October 2012 Weddings

Old, New, Borrowed and Blue???

Hey! 

What are you guys doing for your old, new, borrowed, and blue? 

My Old - a piece of my grandmother's jewlery is being wound through my bouquet and brought down the handle so I can hold onto it.

New - jewlery my mom bought for me in British Columbia, Canada (I'm from Saskatchewan)

Borrowed - family friend lent me her handmade garter that she wore 35 years ago

Blue - I have no idea!!!!!  (looking for something original and can't think of one....)

**My colors are black and gold with ivory accents, and I just can't find something blue that fits....

Re: Old, New, Borrowed and Blue???

  • New - The Dress and Shoes

    Old/Borrowed - Both of my grandmothers' original wedding bands. They have a combined 85 years of happy married life.

    Blue - Because October is World Series time and FI and I love the Cubs, I'm wearing a Chicago Cubs garter that I found on Etsy. As an engagement gift, my sister ordered a tag with my maiden name monogram (enbroidered in blue) to be sewn into my wedding dress because it is the last thing I will wear as a single girl.

    Hope this helps!
    Love and Blessings

  • My mom is making me a garter based on the one my grandmother made for her when she married my dad. She pulled the lace off her bouquet holder from the wedding to use as trim, which will be my something old, and the garter itself will be blue. New is my dress and accessories. I don't have a 'something borrowed' yet. And no one else has mentioned the 'sixpence in the shoe' thing, but I'm doing that part so I'll throw that in too. My sister brought me a 20 pence coin from London when she went there, and it's from the year FI was born. I'll be sticking it in my shoe, though I'm not sure how since I plan to wear sandals...

  • My colors are black and gold also. Like Achiduck, I am doing the blue rhinestones on the bottom of my shoes. I just got them in the mail the other day. I ordered them from Etsy, and they were only $10.

Borrowed whatever my something old is will also be borrowed, also planning to borrow a veil as long as it looks good with my dress. Blue my shoes are being dyed the same blue that my BM dresses are. Sixpence Mom said I could use a penny but I'm not too sure about that!
