Something old, Something new etc

Don't forget your sixpence in your (left) shoe!

Old - is my sixpence

New - frock and accessories

Borrowed - earrings of my mom

Blue - ribbon on garter

Oh god yeh! Is the one from hithed still going strong? I thought it was a lovely idea but I never put my name down for some reason.

Well I am in a way doing this, although in a funny way. My OH has told me he will be saying this in his speech!

Something old - him

New - My dress

Borrowed -(not sure about this yet!)

Blue - My mind apparently!

Bx

Old - either my MIL2B's or my grandma's engagement ring

New - dress

Borrowed - family veil

Blue - sapphire earrings

Our "blue" is a moody teenage stepsister...

My something old is also my something blue. My dad's partner managed to accidently wash one of his white hankies in a dark wash and it has turned blue! Fantastic! And it is a standing tradition that whenever i go out with my dad he always carries a spare hanky that i normally end up pinching. You can guess what his traditional xmas and birthday presents are.

Anyway sorry i've gone off track a bit. My something new will be my dress, veil, shoes etc but i am struggling with my something borrowed at the moment.

Blue could be my face if OH turns out in a blue cravat! ?

New - most things, dress, accessories etc

Borrowed - borrowing my sister's garter

Blue - most things! It's both mine and OH's favourite colour, my engagement ring has sapphires in it, BMs will be in blue etc

Old - this is where I'm a bit stuck. I guess by then my sister's garter will be old, but I'd like to find something better.

Old- my grandmother's pearl necklance, my mum and sister also wore/ will wear it for their weddings

New- dress etc

Borrowed- not sure yet, could the necklace also count?

Blue- shoes, sapphires in engagement ring, flowers.

Old - my pearl bracelet my dad bought me when I was young

New - dress, shoes, earrings, necklace - most things!

Borrowed - mum, gran and great-gran's wedding rings which will be attached to my bouquet somehow

Blue - garter I had made in OH's football team colour and also royal blue is one of our colours anyway so will be everywhere!

Old - my wedding ring (is my mum's)

New - my dress/jewellery/etc

Borrowed - SIL2B's veil

Blue - I've got an old hankie of my Dad's in my "memory box" which i realised (thanks to a lovely hitcher) has a blue "J" embroidered on. means a part of him will be with me. Don't think I'm going to tell anyone though

Sixpence - I got one of these in my H secret santa! Hooray!

Old - my Mum's necklace that she wore on her wedding day, if she can find it

New - dress

Borrowed - MIL2B's garter, again, if she can find it (although am thinking that maybe this is a bit weird to be wearing MIL2Bs garter!?!?)

Blue - nothing yet (TBC!) but possibly me and my bridesmaids as getting wed in December so could be pretty chilly...

Old - Mum gave me an old pearl neclace which was her nan's, so this is being used for details on my dress.

New - Garter

Borrowed - Have set my chief this task.

Blue - Garter

And have my sixpence for my left shoe too x

Old - (doubled up with borrowed, don't think that's allowed but never mind!)

New - dress

Borrowed - my mum's pearl bracelet that my dad bought her when they first got together

Blue - I added a blue crystal to the extender chain on my necklace

Haven't really thought about this but I really should!!

There are some lovely ideas on here though!!

My something Old is a Silver Six Pence from 1951 so that it's exactly 50 years old for the wedding that my Chief Bridesmaid got specially for me (it was her idea)

My something new is pretty much everything I am wearing

My something borrowed is the ONLY one that I have NOTHING for lol!

My something blue is my garter I got when I was in LA (USA) in Victoria Secret which is lovely and has blue in it

Old & Blue- an opal ring my nan gave me

new- dress

borrowed- didnt really have one but a friend gave me a lucky sixpence and she is geting marrie din Dec, so i decided to gve it back to her and use that as my borrowed!

stangel the box of the sixpence says that the father of the bride should place it in her left shoe for luck and then has "something old something new, something borrowed, something blue and a lucky sixpence for your shoe!"

id never heard that version b4!

New - dress

Borrowed- My sister's hoop

Old- My mum's given me something me of my nan's

Blue - In my garter

If its any help toy you -my something blue was a blue swarovski crystal loveheart charm - they sel them for they're charm bracelets - mine cost £13

I make and sell these charms for £5 with Swarovski Crystals. People generally hook them to their flowers or in the corset laces. The hearts are available for a bracelet as well and I add blue swarovski crystals to jewellery orders for free. x

I'm half-way there - I've got "new" take your pick from Dress, Tiara, Veil or Jewellery and "old" my Nan's oridginal wedding ring.

Can't think of blue and borrowed - my language could be blue when I'm shoe-horned into my dress.

Old - my Nana's pearl necklace
New - Tiffany earrings from Mr GB
Borrowed - tiara, borrowed from my best mate / bridesmaid
Blue - my blue saphire ring I always wear on my right hand

Mine runs like this:

Old - my necklace - it was a present to my grandmother sometime in the late 1930's early 1940's - wartime, anyway.

new - pretty much everything else!

Broowed - having a panic about this at the momment, don't have anything borrowed

blue - am planning on having a blue pedicure the day before...

I also have a sixpence.

Don't know what I'm going to borrow though - bit of a worry as the wedding is 3 weeks away and I need a solution to the problem...

New - dress and shoes

Borrowed - veil and tiara

Blue - blue beads on my dress and my bouquet it blue

Old - my pearl necklace is old but still deciding whether to wear it. My sixpence was given to me when I was born so thats old too!

Old - sixpence

New - dress

Borrowed - nothing as yet, must get thinking bout it tho

Blue - my undies
