Something, old, new, borrowed and blue?

Those are cute ideas! I’m not following this tradition as it just adds to the list of things I need to do and the list is a mile long already. Lol

I'm planning on doing this, but still have a few things to figure out.

Old: not sure on this one, might be my earrings if I can't find a new pair that I like.

New: dress, wedding band, etc.

Borrowed: a handkerchief that my grandma and mom carried in their weddings - I just have to find somewhere to put it

Blue: my shoes! (I'm still not 100% sold on this, but they're likely to be my something blue.

I love your ideas!

Mine will be:-

Old:- a 1920s hairpiece which belonged to FMIL's family. She gave it to me before we were even engaged and doesn't know I'll be wearing it on the day, hopefully a nice surprise for her. My dress has some 20s/30s inspired accents so it should fit in nicely.

New:- A few things that could fit the bill, I guess my veil or my wedding band? Oooh or my shoes.

Borrowed:- My mum's pearl necklace.

Blue:- I am planning to crochet my own garter in ivory lace and sew some tartan ribbon in FH's family tartan around the middle, the main colour of the tartan is blue. I'm not doing a garter toss though, it's just for me lol.

I wanted to make sure I pay tribute to both my own family and FH's so I thought using FMIL's hairpiece and my own mum's pearls would be a nice touch, something from each of them.

Love what you're doing!

Mine:

Old - still deciding on this one. Maybe carrying a handerchief of my grant aunt's around my bouquet, but not sure.

New - Just about everything. haha. I'm using my necklace that my MIL is making me.

Borrowed - Opal earrings from my mom.

Blue - my garter.

I was planning on skipping it but I pretty much have all of them without trying.

old- my grandma is making me a little purse out of my moms wedding dress.

new- I am buying a bracelet with our birthstones in it to wear.

Borrowed- I don't have but I'm sure I can find something.

Blue- the guardian angel pin for my bouquet.

I was skipping this until my future step MIL completely surprised me at my shower with a trunk of items, which was SO touching. I bawled.

Old - she got me bouquet charms with pictures of FH’s grandparents on their wedding days
New - she bought my veil for me and I had no idea when it would come in, but it had actually come in a few days before my shower so she went to pick it up and had it laying in the trunk
Borrowed - her hair pieces from her wedding day. I may use these for my rehearsal dinner or in some other way instead because I had already bought a hairpiece for my wedding which goes perfectly with my dress
Blue - a custom embroidery piece she had made with mine and FH’s monogram in blue which will be going in my wedding dress

Old - Late grandmother's engagement ring (will wear on my right hand)

New - Dress, wedding band, shoes, etc.

Borrowed - Bouquet rental (the company is actually called something borrowed blooms, ha!)

Blue - Nails

Blue : garter
New : dressOld : my undies ahaha (I had another piece of jewelry I was going to wear but totally forgot it) Borrowed : bracelet

Old - my Mom's veil (it was 45 years old when I got married)

New - dress

Borrowed (this is traditionally supposed to be borrowed from someone who has had a long, happy marriage) - butterfly pin gifted to my mom on my dad and her's 10th anniversary cruise

Blue - panties

I've got nothing except my necklace has a blue diamond in it. I wish I could think of things for old, new, and borrowed 😩

Old/borrowed: my late grandmother's rosary will be incorporated into my bouquet

New: my dress

Blue: new Converses

Old: I am using my engagement ring as something old because it was my FMIL's ring
New: My wedding dress will be my something new
Borrowed: My Mother has a pearl necklace that I will be wearing
Blue: I will be wearing a blue sapphire ring my late grandfather gave me when I turned 16. It was a gift to my grandmother for their 25th wedding anniversary

Old: My FMIL's lace from her dress on my bouquet.

New: My dress!

Borrowed: My mom's catechism pendant also on my bouquet

Blue: A Sailor Moon bow pin!

Those are great ideas!

For mine they are:

Old: a silver/white broach that was my grandmas, she passed away in 2017.

New: My dress and wedding band

Borrowed: Not sure yet lol

Blue: I will be painting my toenails blue since my colors are emerald green and silver so blue doesn't match anything for that lol

Old - The center diamond on my engagement ring belonged to my great great grandmother, and my FMIL cut pieces of her dress to make a wrap for my bouquet.

New - Dress, earrings, garter, veil!

Borrowed - Not sure yet! We are using my great great grandmother's cake topper, and making the same favors my parents did, but I'm not sure this counts as "borrowed"? I also took my fiance's nametape from one of his USMC uniforms and am sewing it on the inside of my dress!

Blue - All my bridesmaids are in blue, parts of my bouquet will be blue, groomsmen ties are blue!

Old - Not sure yet

New - Dress, earrings & shoes

Borrowed - My friends veil

Blue - Garter
