What are your "something borrowed" and "something blue"?

I'm planning to stick with tradition although struggling over my "something old" at the mo.

My "something borrowed" - a garter from one of my BMs

My "something blue" - painting my toenails blue

Jumbly I think there's a Hitched lucky sixpence going round (is it still doing the rounds?)

I'm borrowing my MOH's garter which has blue in it.

My something borrowed is a lovely necklace from my friend that she wore on her wedding day. And my something blue i think is my Garter which my friend is buying me!

HI

I'm borrowing my mums sixpence she had when she was married (has her birth year on it) and i'm hoping she will sew it into the hem of my dress. My something blue is a silk handkerchief what i will have on my somewhere i think

There was a hitched sixpence that was doing the rounds but don't know what happened to that. I was hoping to borrow my sisters necklace that she wore as bridesmaid for my mum which my mum then borrowed in her 2nd ceremony in Cyprus as she forgot hers but my sister doesn't seem very keen to lend me hers so I'll have to rethink. I think the blue thing is the hardest bit to find, so I'll keep watch on this thread to see what ideas other brides to be offer.

beth you feel ok wearing a borrowed garter?...

Something borrowed - Necklace my friend gave me, which she also wore on her wedding day.

Something Blue - My Garter which my other friend is buying me.

P.S if this post appears twice i can only apologise, i seem to be having some problems with Hitched today!

I'm wearing a borrowed garter too but my BM had 2 and she didn't actually wear either of them so feel ok about that....lol

I'm wearing something borrowed and something blue- but not because of tradition, it's just coincidence!

I'm wearing my sister's pearl earrings and my grandmothers brooch which has some blue crystals in it.

Mere days away.....and I am borrowing a bracelet from my mum, and although I am having a civil wedding I am fairly religious and I have a little blue Mary medal to pin into my dress.

Roll on December 16th.....

I have a blue charm for my garter and my borrowed is my shoes from my sister. She said they were comfy enough to last her the day on her wedding day so that's good enough for me! new is obviously the dress / veil etc. It's the old that I'm having problems with...

I will no doubt get a sixpence for my shoe and would be happy to pass it on after my wedding (August 10)

now this is a good question as I'm also struggling with my something old. My dress is an ex-sample so would this count as "old"????? I didn't really think so but it will be the oldest thing I will be wearing on the day.

Oh I don't know Tinkerbelle - I'm confused now. My ER will also be over 2 1/2 years old on the day so maybe that can be classed as old???

I had kinda pictured something that had, say, been passed through the family for the "old" option but maybe thats not right????

I don't know eaxctly how long but I suppose as long as its been worn/used before the wedding and isn't specifically bought for it. Our family doesn't really have heirlooms so I'm hoping something of mine that I haven't worn/used in awhile will do.

My old is the watch my parents gave me for my 18th so it will be 11...I think 'old' is not new. My mum wore an old pair of tights!!! I have a sixpence from the year my OH was born.

Something Borrowed - my best mates tiara

Something Old - My Nana's pearl necklace (I think...)

Something Blye - My blue saphire ring. I wear it all the time on my right hand so will be keeping it on for my wedding day. D bought it for me too ?

My new was a numbe rof things - dress, earrings etc

My old was OH's nan's engagement ring

Blue was a bead from a bracelet that my nieces made for me

and my borrowed was the one of the hitched Sixpences - there are 2 doing the rounds, I think Tahdah may have had the other one so not sure if she sent it on - there was a list on here somewhere. I think my reserve one didn't have any takers until April so if someone needs to borrow it from me then PM me your address and I'll send it!

I'm not planning to but..... why would it not be ok to wear a borrowed garter? It's just a thing to go round you leg isnt it? [insert dumb icon here]

Old: Hopefully will be having my nans wedding ring (snapped in two when she injured her finger a few months ago] mended to make a new ring.

New: Does my dress count?

Borrowed: I am borrowing MIL's underskirt/hoopy thing

Blue: Do BM dresses count or do I actually have to be wearing it???

Hmmm. It sounds like we're all a bit confused about what counts for this and what counts for that.... Maybe that means it can be open to interpretation?

Does anyone really know? ?

My something borrowed will prob be my sisters veil .... if it goes with my dress

Something old.... sadly my gran recently passed away and my mum asked me if i wanted my grans eternity ring which is a white gold band with diamonds round it. I think i will be using my grans ring for my wedding ring which will be lovely.

Blue??? not a clue

I have done quite a few of these for brides to be: They are little swarovski crystal charms in blue, which can be attached to your garter or even the bouquet.

Feel free to get in touch if I can help at all
