat the tradition several times during the celebration. Consider inexpensive options for wedding glasses for this custom; festive wine glasses with an original design should be saved for photo shoots. The latter are stored throughout life, because they are drunk from them on special occasions - the birth of children, wedding anniversaries, etc.
Wedding glasses
According to customs, glass or crystal dishes are selected. It is believed that crystal has magical properties and helps maintain harmony and love in the family.
Where are glasses broken at a wedding? Of course, choose a spacious place outdoors or in nature. Usually the ritual takes place in front of the entrance to the banquet hall: the parents treat the couple to a loaf of salt, the newlyweds eat pieces of it and wash it down with champagne, after which they throw the glasses behind their backs.
Don't rush to throw away the fragments. They say that they should be buried either under the northern corner of the home or under the family tree.
If the groom's glass turns out to be intact, this promises the birth of a boy, if the bride has a girl.
The shape of the fragments also determines the sex of the child: the larger the fragments, the greater the likelihood of the birth of a hero.
To the question “over which shoulder should you throw glasses at a wedding?” there is no clear answer. Newlyweds make their own choice and do not pay much attention to this detail. We drank champagne, threw away the glasses and said goodbye to our single life without regret. However, according to Russian tradition, glasses are thrown with the right hand over the left shoulder behind the back. Since it is on the left side that a person has evil spirits.
Where and when to break glasses at a wedding
“This is for luck!” - can often be heard while breaking glasses. The tradition of breaking dishes is a kind of metaphorical symbol of the transition from single life to married life. The young drink the contents of the glasses to the bottom, thereby saying goodbye to a free life. For final disposal, the glasses are broken. The ringing melody of crystal and sparkling splashes of champagne are worth capturing on a photo or video camera.
According to signs, if a wedding glass breaks after the wedding, the newlyweds thus attract prosperity, joy and good luck into their marriage
Some note that breaking glasses represents the idea that a marriage is a fragile thing that needs to be protected. Damaged glasses cannot be glued together. Crystal dishes are deliberately broken to prevent quarrels. Broken glasses should collect all the negative energy and become the only things spoiled in the marriage. As a rule, any unwanted events occur unexpectedly, so a reminder of difficulties on the happiest day of their life should protect the couple from all possible misfortunes. Another reason is an ancient belief, the essence of which is to scare evil otherworldly forces with the sound of broken dishes. Broken glasses at a wedding serve as a talisman against evil spirits.
If the glass does not break at the wedding, then according to signs, discord in the relationship is possible, up to and including divorce. You should quickly neutralize the negative moment and scare this misfortune away from yourself: the groom’s friend comes to the rescue and breaks the naughty wine glass with his foot.

Good day to everyone who visited my page. I'll tell you about my experience in decorating a wedding plate. I started decorating after my younger brother told us about the wedding and after my mother and I visited a number of wedding shops. Having seen the prices that were there, I decided that I myself could make it no worse than in the store and much cheaper.
In my work I used:
1. Fabric left over from some bouquet of flowers given to me by my husband. (Since the bouquet was large, after trimming the fabric that was in the water, a decent piece of fabric remained)
2. Scraps from the curtain (the curtain itself is in the background). 3. Satin ribbon. 4. Self-adhesive beads. 5. Fabric flowers. 6. Rubber band for money 2 pcs. 7. Glue moment-gel. 8. Monofilament. 9. Lighter for finishing edges. 10. Plate 12. Good mood, free time, desire to make a beautiful thing with your own hands.
We prepare the plate, wash it, and remove all labels and stickers. We wash, iron all the material, cut off the piece of fabric we need to the size we need. Since the fabric from the curtain is very thin, I had to take the fabric left over from the flowers, it was much thicker and holds the plate well. We lay out the fabric, place a plate in the middle, form beautiful folds and secure with an elastic band.
We lay out the fabric from the curtain, also put a wrapped plate in the middle, form beautiful folds and also secure with an elastic band. We fasten the elastic band so that it lies on the lower elastic band. We cut the fabric from the flowers as close to the elastic as possible, and we collect the fabric from the curtains in our hand and align the edges, then carefully melt the edges with a lighter.
We tie the place where the elastic is attached with a satin ribbon, make 6 tails, cut them diagonally and melt them with a lighter. We decorate the satin ribbon with self-adhesive beads (since they don’t stick well, I glued them on with glue)
In the middle of the cut fabric from the flowers, we sew flowers from the fabric using monofilament (before pulling the thread, I smeared the flowers with gel for reliability and then tightened the thread)
After all the decor has fallen into place, we straighten the tail of the fabric beautifully

The change received after purchasing a veil, shoes, or dress is not spent for as long as possible, at least for at least three months. Hide this money so that no stranger can take it into your hands.
Remember: the most successful days for matchmaking are 3, 5, 7 and 9. And on Wednesday and Friday it is better not to get married. Saturday and Sunday are perfect for weddings and weddings (although there are variations in different churches), although Americans consider Monday to be the best day for weddings. The optimal time is the second half of the day.
TO THE POINT
Guests, do not give red roses!
You cannot give red roses, forks, spoons, knives, or underwear to the newlyweds; come to a wedding in black clothes; cross the path of the bride and groom when they go to the Civil Registry Office or to church; You cannot wash the dishes (let the service staff do this).
