Blambert01022010 · September 2012

Can't seem to figure out exactly what to do.
What is everyone else doing for thier soemthing old, something new, borrowed and blue?

pennylg · September 2012

Old - my mothers wedding ring from my father (who passed away many years ago)
New - my dress
Borrowed - a necklace from my FMIL
Blue - underwear

LDubHawksFan · September 2012

I finally figured mine out!!

Blue: I made a garter
New: my dress
Old: my grandmother's cross necklace that was handed down to me, wrapped around my bouquet
Borrowed (finally!!): my great grandmother won't be able to travel to the wedding, so I asked if I could borrow a broach to add to my bouquet to have her with me on my wedding day. Bonus, it's actually her mom's all the way from Norway, so I've got generations covered!!

I thought about wearing my great grandmother rings for my wedding, then changing out to mine. That would be my old and barrowed I guess. Just didn't know if that was wrong to do.

Super easy! You need a sewing machine to do the one I did, but I found youtube instructions for ones you do really quick handsewing for too. I actually made two and they both came out great.

New:Dress

OId: Not sure

Barrowed: Vail

Blue: garter

nitecheese · September 2012

Old - The wrap from my bouquet has pieces of my grandmother's wedding dress and my mother's wedding dress. My pearl necklace is just as old as I am...kind of.

Borrowed - My mom and dad's wedding bands will be sewn into my dress, as well as the piece of silver my mom had sewn into her dress (ok, now I'm starting to tear up)

Blue - Undies and Garter

achiduck · September 2012

Old - my mom's veil wrapped around the stem of my bouquet

New - my dress

Borrowed - still not 100% decided but I've asked SIL if I could borrow her E-ring to tie along with my mom's wedding ring to my bouquet (my brother inhereited the ering and gave it to SIL, I got the wedding ring)

Blue - I DO crystals for the bottom of my shoes.

cbear215 · September 2012

Old: I'm carrying my grandmother's and possibly my great grandmother's handkerchief

<div>haha I know my mom wore it taped to the heel of her shoe, on the inside. I'm wearing sandals, so I'll be using some kinda good tape to make sure it stays on!!! I'll probably remove it after the ceremony (our wedding is at my parents house) so that it doesn't come off outside.</div>
