Old, New, Borrowed, Blue

Hi Brides & Grooms

The only thing left for me to sort is my old, new, borrowed, blue.
So I wanted to know what all of yours are, to see if I can get some inspiration!

    Old will be a necklace that MIL2B is giving me
    New will be the wedding dress
    Borrowed - not sure yet

    Started thinking about these and so for I think it'll be this:

    Old - a bracelet my h2b bought me for our first christmas together
    New - my dress!
    Borrowed - possibly a tiara from my friend
    Blue - garter

    The blue one was the one I got stuck with the most...

    I'm having a blue garter
    My dress and pretty much everything else im wearing is new!
    I'm borrowing an old lucky sixpence from my dad and my mums sewing it into a seam on my dress. (3 birds with one stone there!)
    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire

    Have a look at some of the ideas in my earlier thread for some inspiration:

    Something old, new, borrowed and blue
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    old - bracelet my parents bought me for my 21st
    new - earrings / dress / shoes
    borrowed - all i have so far is a sixpence borrowed from my parents
    blue - nothing so far, might go for the easy option and have blue on a garter or I might find a blue charm to attach to my bouquet.
  • Old = Mum's jewellery
    New = Dress
    Borrowed = Mum's jewellery
    Blue = I have some blue diamante embelishments that say I DO for the undersides of my shoe, but I think my Mum and Sister may be getting be a garter with some blue on :

    Hello!

    We're getting married on the same date! Have you sorted your order of servie and table plan?
  • Hi Littlerose12345,

    Yes I have sorted both. The table plan was a bit difficult as we decided to keep the families separate so we had to do a lot of 're-jigging'. But we got there in the end!

    What time are you getting married? V x
