Choosing your wedding broom is a deeply personal part of the Jumping the Broom ceremony. Each design is an opportunity to reflect your style while honoring cultural heritage.
From handcrafted finishes to personalized details, your broom becomes more than a ceremonial piece; it becomes a meaningful expression of your union.
Our handcrafted wedding brooms are thoughtfully designed with elements that carry both beauty and symbolism. From luxurious fabrics to cultural accents like cowrie shells and kola nuts, every detail is selected to honor tradition while embracing modern elegance.
Whether created as a custom design or chosen from one of our collections, your wedding broom becomes part of your story, something to display, remember, and pass down.
At African American Bridal, we believe this tradition is not just something you include… It’s something you carry forward.
So let’s walk through this the way it was meant to be done, slowly, with intention.
Traditional Styling vs Bouquet Style
It is said that the broom spray represents all of us scattered, and the handle represents the Almighty who holds us all together.
Traditional Style
This is where everything begins at the handle and flows downward.
It’s steady. Grounded. Rooted.
The handle is often adorned with meaningful details, ribbons, beads, and symbols, and those elements transition into the broom’s base.
There’s something very balanced about this style.
It reflects order… foundation… strength.
This is often chosen by couples who want something that leans in to the classic and deeply connected.
Bouquet Style
Now this one shifts the focus.
Instead of the story starting at the top, it blooms at the spray.
The broom’s bristles become the centerpiece, full, styled, and arranged like a bouquet.
It’s expressive. It draws the eye. It feels celebratory and bold.
This style speaks to couples who want their broom to make a visual statement while still honoring the tradition.
Every design telles a different story... What's yours..
A gentle guide to selecting the piece that carries your story forward
There comes a moment in wedding planning when everything shifts. It’s no longer just about colors or flowers or what matches the venue. It becomes about meaning. And for many couples, that moment happens when they begin choosing their wedding broom.
Because this is not just something you add to your wedding, it’s something that represents your foundation… Hopefully, this guide has assisted in making your decisions
