Something Borrowed - what are you having?

I'm borrowing my mum's petticoat

It's in pristine condition from her Wedding to my Step Dad 15 years ago, and it really suits the shape of my dress

I'm borrowing my great grandmother's wedding band. It's being sown into the lining of my dress. She died when I was 10 so it feels like a good way to include her.

I'm borrowing a tiny silver horseshoe that my Mum had on top of her wedding cake - I am planning to tie in with silk around the stem of my bouquet.

It is such a lovely thought to know that I will be carrying a little piece from their wedding and 35 years of happy marriage down the aisle with me and an added bonus that I love horses

I'm borrowing my mums veil which goes great with my dress.

I borrowed a lovely cream pashmina off my MIL for the evening. It was trimmed with cream fur balls which looked like snowballs so worked well with my snowy winter wedding.

I am borrowing my Auntie's tiara. I was bridesmaid at her wedding so it's a special link

I'll be having my grandma's pearl drop earrings as my something borrowed.

We are getting married on what would have been her and my grandad's 50th wedding anniversary and when she heard I was going to buy some pearl drop earrings, she offered for me to borrow the ones my grandad had given her on their pearl wedding anniversary

I'll be borrowing a Silver Sixpence off my Grandma that shes had since she was young!

and I'm going to put it in my shoe.

Shes already given it to me for luck, Just got to keep it safe until the Wedding now! ?

I borrowed my friend's pearls. I was going to buy my own but she told me not to be ridiculous and did me a loan.

I am going to borrow a brooch from my great auntie (who has been like my nan growing up) and put it on my bouquet

Thanks so much for sharing your stories everyone! Jayne E - would you have a picture of you in your borrowed pashmina? If you're happy for me to use it in my feature, my email address is zoe.burke@hitched.co.uk

Sorry Zoe I never got one. Hardly wore it and braved the photos in just my dress in the snow.

Wow hardcore! No worries, thanks for letting me know.
