The horseshoes, rather than being actual metal plates, are crocheted and a long ribbon is attached in a loop from end to end. The horseshoe is worn upside down over the arm of the bride during the wedding to bring luck to the marriage. Today, it is the custom to have many young bridesmaids instead of adult attendants. The bride pays for her attendant's outfits. The bridegroom rarely wears a tuxedo - only at a very large, formal wedding.
Business suits are normal.
The bridegroom has a best man, who also wears a business suit. The mother of the bride and the mother of the bridegroom never confer on outfit colors, nor do they take into consideration the bridesmaid colors. Limousines are rare. They are not very practical on small, winding roads. Transport usually is by Rolls Royce or vintage car.
