Borrowed: Six Pence for my Shoe
Blue: Shoes or Garter, haven't decided yet.

My neighbor is from England, so she is letting me borrow an authentic Six Pence to keep in my shoe! so, I've got two birds with one stone, there!

I wasn't planning on worrying about this tradition but reading the posts from you girls make it sound so sweet. I might be on the fence now.

OLD: We are having a Greek Orthodox ceremony and our wedding crowns were my grandparents when they got married in the 40s. I also will be using my grandmother's vintage pearl encrusted clutch.
NEW:Not sure yet.
BORROWED: My parents had two handblown glass wedding bells on their cake topper.  The rest of the topper broke but the bells are intact.  My mom gave one to each my sister and me so I will be using both bells (one is borrowed from my sister) and tie them to my bouquet.
BLUE: The bells will be tied on with a blue ribbon.
SIX PENCE:  My parents have a coin collection and had six pence that I'll be wearing in my shoe.

Oh, and there is Greek tradition where the single bridesmaids write their name on the bottom of your shoes at the beginning of the day, and by the end of the night, the one who's name wore off the most, that is the next to get married...so we are doing that as well.

oooh...aperitisa, that bridesmaid shoe tradition sounds like so much fun! We are having a religion neutral ceremony because of the diverse religious backgrounds of everyone on both sides of the family, but that just sounds really neat the fun! Wouldn't it be neat if that girl was also the girl that caught the bouquet at the bouquet toss? Then she'd HAVE to be the one to get married next! LOL! Thanks for sharing that!

haha yeah definitely!

I love it! The veil, pearls, rosary, slip, ribbon...all so special. Thanks for sharing, all!

My something NEW: Dress, ring...and husband! haha
Old: Mother in law to be's grandmother's handkerchief (which happens to be the color of my dress!)
Blue: My San Jose Sharks garter, which is more of an aqua blue but it still counts, right?! I will probably wear some blue panties too, just for kicks.
Borrowed: Still working on this. And I'm a month away!

Great idea about the sixpence. Greek weddings seem like so much fun!

are you supposed to be wearing it?  Cause I can do the something old, and borrowed all in the same place with the cake server.  It belongs to my grandmothers best friend, and is the one my mom used at her wedding.

Old: great grandmother's silver watch
New: My dad is buying me a string of pearls
Borrowed: Veil from my friend who was married last year
Blue: Shoes.

You can combine them and have something that is both borrowed and blue for example, but I think it's more fun to track down all 4.

My something new is my dress, something old is my grandmother's rosary, blue is a hankerchief I gave my best friend (who is my maid or honor) on her wedding day that says bride in blue, and my something borrowed is a pearl hair clip I'm borrowing from my aunt.  What are yours?
