Here we go! Finding Something Old, New, Borrowed, And Blue You've witnessed countless brides interpret these words in the same old conventional fashion (the handkerchief is old, the dress is new, the earrings are borrowed and the garter is blue). But this is your wedding, and you've never been one to follow the crowd. Take heart. Here are some ideas to make your wedding unique and memorable. Something Old If you are pressed for time, you can always throw on a pair of old stockings to take care of this part of the rhyme... but you don't want to do that. You may be lucky enough to wear your mother's wedding gown, but if not, the following suggestions are as apropos as they are old. A vintage engagement ring or wedding band The veil your grandmother wore in her wedding Antique or heirloom earrings or bracelet A tiny vintage purse Vintage buttons on your wedding dress Your favorite lipstick Your signature perfume Antique lace tied around your bouquet Something New This is where it can get really fun; after all, who could deny you a perfectly sensible excuse to go shopping? Think of the possibilities… Your wedding gown A veil that makes the dress Luxurious lingerie A brand new lipstick or eyeshadow Jewelry: a sparkling bracelet, earrings or a classic pearl necklace (if not a gift from your groom, then one to yourself -- you deserve it) The perfect shoes Elegant silk gloves A glittering tiara (what better time to be princess for a day) A silk or cashmere shawl (for a fall or winter wedding) Just because it's new doesn't mean you have to purchase it. A brand new penny for your shoe Freshly picked garden flowers for your bouquet Something Borrowed Your friends and family will be thrilled to help you with this item; however, it may be a bit tricky deciding what to borrow from whom. One of the most traditional choices is also one of the loveliest -- borrowing a gown from your mother or grandmother. If that is not an option, read on. Mom's pearl necklace The earrings your grandmother wore at her wedding The adorable little bag your best friend carried at hers Your aunt's veil or headpiece Your sister's wedding shoes Your parents' (or a friend's) home for the wedding or reception An elegant wrap from your future mother-in-law Your grandfather's Bible or book of poetry Money from your parents or his (for the wedding or honeymoon) Something Blue We aren't sure who launched the blue garter craze, but we do know it's still alive in the 21st century. While a lacy blue garter is a viable option, the following are a few fresh alternatives. Blue flowers in your bouquet, such as hydrangeas Lingerie with touches of blue Ice blue toenail polish A dramatic blue-red lipstick Tiny blue details, such as flowers, scattered on a long veil A delicate pale blue barrette A beautiful blue Austrian crystal A blues band at your reception A silk, midnight blue wedding gown (who says it has to be white?)

I need to find a happy bride to borrow something from Tammy maybe you can hold that coin thing in your hand lol lol I am searching for the american version of this...this version is from the UK.

Christine it really does help if you go to meetings…My cousin goes to meetings and she says it is the supports that helps her… Leigh Miller….I like doing online…It has worked…so far I lost 30 lbs…it is easier for me to do online but if I had time and If my job would bring WW back to do the meetings I would go to meetings… It is very convenient!

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. source: WeddingGuideUK.com - Wedding Traditions
