  • Something:-

    Old - A piccie of my Dad in a small frame attached to my bouquet (idea nicked from PrincessDonna)
    New - My Dress
    Borrowed- Going to borrow a dainty gold watch, as I wear it on my right hand anyway, and don't want my tan mark to be too obvious!
    Blue - Haven't a clue

    And never heard of this 6 pence thing before reading this, could be uncomfortable, sure I've got one of my Grandad's but might not use it!

    Old: A necklace, the first thing OH bought me
    New: Just about everything
    Borrowed: The only thing not sorted, a bit lame but I am planning on giving the hair grips back to my hairdresser at the mo!
    Blue: A small bow at the top of my hold ups and also one of my school name tags (the ones you sew into clothes) which has my name on in blue writing (the last time I can use it). Maybe if I give that back to my mum it will be borrowed too.

    I'm hoping to do this, but I'm worried about losing my something borrowed by dancing too excitedly! Any ideas?

    I think I'm going to make a garter with a blue ribbon, my wedding ring will be old (my nan's), new can be the dress, I love the double sided tape idea for the sixpence but I'm going to wear flats! So I might try to get one with a hole in and sew it to the shoe...???

    The frame is lovely, why not order it with the blue ribbon on and solve that puzzle!

    I have just ordered it, but with ivory ribbon, an ivory pearl and a pink bead- I did consider a blue bead but my colour is pink so i have ordered the pink but may see if I can sneak a blue bead on somewhere so its there but not noticeable!!

    old - the gold our wedding rings are being made from - my dad's signet ring and my gran's wedding ring (mum's side)
    new - dress, shoes,etc
    borrowed - my gran's ( dad's side) vintage crystal necklace - beautiful pastel blues and greens ( managed to find earrings on ebay that are a perfect match too!)
    blue - tied a thin blue ribbon round the handle of my bouquet and the crystal necklace

    also bought a silver sixpence from the year my mum was born to put in her birthday card when she had a "big" birthday , so am borrowing that to put in my shoe too, although we're getting married in florida so am seriously considering flip flops!
