Something old, something new, Something borrowed, something blue

Something blue - the garter

Something old - im still deciding but probably my great grandmothers pearls that were passed down to me

something new - well that will be the earrings

Something borrowed- i have no idea

I saw a cute idea for something blue. The bride put her and her FH's name on the soles of her heels along with the date in blue letter stickers!

For old and borrowed and blue, I used the garter my mother wore when she married my dad. It is blue. They had been married 45 years by the time I used it. Today, they have been married 61 years. I believe in getting the biggest bang for the buck that I can!

You can borrow a hanky or jewelry for the borrowed.

For something blue, check out charming blue-accented garters at http://forprincessbride.com/store/page5.html on the very bottom of the page (on top, there are handbags). Something old is usually jewelry that has been in the family for some years (or generations). Something new? You are already wearing it: your wedding dress!!! It's amazing how nobody even remembers that fact! Something borrowed? Again, usually it's a jewelry item borrowed from a friend or family. Lois L. - you are in luck: you are having one item that is old, borrowed and blue at the same time, and it also obviously brings good luck! Best wishes to all of you, ladies!

Something old - a handkerchief my grandmother, mother, and sister all had at their weddings

Something new - dress, jewelry!!!

Something borrowed - the veil my sister had for her wedding

Something Blue - My shoes are going to be blue to match FH tie!!!

Something Old & Borrowed - a Brooch that was my great grandmothers that my mom and sister carried at their weddings

Something New - No Idea

Something Blue - my garter

Ok I'm blank.... what exacly is this? is it a custom? Oh and you can buy a paper to have anything printed on it and then iron the logo unto whatever you want. I've seenthem for cheap in Staples a near by office supply store. Plus*** you get to design it whatever way you want to or even have a picture

Something old = Civil Wedding Ring

Something new = Wedding Dress

Something blue = Garter

Something borrowed = Last minute I forgot and I borrowed $5.00 from my Dad, before walking down the aisle.

I want to buy the Sixpence Garter...it has all the elements of the old rhyme and includes a pocket to hold the "and a sixpence in her shoe"...

Old-diamond bracelet he gave me for our first Christmas

new-gown & shoes

borrowed-a hair pin from my sister

blue-pale blue panties

I don't think I am doing it, I mean of course I can get something blue and my gown could be my something new but 'borrowed and old' well no where/no one to get that form, oh well, still will be a fantastic day, right!! )

I was wondering about this, the something blue, does it count if you have a shade of blue in the wedding.. I have baby blue and teal... Or do I have to have something blue? I think I probally will have a flower blue but not sure yet.. I am also doing the pearls as old and not sure about the about borrowed and new would be apart of the wedding like new shoes or something like that...

Something old-moms veil

something new-my dress for now

something borrowed-mom's ring bearer pillow

something blue-garter,(but one of my colors is blue so theres a lot to choose from!)

Something old- probably the necklace fh gave me when we were dating for my bithday something new- my dress something borrowed- im planning on taking something from my mom lol something blue- garter i know im pretty boring lol

SMTHING OLD - ???

SMTHING NEW - MY DRESS

SMTHING BORROWED - ???

SMTHING BLUR - GARTER

OH YEA SMTHING BORROWED - MOMS DIAMOND EARINGS.

If one of your colors is blue that totally counts right??

I have always been under the impression that these items were supposed to be provided your mom/dad/attendants... or perhaps that's a tradition in my family. Either way, my something blue is going to be my shoes.

Also, there's another tid-bit to the rhyme that gets left out due to "flow" of the rhyme: "and a sixpence in your shoe" which is supposed to represent wealth.

The something old is supposed to represent the history of the bride, something new is supposed to represent your future with your husband, something borrowed is supposed to come from someone who is married and since blue is the color of purity it is supposed to represent the faithfulness in marriage.

Originally i wasnt goign to do this cause i didnt even think of it till lik ethe week beofvre! but much to my surprise my mom and freind were looking out for me and made sure i had all 4 things! My somethign old and somethign borrowed was by freind locket that her fiance had given to her as their first gift. i attached it to my garter. My somethign new was my whole outfit lol and My somethign bllue wasnt worn untik the wedding night lol,

Something old - Can be combined with something borrowed -- like mom's pearl necklace, for example.

Something new - All my jewelry and my dress are new. Most everything's new, even your shoes.

Something borrowed - mom's pearls or a grandmother's brooch.

Something blue - most brides get a blue garter but I'm going to carry a blue embroidered handkercheif in a white silk pouch around my wrist.

Best of luck!!
