Happy Planning Brides.
Are you following the tradition of something old, new, borrowed, and blue?
This tradition goes back to the 19th century. The exact meaning behind each trinket isn't totally clear, but there are some popular theories. "Something old" represented a tie to the past. "Something new" stood for hope and optimism for the future. "Something borrowed" from a happily married friend or relative was believed to bring good luck for the union and even fertility. The color blue was meant to ward off the evil eye, and it also stood for love, purity, and fidelity.
For a long time during planning, I thought I would incorporate this into our wedding, but as our day creeps closer, I do think this is something we will not be doing. Who knows, maybe I'll be surprised on the day of with gifts from my family of items I can use haha
