  Old - The charm bracelet my parents bought me when I turned. They've gotten me charms for every major life event since.

  
  

  New - My dress and most of my accessories

  
  

  Borrowed - My mom's original wedding ring (she doesn't wear it anymore)

  
  

  Blue - My shoes

  
  

  I skipped the sixpence/penny.

  Old: A lilies-of-the-valley brooch my grandmother gave my father before she died to give me on my wedding day.

  
  

  New: The hairpiece I specially ordered to showcase the pin; also pearl earrings DH gave me on our wedding day.

  
  

  Borrowed: I wore my aunt's dress, which was 45 years old, so I guess it was also "old."

  
  

  Blue: My engagement ring is a sapphire. I also wore blue underwear, but no one saw those.

  
  

  Sixpence: I bought a sixpence on eBay and wore it in my shoe (but I wore ballet flats, so I could tuck it in and not step on it all day.

  

  
  

  
  

  I'm gonna go with 'not my circus, not my monkeys.'

  Old - Necklace from FMIL's family. It was her great aunts I believe and is very Art Nouveau
  New - The dress, shoes,
  Borrowed - The necklace? Can that count as two?
  Blue- Shoes, my engagement ring has sapphires, the necklace has sapphires, and the hat I'd like to wear has a blue rhinestone pin.  And I might do my nails blue. Might.
  
  My step-grandma just gave me a penny from my birth year to wear in my shoes as well.

  I'm getting married in June, but I already have my somethings! Old-my great great grandmother's engagement ring ring from the late 1800s and my Christenening bonnet turned into my wedding day handkerchief. New-my dress, among other various things. Borrowed- I'll be wearing my FSILs veil. Blue- a TARDIS pinned to the inside of my dress(as well as my bridesmaids, if that counts). My sixpence is coming in tomorrow!

  Something old - not sure yet

  Something borrowed - my BFF wants to provide this, not sure what it is yet

  Something new - FI is getting me my jewelry to wear

  Something blue - ordered a charm on a blue ribbon from Etsy with a picture of my dad who died 4 years ago to attach to my bouquet.  I'm also having a heart-shaped patch sewn inside my gown from an old shirt of his, and that shirt was blue.

  Haven't planned all of them yet, but these are what i have so far:

  
  

  old - my grandmother's engagement ring

  blue - I'm wearing blue keds and also the garter is blue (FI's hockey team is the NY Rangers)

  
  

  for the sixpence, my best friend found me a 1914 coin, so it'll be 100 years old when we get married in October. She thought that would be cool.

  Well I have my something borrowed! 

  
  

  I went wedding gown shopping on Saturday and my grandmother said she would lend me her diamond solitaire necklace to wear as my something borrowed. 

  
  

  I also decided on my something old, which is a pair of diamond earrings my grandmother gave me when I turned 15 which were her since she was very young also. 

  
  

  YAY! I am happy

  I planned my wedding around my something blue.
  
  Old: my veil, it was my mom's first communion veil that all my sisters and I wore for ours.
  Borrowed: headpiece and earrings from my sister.
  New: haven't decided, probably buying a bracelet.
  Blue: necklace my little sister made me, it is blue and purple with a peacock feather bead on it.
  Sixpence: FH bought me a Fiji Island sixpence from 1934(I think), since his frat nickname is Fiji.
  
  All but my something new and my sister's earrings I have and did prior to buying my dress.

  I love the idea of a tardis somewhere to represent the blue. I think I may use my tardis necklace around my bouquet. And I will attach old pictures of my parents and grandparents to represent the something old now I need new and borrowed.

  Old: No idea??? I'm not close with either of my grandmothers, so it will probably end up being something related to my parents.  Does my 2000-year-old Catholic faith tradition count?!  lol

  
  

  New: Gown, etc.

  
  

  Borrowed: Not sure yet - mom suggested I wear the tennis bracelet my dad bought for her after I was born.

  
  

  Blue: My garter, and a small silver crucifix (with blue inlay) that FMIL / FFIL got me for a birthday gift.

  
  

  Sixpence: An old Deuschmark, since FI & I are both German, and will be spending our honeymoon at Oktoberfest!

  My something Old And Borrowed is my grandads wedding ring, if he was still in this world he would have been giving me away so this is my way of walking down the aisle with a Part of him. The ring will be attached to my bouquet with a ribbon. I can cut this to give it back to my nanna after the wedding. My something new is my tiara my best friend has bought me and my something blue is my shoes. I wanted something I could wear again after the wedding! Incidentally, my shoes share the same name as my grandad too which I didn't know until they were delivered! :-)

  Old: paternal grandmother's ruby ring, maternal grandmother's earrings, my bouquet will be wrapped in lace from my mom's wedding dress

  New: EVERYTHING!

  Borrowed: white clutch that my aunt carried in her wedding to my (now deceased) uncle

  Blue: panties

  
  

  Not doing the sixpence thing. Actually hadn't even heard of it until I saw it on The Knot ... must be a regional thing that isn't done where I live?
