OLD: My Pearl Earrings New: My headband Borrowed: Mom's pearls and cousin's veil Blue: My Mr & Mrs. Pacman garter
The only thing I know I want to use as my something "borrowed" is my grandmother's emerald ring. I'm getting married in December and just think it would be pretty.
Haven't thought of the other things yet, but my best friend's mom gave me a sixpence for my shoe when I got engaged, so I've got that. I just have to keep up with it....

Something old --- a hankercheif that my grandma had given me for confirmation Something new --- my dress Something borrowed --- probably earrings from my mom or something not sure Something blue --- either my garter or underwear

Something old is my Mom's pearl earrings she wore on her wedding day, something new will be my dress, something borrowed is my faux fur black coat, and something blue are my boyshort undies!
Something old: Grandma's diamond and pearl brooch that my grandpa bought her in Japan in 1944. Something new: Dress Something borrowed: my 'old' now belongs to my mom, so I will be borrowing it from her Something blue: I'll probably do blue undies or a garter.
I have always thought I would wear one of my mom's sapphire pieces as my borrowed & blue. Her e-ring is a sapphire, but she also has a couple sapphire channel bands that are gorgeous. My sister wore one of the bands, so I think it could be a nice tradition to start. (although they're yellow gold, and I'm totally a white metal kind of girl)
Other than that, I haven't given it any thought because I'm not engaged
I havent really thought of those yet. The only one i think will happen for sure is my something blue. i have a turquoise necklace that my grandpa made that I will probably wear as a bracelet or wrap it in my bouquet somehow.

That's a good idea too. I was already planning on having the BP sign the bottom of my shoes, but it kills two birds with one stone to have them sign in blue :)
Old - my diamond necklace that was my grandma's engagement ring (my grandpa had it turned into a necklace when he got her a new set of rings for their 15th anniversary).
New - my dress, my hair clip and the bracelet on my right wrist a friend of mine made for me.
Borrowed - the bracelet on my left wrist - one of my BM's wore it in her wedding 2 years ago (and neat fact with her - her anniversary is 2 days after my wedding)
Blue - still working on it - either undies, shoes (since apparently white flats in a 9 1/2 W are practically impossible to find, I may have to go with navy) or a ribbon/bow tied to the lace up ribbon on the back of my dress
We're doing our own spin on the penny/six pence in my shoe...we're going to do six cents - I have a penny from the year I was born and nickel from the year FI was born - I'll wear one in each shoe
The only thing I have in mind for that is my something "old" will probably be a silver bracelet that belonged to my father. He always wore it and when he died my mom gave it to me, and I had it resized. So I can honor my dad in a subtle way and have a "something old".
I've never heard of having the bridal party sign the bottom of the shoes. That's very cute
