I'm gonna use my flower girl shoes from my cousins wedding a few years ago. I'll hopefully be using them within the next 5 years so they are a bit old

I was unsure on something old or borrowed for a while and went through my mums and some of my nannies jewellery but nothing was quite right. Then out of no where my 'mother in law to be' offered for me to borrow her mothers ring. It was perfect and was old and borrowed!

I wore the pearls my grandad (who passed away shortly before our wedding) gave to my grandma for their wedding in the 1950s. It was a lovely touch to be able to have my ' something old' be something so precious and sentimental to my family :-)
