    for old - haven't figured out that one yet
    for new - more than likely the dress
    for borrowed - that ones still in the air
    for blue - i bought a little elephant (i'm slightly obsessed about them, i have lots of elephant stuff round the house) button on ebay that's blue and i'm going to have it sewn into my dress.

    :D will definitely have to work on the the other stuff lol.

    Old-think I might wear my Nan's crucifix (she died February last year), not sure though because as beautiful as it is and how much my Mum would love the gesture it will just be another thing to set me off on the day, still all very emotional.
    New-asked my H2B to sort that
    Borrowed-daimond tennis bracelet from my mum
    Blue-garter
    :)

    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Wow loving all of the ideas.

    Birdie thanks for the comment on the dress (it wasn't very MSE I'm afraid, but at least I get to wear it twice) - your shoes are lovely - I love blue things - it's my favourite colour. There is no way I'd be able to walk in those though - I'm definitely a flats girl. Will see if I can find a link to my wedding shoes (bare in mind that I'm getting married on a beach in Jamaica). They were a bargainous £10 from George at Asda.

    Will have to see if my sister has any jewellery that I can borrow for the wedding. I want to get some chandelier earrings and a necklace to match, to add to the Grecian feel.

    Keep the ideas coming - I love looking at what everyone else is getting.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Old - a gold bracelet I inherited from my aunt when she died, and my garter which is made from fabric from my mum's wedding dress & the dress worn by her bridesmaid (my aunt / godmother)
    New - my dress & my new hubbie!
    Borrowed - I'm borrowing a locket that was my mother's from my brother who inherited it when she died
    Blue - fabric in garter from my mum's bridesmaid's dress, plus a blue ribbon stitched into my dress
