Something old, new, borrowed and blue

No idea yet, but I’m definitely following this thread for ideas!!

Is this a cultural believe? Or just for fun thing? Sorry, I have no clue 🙏🏻

View Quoted Comment It’s a tradition that I believe originated from the UK and is still done in the US and UK today.
It’s objects a bride should have on her wedding day for good luck. But as all old traditions they don’t always have to be done nowadays. I think it’s cute and fun

It’s something old, something new, something borrowed something blue and a sixpence in her shoe. Old- mothers pearl earrings- new dress/shoes/undergarments blue - garter Sixpence - from Etsy

View Quoted Comment Yep you’re 100% right. The sixpence part doesn’t get used as often anymore. Did you ask your mom for her earrings or did she offer?

View Quoted Comment I told her what I was looking for and she offered her earrings and my grandmothers pearl necklace but I think the necklace would be too much with all the beading in my gown. So I’m keeping my ceremony jewelry to a minimum.

Something New: dress, shoes, earrings, bracelet
Something Borrowed: diamond necklace from my mom
Something Old: my MOH stuck her baby earrings on one of the straps of my shoeSomething Blue: my MOH sewed a blue bead (from a bracelet we had made at a mystic shop in Hawaii on our vacation together) onto my shoe

View Quoted Comment Ah.... this is fun. Sixpence... bought from etsy?

Something old: my baby bonnet that I wore home from the hospital (in the south we call it a “hanky hat”, it’s tradition to pass them down on a wedding day) that will he wrapped around my bouquet stem
Something new: my wedding dress
Something borrowed: my grandmothers pearl necklace Something blue: light blue ribbon laces for my glitter Kate spades

I had blue garter for something blue. Something new was my dress. Something borrowed was a bracelet and something old was supposed to be a piece of jewelry but I forgot it so it was my undies ahaha

View Quoted Comment Aw I like those! I like sentimental things like that, so sweet from your MOH!

View Quoted Comment Oh yeah I had never heard of that tradition but that is a really great one! All those are great ideas, thanks!

Old: I’m going to have bracelets that belonged to my dad’s parents pinned to my bouquet.

New: the dress (and belt and veil and shoes and slip, and bra 🤪)

Borrowed: I’m not sure yet. I’m hoping I can borrow earrings from someone that’s really the only piece I haven’t solidified yet.

Blue: shoes and garter. Though my mom would try to argue with me and say the teal is green not blue but oh well.

Old: my shoes, I bought them last year for a couple weddings we attended and they're so comfortable, and still in great shape so I'm wearing them again

New: wedding dress, veil

Borrowed: a necklace and bracelet from my sister (they could count as my something old too)

Blue: my earrings have blue gemstones
