You ladies tend to come up with some pretty amazing and unique concepts. I'm just curious if anyone has decided to incorporate a unique twist on this bridal tradition?

The full rhyme goes "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence for her shoe." The sixpence is suppose to be for wealth.

I love it! I'll keep an eye out for ya.
I just got to thinking about it because I figured out my something old and it manages to represent a special family member who has passed. My great grandmother was irish catholic and I somehow inherited her crystal and silver rosary that had been blessed by the pope in the early 50s. I will wrap it around the ribbon of my bouquet.

I think we're going to do a martini bar for the Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue...
Old: Dirty Martini
New: Pomegranate Martini (since Oprah's made them so popular)
Borrowed: The signature Martini from my club- the Passion Fruit Martini
Blue: Some random martini we'll make up and have blue curacao in it..
What do you guys think? I'm especially proud of this creation!

So far...
New: Dress (that's kind of obvious!)
Borrowed: My friends veil maybe (if not I'm using her guest book pen!)
Blue: Undies with "I do" on them! :)
Old: Stumped...have to talk to my mom about this one...or my g'mother.

i'm also going to do the blue flip flops/sandals..not found anything i like yet..but will go serious shoe hunting next summer.
I don't know about the others...the something new will probably be my dress, then the something old will be my mums pearls, but i don't know about the something borrowed...maybe i'll start eyeing up everyones jewellery!lol
xxxxxxx

I love the martini bar idea. I am borrowing my cousin's tiara that she wore for her wedding, I will have a new dress, I am getting a blue garter, but still working on the old!
