Are you doing old, new, borrowed and blue???

I definetly will be!

My something old is my veil - it was mums and my nan made it for her - something new my dress? - something blue will be a garter I expect - something borrowed maybe a piece of Jewlery or broach or something (broach could be onto my bouquet) - but thought it may be nice to have that part from H2B family?

Yep I will be;

Old: My mum is cutting a bit of her wedding dress (the under skirt) for me to stitch in my dress.

Borrowed: My aunts veil, its 36 years old too.

New: My dress.

Blue: Blue “I Do” crystals for the bottom of my shoes. Cheesy but good.

I'll be doing this too. I'm not sure what my "old" thing will be yet, my "new" could be anything I'm wearing on the day, "blue" will be my garter and "borrowed" is a bangle from my friend.

Thanks for the replies ladies.

It's the borrowed I think I will struggle with as I have everything sorted - I might look in to one of those nappy pin things and pin it to the back of my bouquet.

I can do pretty much everything if I paint my toenails blue apart from the borrowed

I love this little tradition....

Something old - I'm struggling with. will my dad count? ?

Something New - My dress

Something Borrowed - Friends garter from her wedding

Something Blue - my shoes

Are any of you doing the sixpence in the shoe?

I hope to.

My old will be a bracelet my nan have me, my new will be my dress, borrowed will probably be jewellery from my mum and my blue will be..... God knows!

Old: Shoes

New: Dress

Borrowed: Bracelet

Blue: Earrings

Sorted!

I will be doing this. New - dress, borrowed - most likely my mum's pearl necklace but tbc, blue - my engagement ring. Not sure what old will be yet but got 7 months yet to decide.

I hope to get them all done, just for fun rather than the tradition of it

Old - Will get something from my Mum i'd imagine.
New - Will have new jewellery to wear
Borrowed - Will get something from my sis in law I think
Blue - Garter

Yes will be doing...

old: stitching my grandads ring into my bouquet

New: my dress

borrowed: my grans diamond earrings

blue: blue cotton to stitch the ring....I'm not a garter kinda girl lol

& the wedding dress shop I got my dress from gave me a sixpence for my shoe!

Old- My Aunt has passed down my grans wedding ring

New- This will be my bracelet

Borrowed- My OH aunt is letting me borrow her tiara/head piece it's lovely

Blue- I have blue on my garter

?

Update - I've decided to join you girls and do the old, new, borrowed and blue.

Old - I've just ordered a vintage 1950's pearl bracelet

New - my dress and other jewellery etc

Borrowed - I'm going to borrow a pendant off my Mum or Sister in Law and pin it to my bouquet

Blue - My MOH has bought me a blue garter bless her

xx

I like the tradition and yes its fun but whats the sixpence in shoe? Ive not heard of that one before.

Old .....do I count? lol

New ....gorgeous new dress

Borrowed and Blue ....a blue diamond necklace I bought my daughter for her 18th birthday. (she has the earrings to go with it but she is not allowed them until her 21st so it would be rude of me to wear them before she does lol)

I dont do garters ? although my MiL2B keeps trying to talk me round

I think blue toenails are a great idea

So I'm struggling with this one and I do hope this doesn't come out all bride-zilla-ey.

OH's mum has asked to do one for me, she doesnt mind which but just need to let her know.

No-one else in the family (yet.. still 7 months to go) has offered anything and i feel a but rude asking 'anyone got a nice pearl necklace i can borrow'? I feel it's only right to accept a kind offer, not go round begging for things.

I've planned what I'm wearing meticulously and would quite like that to, nclude the jewellery, let's be honest, we've all been given a gift once in our lives that didnt suit, jewellery i think is still quite specfic to a persons taste, and so I don't really want to be put in the position of wearing something on the day that is a gift i cant say no to.... does this make sense?!

So I will be buying my earrings and necklace pre-wedding (as you all know i like to be organised anyway, so would hardly leave something like jewellery to chance in the hope someone gives me some!!)

So old : I want a locket on my bouquet with a picture in each side of both my grandparents wedding days photos.

New : everything i am wearing

Borrowed : no idea - maybe need to grow a pair and just ask my family if there is a pearl necklace floating around....

Blue : think this is the safest option to give oh's mum, what do you reckon. If you were sorting someone's 'blue' most people would go garter right? whatever it is it wont be something obvious, the blue is almost always hidden..

I have 1 thing that is covering all but the new part. My great Nan's Eternity ring, Its sapphire and Diamond and my mum has said for me to wear it, I think I might wear it on a necklace because we are having white and navy theme anyway.
