Not sure if this is a dumb question... But what's with the coins and putting a sixpence coin in your shoe?

jana953 · November 2010

Something old: Im attaching a special pin my mom had from when i was little to the ribbon of my bouquet

Something new: shoes, dress, jewelry

Something borrowed: either a blusher, anklet, or handbag

Something blue: penn state garter.... he went to college there and my parents brainwashed me to be a penn state fan since i was a baby.

[QUOTE]Just my ideas so far: Something Old:I have my grandmas original wedding set and am getting the diamonds put into a ring to wear on my right hand ( I will keep passing this down). Something New: My dress, veil, shoes Something Borrowed: Still working on this. Something blue: I like the undies Idea, or finding some vintage pin on Etsy sounds amazing (Thanks for the Ideas!)

another great place to look for old pins is antique/junk stores around your area if you don't have a blue yet. Thats where i got mine :)

Old: my great aunt's vintage crystal necklace/earring set

borrowed: Dunno yet, maybe a veil?
blue: a star shaped pin, hopefully shoes if i find some i like :)

Something old = brooch purchased at antique shop to be pinned to my dress and bouquet

Something new = shoes or lipstick

Something borrowed = bracelet loaned by matron of honor

Something blue = garter I'm making myself

My fiance's mother also offered to let me use the same sixpence that she and my fiance's sister both used at their weddings...very touching! It will be both old and borrowed, but I would feel like I was copping out if I had any of the items doubling up LOL.

Something new: My dress, veil and shoes are new

Something borrowed: sort of clueless on this one.. Maybe I'll borrow some bobby pins for my hair..

Something blue: The earrings on my shoes are blue and there are also blue flowers in my bouquet and I'll have light blue nail polish on my toes.

new- dress, veil, shoes
blue- VS "Just married" panties- too cute!
old- grandmother's hankerchief (it also has blue) I guess this could be my borrowed too, but then that would mean I would have to give it back to my Dad! lol

Something new: my garter, dress, veil, earrings
Something borrowed: a bracelet from my friend
Something blue: my shoes!!

I'm also wearing a necklace that my parents gave to me when I was 11. It represents my purity, when my dad gives me away to my fiance he's giving him the necklace and symbollically gives permisson in front of everyone. I have kept myself, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Don't forget the silver sixpence in your shoe!!!
