There's an Old English Rhyme most brides-to-be know that goes something like:
' Something Olde, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, A Sixpence in your Shoe'
It's allegedly supposed to bring good luck to a bride.
Are you superstitious and following this tradition? If so, what is your something old? new? Borrowed? Blue?
Here's mine:
Olde - My great-great-grandmothers silver lace and blue sapphire antique bracelet.
New - My dress and my shoes. Most of my outfit.
Borrowed - Technically the bracelet as it belongs to my mother.
Blue - Bridal suite of Bayshore offers a free dedication tag on the inside of your dress, with blue embroidery. Mine will have FH's and mine name with our wedding date.

That's a cute way to remember your grandmother. I've been trying to figure out how to remember mine. Hmmmmm

I'm super-superstitious, so YES, I am doing all of these things haha
Old-A blue plastic bird that my Grandma, who passed away made a decorative bird cage for... I'm going to put that in my bouquet. New-Dress, accessories, shoes, etc. Borrowed-Haven't decided yet, probably something from my Mother. Blue-My garter is blue gingham check (with a little Ruby Slipper on it) & my undies haha
I also have lucky sixpence that my fiance' bought me for my Father to put in my left shoe on our way to the church!
AND my fiance' bought me a piece of a costume worn by Judy Garland that he figured I could sew into the inside of my dress for good luck, since I loooooove Judy Garland!

Old- My grandmother's BLUE garter New- Dress Borrowed- Veil Blue- see above :)
Old: supposedly my baptism dress from when I was a baby has a part of it that is to be used as a handkerchief on my wedding day. This will be the something old (wait, am I calling myself old too?) New: dress, etc Borrowed: borrowing jewelry from my mom, grandma, and aunt Blue: haven't gotten there yet.

Old: I'd like to use one of my grandmas brooches on my bouquet but haven't gotten to that point yet. Or my mom's bracelet or earrings.
New: Pretty much everything lol
Borrowed: My 4 older sisters have used the same veil in all of their weddings. Each of them changed it a bit to suit their style. It used to be a very long cathedral veil and I'll be shortening it to fingertip length and maybe adding some light embellishment to compliment my dress. I think it's so cool that we've passed it down the line, it feels very special to me.
Blue: Underwear or possibly a dress tag. I really haven't though much about this one.

I will be doing these, but I really haven't done much thinking about each of them until this moment. Everyone has such great ideas.
Olde: my mom has my grandmother's crystal necklaces that we've talked about me wearing New: my dress, veil and some jewelry Borrowed: I'm imagining my mother handing me something the morning of my wedding Blue: I'm thinking about having a custom tag sewn into my dress with our names and wedding date. Undies sound fun too! lol
Old: Probably a broch for my grandparents & maybe great-grandmother. New: My dress, shoes, veil Borrowed: Maybe something from my sister's wedding or a jewelery piece from my mom Blue: I have a really cool idea - I will be making FH's cousin my something blue by giving her a blue tear drop pendant necklace to wear on my day & she can be my good luck charm. i also found a really nice 'Something Blue' poem on Etsy that I will be giving her. I can't wait!!!!!
