Something Borrowed - not Jewelry?

Is there something you could possibly wrap around your bouquet as your something borrowed? A necklace or charm? I’ve also seen people borrow a cake knife from parents/grandparents to cut their cake with and that is the something borrowed.

My something borrowed was the lanterns we used as decor. One of my friends used them in her wedding and offered them to us.

My dad also offered an old vintage medical book he had for centerpieces because he saw we were using them.

I don't see anything wrong with asking a trusted loved one...

My mom is lending us the champagne flutes her and my dad used at their wedding as our something borrowed.

Maybe so! I didn't think of something wrapped around my bouquet... that's a great idea! Perhaps from my uncle and aunt... they've been married 32 years!

Darn... we already had champagne flutes custom made and got our cake cutting set. We planned too early! lol these are all great ideas!

I was going to suggest the veil but, I see that's already been taken care of.

How about one of the following:

borrowing a handkerchief (especially a vintage one) to wipe your happy tears.

a pin, cufflinks, jewelry, etc. and incorporate it into the wrap of your bouquet.

do you know someone with a vintage or cool car? How about borrowing it for a couple of fun photos?

if you are religious borrow a bible and have a reading from it used during the ceremony.

a vintage cake topper or cake cutting set.

a hair clip/pin if you are doing an updo.

Good luck!

It can be anything

My grandma offered to loan me her crucifix that she wore to her wedding to wind around my bouquet as something borrowed. If I were Christian I would have LOVED to take her up on it!

I didn’t want to have to buy cake cutting utensils so I asked FMIL if she had any (she loves baking), and she told me she actually still has the ones from her and FFILs wedding! Now we’re going to use those and it makes me happy there is that added sentiment

Can you borrow a nail polish or to wear on your fingers or toes?

I borrowed the song I walked down the aisle to. My mom walked down to the same song in 1986.

I loved asking my family for these. I'm borrowing jewelry but my grandma is doing my something old and offered both a necklaceto wrap around my bouquet, and a piece of lace from her bouquet to incorporate in my dress. Think of different ways to incorporate whatever is offered!

View Quoted Comment Ooo this is a great idea!

My sister's veil is my something borrowed, my engagement ring is my something old (it's my grandmom's) my shoes will be new and i don't have a blue yet.

Yes honey u can

My borrowed was a handkerchief that was made by my great-great grandmother for my great grandmother for her wedding. It has hand made lace along the edges so beautiful. My great grandmother gave it to my mom on her wedding day and I borrowed it from my mom. I wrapped it around my bouquet.

How about a handkerchief. I have one that is borrowed and blue. You can tuck in into your bouquet. For the tears your sure to shed

This is a beautiful idea!!! I will ask my mom if she has one (which, funny enough, I'm giving her a hand-embroidered handkerchief with a message as her gift)!

Thanks for such a lovely idea.
