RichTok Influencer Becca Bloom Credits Her Extravagant Wedding to This New Year’s Eve Tradition
TikTok influencer Rebecca Ma, who goes by Becca Bloom online, is revealing one of her favorite New Year’s traditions.
With 2026 fast approaching, Bloom decided to take a look back at the way that last New Year’s Eve set the tone for her successful 2025.
Back in August, Bloom married her husband David Pownall in Lake Como, Italy in an elaborate ceremony that captured the attention of the internet.
Now, she is crediting the day’s success to one popular New Year’s Eve superstition.
In a new TikTok, Bloom showed a clip of herself eating grapes underneath a table last New Year’s Eve before showing a series of clips of her glamorous wedding.
Text on the screen of the video read, “POV: The Grapes Worked.”
Eating 12 grapes as the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s is a popular superstition that originated in Spain to usher in luck and abundance in the coming year.
Eating them under the table is said to attract your soulmate.
Clearly, Bloom is implying that the tradition worked for her, since she was lucky enough to marry her soulmate with a shockingly opulent ceremony and reception.
Some of Bloom’s fans congratulated her in the comments.
“I’m so happy for you becca, you are gorgeous and you deserve a happy and great life!” one fan said.
However, other viewers pointed out that Bloom didn’t really need “luck” when it came to planning a beautiful wedding since she comes from an extremely wealthy family.
“MONEY babe. the MONEY worked 😂😂😂,” one viewer commented.
“it is not about grapes it is about your money,” another added.
Others jokingly asked “what brand grapes did you use” or “What brand of table did u use ???🥲” implying the tradition didn’t seem to work as well for them as it did for Bloom.
However, Bloom did get lucky on her wedding day in one important way that money can’t buy: the weather.
The forecast had predicted a 100% chance of rain the entire day, but persistently rainy skies seemed to stop just in time for Bloom and Pownall’s outdoor ceremony.
“It felt as though the skies had opened just for us,” Bloom told Vogue of the moment. “Guests stepped off the vans into perfect, room-temperature air with a faint shimmer of sunlight breaking through the clouds. As I walked down the aisle, a soft gust of wind lifted my veil as though I was being guided by something beyond us.”
Maybe the grapes channeled some good luck for her after all.
