If you are anything like me in this, you are wondering how in the heck you are going to have something of each–Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Okay, okay. My dress will be new. That’s taken care of. The other things, I’m not too sure!! But then again, I haven’t really discussed it with anyone yet to see what I can or cannot use. I found the following article which explains it all well: This is a good luck saying which dates back to the Victorian era and many brides will try and ensure that they have something of each in their wedding outfit.

I think every bride should follow this time-honored tradition of old, new, borrowed and blue. Not only does it make for great photo moments, but it's a wonderful tradition to pass along to each new generation. Most brides use their dress as something "new" but get a bit more creative on the other categories. What did or will you use to fit these four categories on your wedding day?{Dani} used this tradition as the inspiration behind the inspiration board. It's a lovely collection with a timeless feel.

I am not superstitious, but I do enjoy a clever rhyme that encourages me to acquire more pretty and meaningful things. So for that purpose and that purpose only, I will partially play along with the whole Something Old/New/Borrowed/Blue thing. And by “partially” I mean I will proudly wear my “Something Blue” the day I marry my sweetheart: a pair of SEQUIN BLUE NIPPLE PASTIES. Observe: "Nippies" by Bristols 6 Fun, right? I found a way to do the whole “Something Blue” thing on my terms. But honestly, I’m kinda tired of this old-balls rhyme. ‘Cause let’sgetserious.... |
From the time we are little girls, we all know the saying on your wedding day. We need, something borrowed, something blue, something old, something new. Some brides believe that if they don’t have these items on their wedding day, their marriage will be doomed from the start and are sure to have four specific things of each, while others are more lax, and simply “try” to incorporate these things into their wedding day. Whatever your belief is, most however, don’t know where this tradition actually lies its roots in. This wedding custom is believed to be an English custom, specific... |
I am not a very tradition-minded person, but I thought it would be nice if I did incorporate the “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” tradition with a twist. I made my own wedding jewelry and, I have to tell you, this was a great DIY project to work on! I had never made jewelry before, but I think it turned out lovely.

I “borrowed” the center jewel from a necklace I bou... |
