Okay, so I know there are discussions for.rhis already, but I feel like the suggestions are not right for me. Can you please read below and feedback any new ideas please? Thank you lovelies! X

Blue:At first I thought of having blue ribbons around my and my bridesmaids bouquets, but our colour scheme is berry tones. Having blue in there to me would just look odd! Then I thought, blue shoes. Under my dress no-one will really see them, but again, if they did flash, would it be weird?
Old:My mam really wants me to use her veil that she wore on her wedding day. Would this count?
Borrowed:I haven't got a clue.
New

kay so for New, I was thinking of my dress. However I technically bought this 2 years ago (everything delayed because of Covid), so is it still new?
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

My friend is lending me her garter which has a blue bow on it so that’s my borrowed and blue , my bridesmaids bought me some earrings so that’s my new otherwise it would have been my dress. The old is me 🤣🤣🤣

New is my dress and shoes
Old is my mums garter which is also blue so that’s that one covered too.
Borrowed is my sisters veil and underskirt.

I have seen people either sew something blue into their dress or have the wedding date/ grooms name/ etc embroidered on blue into the dress too. My sister had my grandad’s hanky which was blue sewn into the skirts of her dress (he had passed and it was one of her items he had left her)

Your Mum’s veil totally counts as old and borrowed (if you give it back!). And as far as I’m concerned, a dress you haven’t worn yet is new so that works too. Garters appear a popular blue choice!

I’m planning on wearing a watch I inherited from my Grandma (old) and hopefully borrowing some jewellery or something from my Mum. New dress/shoes and then no idea... but got almost a year to find something blue (or a friend who can lend me a blue garter!).

Old: my pearl necklace, I’ve had it at least 10 years
New: my dress and my shoes count for this
Borrowed: my sisters veil, which has pearls on it so will tie in with my necklace
Blue: the shoelaces on my shoes are blue ribbons (gone down the converse/trainer route for comfort!)
I haven’t got blue in our colour scheme anywhere, but I know that my dress will cover it. As my dress is ivory, it won’t clash with the colours we do have. Would that make it work for you?

Thank you I'm liking the idea of blue shoes, as I know my dress will cover them. I aren't going for converse during pur ceremony but I could always switch up my shoes for the evening party and add blue ribbons. Love this idea, thank you! X

Ooh thank you! I'm glad you agree that the dress counts as new. It's not exactly something I can wear for any other occasion lol. So the veil ca count as both borrowed and old? 😀 Sadly I don't have any friends who are married (yet), so there isn't much I can borrow/use.

Have you seen the crystal jewels you can get to put on the bottom of the shoes? I did this for my sisters wedding and got them in blue saying I Do and put one one the bottom of each of her shoes looked really nice!

New - my dress and shoes because it is the first time you’d properly wear it
Old - I have a little key ring that was my Grandpas for our family football team which I am going to wrap around my bouquet
Borrowed - not sure of this one yet, my mum hasn’t got anything lendable from her wedding so I am struggling with this oneBlue - I have asked for a pop of blue in my bouquet as I am having wildflowers as our theme
