something old, something new...

Who's doing the tradition 'Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue'? It's hard for me to find something for all four - I can only find like two of them. Please post what your doing for each. Thanks :)

Re: something old, something new...

A lot of brides wear blue underwear for the something blue.

Here is my list:
Something old: one of my dad's handkerchiefs
Something new : dress and shoes
Something borrowed: veil
Something blue: Topaz bracelet that had been a Valentine's day gift from DH.

Re: something old, something new...

I sewed a piece of my mom's dress into mine for the something old, my dress was something new, I borrowed a pin of my grandmas and wore a blue garter.

Re: something old, something new...

I'm planning on it--

Something old & borrowed: my great-grandmother's locket

Something new: gown, shoes, bag, ect.

Something blue: lots of blue! My shoes, most likely--I'm thinking of dyeing them peacock blue or a darker color. The ribbon tying the stems of my bouquet, also.

And a sixpence for her shoe: I might buy a sixpence from eBay and put it on/in my shoe!

I think these sorts of traditions are fun.

Re: something old, something new...

fyi - your something borrowed should only be from someone who had a good marriage!!!

I guess I'm SOL then. Oh well, I'm happy that I'm using the diamond that my dad gave my mom as my something borrowed. It's like wearing a peice of both of them.
