June 2013 Weddings

Something old, something new...

If we already covered this I missed it, so what's everyone doing for their old, new, borrowed and blue?

Re: Something old, something new...

  • Old: A gold necklace that was given to FI when he was a baby that says "God" in arabic. I won't be wearing it on my neck through probably wrapped around my ankle. FMIL gave it to me.

    New: Jewelry

    Borrowed: My cousin graciously has let me borrow her veil. I'm hoping to start a new family tradition.

    Blue; My shoes are turquoise so that counts but I'm also cutting out a piece of gpa's blue pjs to pin on to my dress.

  • Old: I'm wrapping my bouquet with material from my mom's wedding dress rather than using ribbon.

    New: My mom bought me new pearl earrings.

    Borrowed: My mom's pearl necklace.

    Blue: I have blue in my garter.

    FI's mom's friend also loaned me her grandmother's handkerchief which has an "M" embroidered on it in blue. She wasn't sure if I had something old or blue yet and even though I already do it's so sweet that I'm going to pin it into my dress, so I'll have 2 something olds and something blues.

  • New: Jewelry
    Old: my mom gave me the purse her mom gave her on her wedding day.  Will not be carried down the aisle, but I guess this counts, right?
    Borrowed: hopefully a brooch from my g-ma to pin to my bouquet-need to confirm this one!
    Blue: Garter

  • Old: A handkerchief that a friend of my mom's made for me when I was born (it doubled as my christening bonnet). I think I'm going to stitch it to the inside of my dress.

    New: The bracelet I'm wearing is new.

    Blue: Good question.

    Borrowed: My grandma has a necklace that she lends to the brides in our family. I'm going to wrap it around my bouquet.
  • Old: My first engagement ring. It's not crazy old, but it seems like it was forever ago when he proposed to me with a quarter machine ring. <3

    New: Dress and sash.

    Borrowed: Still have no idea. Hopefully someone will loan me something at the last second?

    Blue: Panties. lol.
