Something Old, New, Borrowed and Blue!

Ladies, for those of you that are doing or have done something old, something new, something borrowed and something Blue, what were they or will they be?

I've been on the fence with doing this, I originally decided against but more recently I am thinking I'll do it. I am unsure about my something old, new and borrowed but for my something blue I am getting our wedding date stitched (in blue obviously) on the inside of my wedding dress. I plan to keep my dress after the wedding so I think it works out nicely! I think I'll be doing the six pence in my shoe as well!

So what are your plans for the something's?

    I wasn't planning on doing this but it kind of happened anyway. I had a new dress and hair piece, borrowed my mum's veil (old as well) and had blue beads on my anklet.

    I'm doing all but the sixpence in the shoe, mostly because: where do people find sixpence in Canada, and I'm wearing heels. My dress will be new, my shoes are blue, I might be borrowing one of my mom's old necklaces (old and borrowed) and we're using my parent's champagne flutes from 30 years ago (again, old and borrowed).

    My something old will be a necklace from my grandma, something new will be my dress, something borrowed I'm not sure on yet and my something blue will be the garter 😊

    Is there a purpose to this tradition? Totally forgot about it. Is it for luck?

    I was thinking the same for my ssomething blue.. my something old is going to be a necklace from my mother in law that has been in her family for years. I like the idea of this because I feel like it's a great way for me to incorporate my new "official" family and more importantly, my mother in law (who i adore) in to my wedding day!

    My future mother-in-law is giving me a "Blue Pearl" necklace with matching stud earrings. I think that counts as something old/blue/ and possibly borrowed???

    I'm also going to make sure my garters will have blue in them. I have heard of the sixpence part though i doubt I'll be able to do that.

    Tbh - I didn’t even know about the sixpence part.

    Not sure if i’ll do any of it but love hearing the creative ways people are incorporating it!

    If I were to be wearing heels then the silverpence would not be happening, but since I'm not I think I'll give it a shot just for fun lol
    I think I'll ask my bridesmaids for the something new, borrowed and old. They can decide who gives what it if they all give me something or what I they want. I could count my dress as something new but I'm not sure yet maybe the jewelry will be my something new. Honestly could be anything lol

    Eek, I don't know if I could walk at all with something in my shoe! Haha.

    I've got the new dress, and a few borrowed/old items... Don't have anything blue yet, but I'm going to have something... I like having the traditional stuff for certain things.
