Becca Bloom has never been one to shy away from sharing the rituals and routines she believes shape her reality. Best known online for documenting a high-end lifestyle, it was surprising when this influencer linked up her viral Lake Como wedding to a simple New Year's Eve tradition she did months prior. The moment resurfaced online just as fans were still talking about her extravagant Italian celebration.

Recently, Bloom shared a TikTok that stitched together two very different scenes, including a quiet New Year's Eve moment and footage from her over-the-top wedding festivities. Quickly amassing attention, not because of luxury alone, but because of the superstition she credits for how her year unfolded:

Which New Year's Eve ritual does Becca Bloom credit for her lavish wedding?

The ritual Becca Bloom cited was eating 12 grapes at midnight on New Year's Eve while sitting under a table. In the video she posted December 29, she is seen doing just that, intercut with wedding clips and on-screen text that reads,

"POV: The grapes worked."

The post resonated with viewers familiar with the tradition, which has its roots in Spanish and Latin cultures and is believed to invite good luck for each month of the coming year.

Per the superstition, each grape represents prosperity, health, and happiness for the months ahead. Sitting under the table is often thought to add an extra layer of protection or intention while manifesting the year to come. Becca Bloom didn't explicitly say the ritual caused her wedding, but the implication was clear enough to start the conversation across TikTok.

It went viral in large part because it connected a broadly recognized cultural superstition to a very public result. Bloom's August wedding, which took place in Lake Como, already garnered interest in its venue, elaborate décor, and cinematic details, like colored smoke effects immediately following the vows.

Seeing that kind of spectacle connected back to a modest New Year's Eve tradition gave followers something relatable to latch onto. Becca Bloom has gained a following by mixing personal and luxury content, which fueled interest in the video.

Viewers weren't just watching a wedding recap; they were viewing a story about intention, timing, and belief. Her openness to being low-stress and flexible when rain had people rearranging at the event was an added appeal to make the story down-to-earth despite the scale of the celebration. In the end, Bloom's video wasn't about proving superstition right or wrong.

It was a reflection on a year that delivered exactly what she hoped it would. Coincidence or manifestation, the ritual has now joined her personal story, and for many viewers, a reminder of how symbolic moments can take on meaning once the year comes full circle
