    Get in contact with your mother or grandmother.  Maybe there is a piece of jewelry or kercheif you can borrow.  For something old it can be something from your own collection, as long as your fiance didn't give it to you.

    I'm using a bracelet my little brother gave me years ago as my something old.  I'm using my great great grandmother's kercheif as my something borrowed.

    Hope this helps good luck!

    Old - necklace my great uncle gave to me before he passed (tied to my bouquet)

    Borrowed - my mom's clutch from her wedding and the kerchief her grandma made for her for her wedding

    Old = Great grandmother's Rosary that she prayed with every night until she passed.  It actually belonged to HER grandfather, which would make it something ANCIENT, not really OLD.

    Borrowed = The banners at the church on either side of the tabernacle, which were made by my friend/choir director for her daughter's/another friend of mine's wedding.

    I do not have anything borrowed yet either. Although recently my friend offered her garter, so may do that.
    As for old, my sister has our great-grandmother's pearls but they do not match my dress so I am having them attached to my bouquet.

    My cousin let me borrow her wedding jewelry on my wedding day,  and I bought an old brooch at an antique store that went on my flower bouquet. Have a lovely wedding day!!
