Old/borrowed: Not sure on this one yet. My nan has some beautiful old jewellery so hoping I can use something of hers. She has terminal cancer though and could slip away at any moment, so I should really have a conversation with her sharpish. Mental note made!

Aghhhhhh! I only have new stuff so far, need to get thinking about the others really!

Old and borrowed: OHs Nans initial necklace, sewn into my petticoat. new dress and shoes. Blue: on garter

Xxx

This is what prompted the question! Trying to steal som inspiration!!

Old: my shoes

New: jewellery

Borrowed: my mums lucky star pin on my flowers

Blue: my dress

And my brother got me a sixpence for my shoe

Old - I've bought a vintage silver locket that I'm going to put a picture of my granddad in (who died 2 years ago) and probably attach it to my bouquet.

New - loads of things - dress, jewellery, hairpiece, shoes (2 pairs!), perfume.

Blue - my garter

Borrowed - I am really struggling with this, as I've read it should be something from somebody who's been long married. I could used my Sixpence which my mum has lent me, but I don't want to double things up if possible. Is any one else thinking that you should have a separate item for each thing, or am I going too far with the old superstition!?!?

I had:

Old and borrwed - My mam's antique watch

Blue - Earrings that were a gift from H a couple of years ago

New - was going to say it was one of the loads of new things I had on but then H surprised me with this on the wedding morning. Sapphires in the earrings and necklace are a much closer match in real life.

I really haven't thought about it, I'm not sure I'm doing it this time as it didnt bring much luck last time lol x

This is lovely, I think I am going to steal your idea and put my nan and two grandads in it. Thanks!

I had...

Old - bits from my bouquet were old (buttons, jewellery, bead, fabric etc) My wedding ring was old too as it was H's great grandmothers.

New - dress and shoes

Borrowed - tiara and my dress hoop, both from lovely friends.

Blue - blue beads embroidered on my dress and my bouquet was blue.

Old- My dress and veil which are vintage

New- My shoes

Borrowed- A silver sixpence borrowed from my mum

Blue- My bouquet will have lots of blue flowers in it as blue is my colour theme. May also have a blue garter.

Ah you have just reminded me, I think I have blue diamonds in my flowers so that is covered, now all I need is borrowed and old!

Old & borrowed: My dad's mother's wedding ring - she died when he was a teenager.

New: My dress

Blue: A sapphire necklace that my parents surprised me with on the morning of our wedding.

Old & borrowed: Mum's veil that she wore for her wedding

New & blue: My shoes

And Mum and Dad gave me a silver sixpence when I left home for uni ?

Old - my nan's ruby wedding ring (its ruby and diamonds and matches my colour schemes perfectly!)

New - dress, shoes, underwear etc

Borrowed - my bridesmaids tiara, she had decided this before I even thought about it, she is sooooo prepared!

Blue - garter

Think I need to get a silver sixpence, can't handle any more bad luck! xx
