Something Old, Something new...

meggles24, 2 March, 2010 at 10:47 Posted on Planning 0 20

Are any of you girls following this tradition??

If so what are your ideas so far?

OLD- not sure yet (perhaps H2B!)

New- Dress

Borrowed- May have a friends necklace

Blue- hmmmmmmmm

    My old and borrowed were the same. I used my mums diamond stud earrings which my dad gave her on their engagement.

    New was my dress.

    Blue was the garter than my nan made for me which was blue with a blue beaded cross sewn onto it, which has since been worn by every female member of the family who has married. I am now keeping it for my daughter.

    Old - possibly me Nana's pearl earrings - if not, not sure yet!

    New - dress, shoes, necklace if I don't wear my Nana's...

    Borrowed - my best mate's tiara

    Blue - proabbly garter related. Also though about adding little pale blue bows to my underwear. or maybe just buying some blue underwear!! ?

    I literally have no idea what I'm going to do about this! I guess new can be my dress and pretty much everything I'm wearing on the day ?

    If someone makes something specifically for you, can you class that as 'borrowed?' My best friend is making me a tiara. If not perhaps I can borrow a bit of discreet jewellery from my mum or my nan or something.

    God knows what I'll do for blue!

    Old: ??

    New: Dress

    Borrowed: Shoes

    Blue: Garter charm

    Any ideas for old? The shoes I'm borrowing are old I suppose? Only worn once, but still around 6 / 7 years old!

    Old- My ring i got for my 21st birthday from my grandma, it's well old!

    New - Dress, shoes, jewellery

    Borrowed-God knows, no one in my family has got married in over 20 years and that ended in divorce! And i'm the first of my friends! I'm guessing it will be something silly like a hair grip from my bridesmaids!

    Blue - Erm... I'm liking the blue pants idea! No one is going to see them though my dress as it's so big!

    Mrs Spink to be - you can borrow my blue garter charm to attatch somewhere if you like as I'm getting married the month before you?

    Kills two birds with one charm as it were?!

    New: Dress, practically everything I'm wearing actually lol

    Borrowed: Haven't a clue!

    Blue: Shoes! Will be wearing midnight blue shoes under my dress
