Something Old, Something New

Love following the tradition "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue"? It's said to bring good luck! Kristen chose a beautiful rosary of her grandmother's, wrapped around the ribbon wrap of her bouquet, for her something old. Something new was easy- her gorgeous gown! Something borrowed was an exquisite diamond bracelet, and something blue was her navy blue toe nail polish!

Here are some more ideas:

• Something old: your mother's wedding gown, your grandmother's wedding veil, or a piece of fabric from a family gown or veil sewn into your gown or wrapped around your bouquet, heirloom headpiece or handkerchief, vintage buttons sewn onto your gown, an heirloom engagement or wedding ring, antique or heirloom earrings, bracelet, or necklace, a vintage purse, antique lace tied around your bouquet, a locket with photos or your parents or grandparents, a family rosary, antique hair comb, pin, or barrette.
  
• Something new: your new gown, veil, or tiara, new shoes, new jewelry, new lingerie, new lipstick or eye shadow, a new silk shawl, a new penny minted in the year of your wedding, or freshly picked flowers for your bouquet.
  
• Something borrowed: jewelry- earrings, necklace, bracelet, or a brooch, a hair comb,
  a purse, an elegant wrap, a veil, gown, or headpiece. (For extra luck, borrow from a friend or a relative who is happily married!)
  
• Something blue: a blue garter, blue jewelry- bracelet, ring, necklace, brooch, earrings, anklet, or toe ring with sapphires, blue topaz, aquamarine, or Swarovski crystals, blue flowers in your bouquet or blue accents on your bouquet such as blue ribbons or jewelry, a blue sash for your gown, blue shoes, blue lingerie, tiny blue flowers on your veil or blue embroidered monogram on your gown or a handkerchief, blue toe nail polish, or blue rhinestones on the bottom of your wedding shoes!

Good luck!
