July 2013 Weddings

New, old, borrowed and blue???

WHat are you ladies doing for your something new, old, borrowed and blue?? My new is my dress, my old, I am taking some of the lace from the under layers of my moms wedding dress to wrap my flowers in. I have no clue for my something borrowed, I was going to ask to borrow a pearl necklace from my grandma or great aunt, but I don't know they are going to have something to fit my style. My something blue is I have "I do" undies from VS.

Are you doing a signature drink?? I think we are going to do one in addition to the open bar, something like the bride and groom recommend and we are suggesting cosmos, jack and coke. Are you doing a siggy drink, what are they??

  • Old: My grandmother just sent me a gold bracelet with blue sapphires that belonged to her mother! I received it yesterday! And somehow, it fit perfectly on my tiny wrist.

    New: dress!

    Borrowed: My mom's earrings she wore for her wedding. And I wear her original wedding band on my right middle finger!

    Blue: garter
  • Old: I'm pretty sure I'm wearing the same gloves that my memere wore for her wedding!

    New: Eh, I don't know.  I feel like using anything like the dress or shoes would just be a cop-out since I'm wearing those anyway, lol!

    Borrowed: I might be wearing my aunt's pearls.  They go great with the dress, but not so great with the earrings.

    Blue: The earrings!  They're white gold with diamonds and sapphires!  I'm wearing an ivory lace dress, so they don't EXACTLY go (we got the earrings first!), and they definitely don't match the pearls.  I'm still wearing the earrings regardless!
