I haven't a clue yet for mine. The something old with be a brooch of my grandmother's on my dress, but I haven't decided yet. Does my dress count as new?

Borrowed, I may borrow something like earrings from my mom, and the blue will probably come in the form of the garter or my crinoline.

I had NEVER heard of the sixpence/penny/whatever in the shoe until after I got engaged and my FI's family and friends tried to hunt down a penny from my birth year for my shoe. I guess a penny from 1981 is kind of old now, right? It can do double duty!

Old - the diamond cross necklace my parents gave to me as a confirmation gift.

New - i'm also wondering, does the dress and shoes count?

Borrowed - a pearl set (necklace, earrings, and bracelet) that belonged to the great great grandmother of my MOH

Blue - I'm thinking of finading a piece of blue satin, sewn into a heart, embroidered with my FI's initials, and then sewn onto the inside of my dress.

Sixpence - I'd like to find a legit sixpence, otherwise it may be a penny from the year of my birth.

Old and Blue- grandmother's ring- she passed away and I wanted her with me on my wedding day

New- shoes, dress, everything I will be wearing!

Borrowed- not quite sure yet....maybe some jewelry of some sort?

AngieAyrton · August 2010

My something old I won't be wearing but I'll have a hankercheif that I sewed my initials in when I was 12. I kept it all this time and thought that would be perfect since I sewed my initials in purple which is one of my wedding colors.

My something new is pretty much all my acessories, my necklace, my headband, my bracelet and my shoes.

My something borrowed is my friends slip. I know its not really cute but it was better than buying one

.

My something blue is my garter.

And as for the coins I'm thinking of putting a gold coin in my right shoe and a silver one in my left. This is a Swedish tradition for good luck and I thought it would be fitting since I'm part Swedish.

jenwen32 · August 2010

Old & Blue: A diamond and sapphire ring that my grandmother gave to me when I was in high school. I recently had it resized to fit my right ring finger and dipped so that it is now white gold rather than just gold. Also considering wearing a pair of silver and clear heels that I bought several years ago for another event for $170...I justified the expense by saying that I could also wear them for my wedding :-)

New: Dress...it definitely counts!

Borrowed: Not sure...my wedding is still 10 months away, so maybe someone will offer to lend me something by then.

Sixpence: Probably will not do this as I am getting married on a beach and will be wearing some sort of sandle or open type shoe.

Blue- I'm thinking something on my undergarments. Though I like the idea of the glitter/rhinestone initials on the bottom of the shoes so I may steal that idea.

Sixpence-Wearing sandals so I'm not sure. I'm contemplating a German phenning super glued to the bottom of my shoe to honor my heritage.

MrsG2B83 · August 2010
