Something, Old, New, Borrowed, Blue

deanozzi · February 2012

Any ideas? I don't have anything to borrow or anything Old! Everything that I have is new (panties will be blue). There is nothing that I can think of for the other two.

For my old I am having my old pound puppy I got from the Easter bunny when I was 6!

I am have a pocket made on the inside of my dress where he will be! Kinda goofy I know, but it is something sentimental to me I have had for a long time! So on that theme maybe a little trinket or something from your childhood you could hide in your dress or bouquet? My sister took a small patch of her blanket she had as a baby for another idea...I know that is a silly one too!

Do you have any old family heirlooms that can be sewn into your dress or tied to your bouquet? My grandmother collected handkerchiefs, so I'm wrapping my bouquet in one, and then my fiance's family's rosary will be wrapped around that (borrowed).

Anything from your childhood is good, and you can borrow a piece of jewelry from a relative for your something borrowed.

I am stuck on a couple of mine too.

Something Blue: the monogram on my garter is blue and my underwear is blue

Something New: my veil (as I'm hoping to pass down to my kids one day and have them use as their something old)

Something Borrowed: not sure....

Something Old: not sure....

For Something Old I think I'm going to cut some of the lace off my First Communion dress and use it to wrap my flowers... not sure though. And then for Something Borrowed I'm either going to borrow my moms pearl earrings or a broach from her and put the broach on my flowers. Not sure yet though.

Everyone has great ideas but, I already have all of my jewelry so it would not really be possible to borrow from someone else. I guess I could have something sewn into my dress.

If you go to the "Customs and Traditions" board there is a helpful sticky about this that you will love at the top.

@kate. Thanks

No problem!

For the old and borrowed you can always have something you can get sewn or pinned to the inside of your dress. You could have something like a grandparents old hankerchief sewn in or even just clipped on the inside of your dress.

My something old is a 1920s butterfly brooch. My godmother is letting me borrow it and it will be pinned to my bouquet. Although it's borrowed my "something borrowed" is my other aunt's diamond bracelet, that way they both get to be a part of it.

OLD: My grandma gave me my moms christening bonnet which somehow turns into a hanky
NEW: everything...dress, shoes, undies...
BORROWED: I borrowed my grandpa's necklace that was given to my dad after he passed away...Still not sure where I am going to put it though. I already had a charm made for my bouquet with our picture on it so I am trying to figure something else out
BLUE: my garter is navy blue and lime green and it...is...AWESOME!!!

Old: a pair of my GM earrings are in my Brooch bouquet
New: my dress
Borrowed: not sure yet
Blue: Cameo on necklace given to me by my children several years ago for Mother's day and the saphire pendant FH gave me for our first Christmas together

For my old and borrowed I wore on my right hand pinky the ring my dad gave my mom for their first Valentine's Day together. It didn't match any of my jewelry, but it means a lot to my mom and it meant a lot to me that she would let me borrow it on my wedding day.

My old and borrowed was a heart with a six-pence in it. My MIL used it on her wedding as did my SIL. I pinned it to the inside of my skirt.

JamiesonCampbell · February 2012

for my something borrowed my FMIL is giving me a brooch that was my FI great grandmother's and she asked me to wear a bobby pin with a pearl on that she wore on her wedding day!

Old: Pearls and crystals from my grandmother's wedding dress are being sewn into my hairpiece. Also old and new: the pearl necklace that my godparents have been building for me since I was born. I've gotten a pearl for each birthday and one in each Christmas stocking.

New: Dress

Borrowed: One of my BM's beautiful amber brooches to go in my bouquet.

Blue: The underside of my wedding shoes.
