Old, New, borrowed, blue

I've seen brides with pastel blue nailpolish, not sure if it's my thing yet but kinda cool! You could always just do your toe nails as well. When I bought my dress the shop lady gave me a blue garter as a gift, so I might use that. She also said that Rainbow Club shoes all have a tiny blue gemstone glued to the bottom, so on the off chance you have a pair of their shoes you've already got the blue sorted out for you! ?

Not sure about old either! I was thinking of having a little locket on my bouquet with a picture of my grandmother, who cannot travel abroad for our wedding. She's old! ?

New was easy. Borrowed I have an old lace edged hanky off FMIL, old I have my old adjustable christening bracelet and hope to push it up the handle of my flowers, blue I struggled and being as marrying in Lapland I'm having my nails done in sparkly polish with snowflakes and having little finger non ring hand in blue sparkly . If that doesn't work in having blue toenails. Before that I considered blue heart sewn into bodice of dress. I'm not wearing a garter with snowboots and thermal long johns!

Haha that would make for a pretty cool picture though! One of my bridesmaids had a very informal, fun little ceremony in her living room and her groom took off her garter over her big woolly socks! The most hilarious thing I've ever seen.

I've seen photos of people who have their ring finger nail painted blue. Quite like the idea but think it will look strange as my dress is going to be customised with a dark green corset ribbon and gemstones to match my BM dress. Think my sister's garter has a blue ribbon on it but I think using one item for borrowed and blue is cheating a bit lol

Maybe I better get one then lol.

My old is my nana's silver bracelet (after a trip to the jeweller, grandad was too fond of lead solder for fixing things you see...).

my blue is a ribbon sewn into my frock

borrowed is perfume

new is, well - a surprise for my groom!

Can a silver sixpence in your shoe be something old? Is it even comfy?

Old - OH's Aunt's 40+ year old veil

New - Everything else!

Borrowed - Mum's pearls

Blue - Some flowers and I'm thinking of having a blue strand in my hair.

Mines the following:

Something old: Pearl bracelets

Something new: The dress

Something borrowed: The veil

Something blue: Garter

Something old was the only one I had trouble with as my parents wanted me to wear a necklace but with a high neck dress I would be too uncomfortable with it.

Mine were:

- something old: a vintage necklace I bought

- something new: the dress

- something borrowed: a ring that my mum let me borrow

- something blue: the garter

Im sure you could have one item overlong several of these categories though!

I had a pin like this.

I am....

old - my granddads tie pin in my boquet and other granddads handkerchief

new - most other things

borrowed - handbag borrowed from mother in law

blue - Ribbon sewn inside my dress

I'm not too far along in my planning, so the only thing I've figured out is the blue. It seems to be quite popular in my area to do blue shoes (and it makes for a great photo). I've had my eye out for a pair of these on Ebay since a lot of people only wear them on their wedding day and then resell them.

I'm struggling with this too, I have:

Old: no idea

New: dress/shoes (you can get blue sparkly 'I Do' stickers for the bottom of your shoes)

Borrowed: no idea - possibly a bracelet from my Mum

Blue: the stone in my engagement ring is blue, and my Mum has managed to find me matching earrings!

Love the tie pin in the bouquet - that's given me an idea!

I'm thinking my lovely h2b blue eyes might end up being my something blue.

Awww sweet. I'm thinking that seems you are getting married in Lapland you might have blue extremities lol

Yes that as well lol.

Old - my OHs man (who died this year) her ring with a gorgeous sapphire in it will be sown into my dress

New - dress

borrowed - a veil hopefully from a friend

blue - my nails and my shoes and my garter

xxx

Old - No idea

New - dress, shoes, hairband

Borrowed - my friend has loaned me her lucky sixpence she got for her wedding

Blue - I randomly have two piercings in my right ear (and only one in my left) thanks to an ear-piercing gun failure incident in 1993 so I'll wear a blue sparkly earring in my second right hole.

Mine was

new- dress, shoes

borrowed and old- veil and tiara both from my sister (7 years although not old in some people's eyes it was the oldest out of everything!)

blue- two things- blue bow on knickers...and dark blue nail varnish on toe nails
