I really have not a clue but my FI's grandfather died and I would like to find out if he has rosary beads that I could borrow to wear around my hand with my boquet. Other than that not a clue. I mean what do people get as blue?

Something Old = a pair of diamond studs earrings that Cain got me for our first anniv.
Something New = endless possibilities, but I guess dress
Something Blue = I purchased a blue starfish bouquet jewel
Something borrowed = still trying to figure this one out..

I'm not really that superstitious (sp?) or traditional, but I probably will, I just don't know what yet, maybe ...
Something Old = my necklace I wear daily - it was my grandma's 25th wedding anniversary present from my grandpa
Something New = ditto - could be many things, like the dress
Something Blue = I am thinking of having blueish jewelry or "bling" on my shoes
Something borrowed = TBD

I like the blue flip flops idea. Does it have to be true blue? Like American flag blue? Or could I get away with doing baby blue or turqoise?

How old is old? My Grandma gave me a set of pearls for my high school graduation, so I was thinking about wearing those, maybe I can borrow my mom's pearl earings to wear. I might have my new initials embroidered inside of my dress in blue, and I am hoping my fiance will get me the eternity band I have been wanting for my something new, if not then I guess my dress can count as something new.

here is what i found
Something old, new, borrowed and blue...
The full wording of this popular bridal attire rhyme, which dates back to the Victorian times is 'something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue and a silver sixpence in your shoe.' Something old refers to wearing something that represents a link with the bride's family and her old life. Usually, the bride wears a piece of family jewellery or maybe her mother's or grandmother's wedding dress.
Wearing something new represents good fortune and success in the bride's new life. The bride's wedding dress is usually chosen, if purchased new, but it can be any other new item of the bride's wedding attire.
Wearing something borrowed, which has already been worn by a happy bride at her wedding, is meant to bring good luck to the marriage. Something borrowed could be an item of bridal clothing, a handkerchief or an item of jewellery.
Wearing something blue dates back to biblical times when the colour blue was considered to represent purity and fidelity. Over time this has evolved from wearing a blue clothing to wearing a blue band around the bottom of the bride's dress and to modern times where the bride wears a blue or blue-trimmed garter.
...and a silver sixpence in your shoe
Placing a silver sixpence in the bride's left shoe is a symbol of wealth. This is not just to bring the bride financial wealth but also a wealth of happiness and joy throughout her married life.
