What things are you using?

My new is dress. My blue is my bouquet (dusty blue flowers). My old is earrings given to me by fiancé for my birthday. And my borrow...still up in the air. Lol

My something old is a strand of pearls to wear the day of. My something new would be my dress. My something borrowed while not on me, but is my cake topper. I'm borrowing my parents cake topper that my grandma made for them. My something blue is my garter belt, it's a Michigan Wolverines garter belt. My FH is big Michigan fan so that's for him. And it will be the first and only time I ever wear anything Michigan.

My old will be a bracelet I got from my FH just before he proposed - it's multi gemstone bracelets of flowers. My something new / blue is my jewelry set my mom just purchased me with blue topaz to match the bracelet and my FH's suit.

I'm still working on the something borrowed, initially my plan was to borrow some vintage jewelry from my mom's collection... I may still go that route.

Old - was supposed to be a pin, but my florist forgot it so my sister-in-law (husband's sister) gave me their grandmother's earrings to pin to my bouquet

New - wedding dress

Borrowed - my mom's diamond tennis bracelet

Blue - the socks I wore with my converses

My garter was my something blue

my dress was my something new

something borrowed was a bracelet

My something old is a silk flower my that was my grandmas, and I am going to tie it to my bouquet. My something new is my dress. My something borrowed is my mom's pearl necklace and earrings. And my something blue is my garter.

Ask family relatives, you'd be surprised what they offer, especially knowing you'd like to use it on your wedding day. The easiest is jewelry from a family relative! Good luck!

View Quoted Comment I sent my aunt (dads sister) and my FSIL each a message asking if there was anything that was passed down that I could use. I’m also thinking of asking my moms sister if I could use my late granny’s ring. I just wasn’t sure if I was going to want to wear a lot of jewelry, but I’ll see what they have to offer and go from there.

View Quoted Comment I didn't want a lot of jewelry either. But I did wear a pearl necklace, a broach on the inside of my dress and an ankle bracelet that my mom wears. So I was able to honor a lot of olds and borrowed things and included those family members putting them on and including photographs but only one could be seen. Hope that helps!

Old- possibly my necklace
New- dress & shoes
Borrowed- 🤷‍♀️, I’m thinking about asking FH’s aunt if she has anything of his grandmas I can borrow since she can’t come to the weddingBlue- my socksAnd I got a sixpence anklet rather than putting it in my boot!

Old- I'm wearing my grandmother's wedding ring on my right hand.

Borrowed- I have 2: My cousin gave me her veil to wear as my something borrowed and also one of my best friend's gave me her headband hairpiece to wear.

This what I am doing:

Something Old: my grandma's lace hanky that she carried at her wedding

Something New: my dress

Something blue: I have two options for this. I have a little garter I could wear that is blue, or I am thinking of having part of one of my dad's ties sewn into the lining of my dress. He passed away recently, so I'm leaning towards this one.

I combined a couple. My borrowed/blue was a blue dinosaur pendant. When my SIL and brother got married she didn't have a blue, so I ran to a shop and found a blue stegasaurus necklace and whip stitched it to her skirt lining. I borrowed that from her and had it sewn into my skirt. Old/silver sixpence in my shoe: my stepdad bought me a silver sixpence from Queen Victoria's reign in England (1860s). I walked down the aisle with it in my shoe. I had it in there the whole time, lol. New was basically everything else.

I have no idea about the “borrowed” item. My mom and I looked through her jewelry already and ruled that out. We shall see. If it doesn’t work out, oh well! It’s just for fun anyway lol
