    what are you having?
    i haddnt really thought of it, but my MIL yesterday said she would like me to try on her Tiara and Veil - i thought "oh god :S" because i cannot say no!!!! lol one of my many flaws! lol so i thought i was gonna end up with a really old fashioned Veil and Tiara :S
    well i tried em on and awwwwwww i loved em!!! the Veil does need a good wash n iron! lol but it is beautiful! and the Tiara is really delicate gold with lil pearls on - nothin ott - exactly what i wanted!! :D
    so i have my something borrowed!!! :D
    and she said i can borrow her jewelry - which was her nanas, then her mums, then hers - and that too is just a very simple, delicate pearl necklace, and lil pearl and diamond earrings - so i have something old too!! :D
    my colours are Ivry and brown, with hints of gold - so these will go wont they??

    I have no clue yet - I was thinking about this the other day. Obv new is easy peasy, but old, borrowed and blue is gonna be more tricky. Will probably go with the easiest for blue - the garter, and may borrow some jewellery off Mum for old and borrowed....

    An idea for something blue if you are struggling for ideas is to have a piece of blue thread sewn into the inside of your dress. You could also go as far as having the name of someone you have lost eg a grandparents name, which you want to keep close to you on the day stitched into the hem of your dress. xx

    My engagement ring has sapphire as the main stone, so that's my blue!! Lots of things will be new - although my friend has offered to make my jewelery - so need the old and the borrowed and a sixpence from somewhere - any ideas on where to get one?

    It is a great idea! I love it and think I will use it too. It means you get to keep them in your heart on your special day but its not something that will upset other people.

    Not really thought about this. I'm liking the idea of names being sewn into the dress, might have to do that! My new will be dress, old i think will be my grandma's charm bracelet, not sure about borrowed or blue but i have plenty of time to figure it out! :-)

    My old is the ring pouch my mum and dad used at their wedding (sewing it onto my bouquet so I can put my engagement ring in it during the service)
    new = dress, tiara, veil
    borrowed = not sure yet
    blue = little bow on my garter

    Need to think of something to borrow, although my old item could count too i guess
