    My brooch bouquet is all of these things - but to be specific:

    Something Old: brooch pin that belonged to my great-grandmother (whom I never knew)
    Something New: A black rose pin I got at one of the craft stores.
    Something Borrowed: my mom's opal pin
    Something Blue: A blue flower pin from my FMIL that belonged to her mother.

    I'm not sure about old, new and borrowed yet, I may just use my dress and veil as the new, if I can't think of anything else.

    Blue: Garter and panties

    with a sixpence in her left shoe (I ordered one off ebay, from 1913!)

    @button6004 I love your something borrowed idea :)

    before planning my wedding, I didn't know about the sixpence part, it always seems to be left off the poem, but I saw one at DB when I was shopping with my mom for her dress, and liked the idea, didn't buy it b/c FI likes to collect coins, so thought he might have one. He didn't so we ordered one off ebay, and I love that I found a 1913 one :)

    Something Old: "Add a Pearl" necklace my parents gave me for my 16th birthday, and my Grandmother's hankie with her first initial embroiderred on it, which is the same as mine, will be wrapped around my bouquet.  she recently passed away, so I thought that would be a wonderful way to keep her with me on the wedding day.
     
    Something New: My dress
     
    Something Borrowed: the headband in my hair, borrowed from my sister who wore it in her hair on her wedding day
     
    Something Blue: Garter & soles of shoes
