old, new, borrowed, blue...

Really struggling with this!

Old: going to raid my parents' house next week for something!

New: dress and jewellery

Borrowed: my future sil's veil

Blue: not sure yet, might get a garter with a bit of blue in it or maybe find some pretty baby blue underwear...

Old - my Nan's ring which she has had repaired and given me as a wedding present

New - dress

Borrowed - my Aunties ivory mink coat to wear to keep me warm!

Blue - my garter, and also little blue bits on my underwear

Don't forget about the silver sixpence in your shoe!

I'm having my dress as new, I'm hoping to borrow an old bracelet from my Gran and for my something blue I am having mine and OH initials stitched on the inside of my dress.

Could you borrow some jewellery from a family member?

Blue underwear's a good idea. Love the idea of having something stitched into dress but I think I'd be too scared to touch it!

I don't think I'm going to wear much jewellery but will have to think of something to borrow...hmm.

My something new is my dress, borrowed will be my jewellery from my aunt, something blue wiill be my garter and not sure on the something old????

New dress

my step mother in law did borrowed and blue together she borrowed a garter off a friend (not wore before it was a gift on her wedding day) the garter was also blue :-)

Something new: my dress

somthing old/borrowed: OH nana is giving me a brouch which will be on my bouquet

Blue: there is a blue flower on my garter

Old - really stuck

New - dress

Borrowed - mother wedding jewellery (only got married last year so not that old)

Blue - garter

Need to think of something old though

New - my dress

Old - my dad died when I was a teenager so I'm going to hang a necklace he wore from my bouquet.

Borrowed - my cousin is lending me a pearl bracelet.

Blue - when my partner's brother got married I noticed his mum gave the bride a (quite tacky) plastic horse shoe, so I am hinting to my partner that he should get one of these in blue to give to his mum to give me! (Cheeky I know!) https://www.etsy.com/ie/listing/85097477/. I'll wear a blue garter or underwear just in case he doesn't sort this out!

Something Old is My Mums Garter from her and my dads wedding 30 years ago

New is my dress

Borrowed is my sisters veil from her wedding

something blue is also my mums garter.

not sure about the sixpence in the shoe thing, i think it may annoy me.

Old: Old sixpence that has been passed down,

New: Dress, shoes,

Borrowed: Friends Veil

Blue: Blue button on my garter, Blue 'I do' stickers on my shoes.

Ooo where did you get the garter from? My OH is also a villa fan and i think he would be very pleased! ?

And what is with the sixpence in the shoe? (excuse me if i am being dim but never heard of this?)

Old- I wore my nans wedding ring on my right hand, she died when I was 8 and my dad gave it to me on the morning of the wedding, AFTER I had my make up done silly man!?

New- DRess, shoes, everything.

Borrowed- My nieces lipgloss shoved into my bra last minute before we left for the church, as I forgot this one!

Blue- My garter had a blue bow on it.

H's mum gave me a silver sixpence for my shoe, which I lost during the photos as I took my shoes off as the grass was wet! Ooops!

Old - Veil

New - Dress, shoes, underwear...!

Borrowed - diamond tennis bracelet borrowed from my MOH

Blue - little blue bow on my underwear

Sixpence - I didn't put it my shoe as I new it would annoy me or fall out so I asked my seamstress to stitch it into my dress during alterations

Old is still being worked out! (or if all else fails, my OH! ?)

New will be a surprise from my OH

Borrowed is my mum's pearl necklace

Blue is my garter, bought by OH's mum whose fave colour is blue

I'm on the Hitched sixpence list, so I hope I'll receive one from there!

New: All my wedding attire

Borrowed: My sis tiara

Blue: Garter with little blue butterfly on to match butterfly theme i'm having.

Old: Would my engagement ring count? we have been engaged for 3 years.

Old: My wedding ring is my Granma's sovereign ring, and my Mums eternity ring melted together.

New: Dress

Borrowed: My sister's garter

Blue: Bow on my garter, and a blue flower in my bouquet

And a sixpence in my shoe!

I always forget about this last part of the rhyme so I looked it up myself: A sixpence was placed in the shoe to bring the couple wealth in their married life. Some brides still place a penny in their shoe during the marriage ceremony (found this on http://www.weddings.co.uk/info/tradsup.htm)

My dress will be my 'new' and I'm thinking a garter for my 'blue', but I can see me forgetting to borrow something and I'm not sure what my old will be ?

Old, vintage brooch in hair piwcw

new, dress

borrowed, earrings

blue, shoes

Something that has been quite popular with past brides was to have the wedding date embroidered in blue thread on the inside hem of their dress.

A fab idea I think, if you don't fancy a garter.

New is obviously my dress

something old is my granny's eternity ring which I inherited when she died. It also covers blue as it has sapphires on it, will be incorporating into my bouquet as it no longer fits my finger put on weight since i was 17 obviously haha

My something borrowed is my cousin's underskirt, i had no idea until the other night when she asked if i wanted to use it to save some money, I know its not a lot in the grand scheme of things, but it covers my something borrowed so Im happy with that!

This is my SOMETHING BLUE.....
