So in taking a picture of my shoes for @ohxhi 's post, I figured I'd take the time to take a photo of my Something's: ya know, the old saying "something old, new, borrowed and blue". I know this isn't something to go crazy and stress over, but I found it fun to figure them out, especially since we've pretty much finished booking all of our major vendors in the summer (just need to get hotel, transportation and day of stuff figured out) and have done a lot of the planning for everything. So here's what I came up with (a few overlap the categories):
Something Old: Lace from mom's wedding dress will wrap around my bouquet (it's actually the lace cape from the veil, which almost matches the lace pattern on my dress!). I will also be using my mom's veil (just one layer of the tulle), except she's going to add some lace around the edge to get the exact look that I want.
Something New: I bought a pair of earrings (forgot to include in this photo), which match the design of my engagement ring, and a hair comb.
Something Borrowed: I found an old pin that was my great-grandmother's (which was in my mom's collection) and a smaller pin from my grandmother that will also go on my bouquet, just gotta clean them up a bit (the smaller one will help hold my mom's lace around the stems and the larger one will be on the bottom of the stems...I hate seeing cut stems on a wedding bouquet). Since we're not getting married in a church I thought this was a nice "tradition" to have/do, especially since I'll be using something from each of my family's generations, one of which is no longer with us.Something Blue: My Princess Peach garter & my shoes.....also forgot to include the garter in this photo but here's a single shot of it. I'd love to know if anyone else is thinking of doing "Something's" and what you've chosen!
