Discovered one when I lived in Manchester for a couple of years and I was hooked! It's good fun just going to look. Where else can you buy garden furniture, discount biscuits and ajax. Lol.

CommentAuthorladyannwyn
i'd never heard ofh the sixpence bit, cvan i tape on to the underside of my sole, like where the heal meets my foot??? cos i dont want to slip and it wouldn't stay in my shoe!!! lol
CommentAuthorMrsCaitiClarke
I don't want to have to put the sixpence in my shoe!!! Surely it would be really uncomfortable?! My mom had never heard of that tradition either - I think she thinks I've made it up. Lol.

I hadn't heard of the sixpence either until I saw it on TV, can't remember the show but the bride's mum stitched a sixpence into the bride's garter :) But I won't be having a garter so that rules that one out!
I haven't tried it out but I am planning on having the six pence in my shoe for the actual ceremony and then take it out agsin. If it's really uncomfortable or distracting I won't do it.
It’s so great to find that one special person

CommentAuthormadhen
Will you just pop it in your shoe loose or maybe stitch it to one side so it doesn't move around? Seems to be it would be uncomfortable!
CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy
Can't stitch it on, my shoes are jelly shoes :-)

Sijen I just wanted him to have something to open on the day that let him know how much I was thinking of him. I wanted it to be "bridal" and so I thought I could do him his own version of what I'm having :). X

CommentAuthorSijen
Nules what is your colour scheme? Maybe wear sapphire earrings, bracelet with a blue charm or even blue edged handkerchief? My colour scheme is blue so I'm ok on that one.
Sorted my borrowed today too, my mum is going to loan me her swarovski bangle that we bought her for her 50th birthday ( a 'few' years ago lol)

Old...........my late mums watch....love it cos it looks really vintage, and part of mum will be with me, walking down the aisle. new..........dress and shoes etc borrowed....borrowed some of the brooches for my brooch bouquet from my sister.... blue..........sapphire ring on my right hand
I can resist anything but temptation
CommentAuthorMrs Davro
I had a thought the other day. Someone mentioned it was bad luck to try on your completed outfit before the big day, but how many people wear their stockings and garter when trying on dress? I certainly won't be.
CommentAuthorfiona
Can one item be used for two things? I am borrowing my mil's pearl necklace so it could be something old and something borrowed.
CommentAuthorKatya
My somethings: old/ borrowed: I'm thinking of asking to borrow my nans temple sealing ring...(i was taken on a trip to the mormon temple as a kid and told my grandad secretly to marry nanny in the temple, a few weeks later he did just that and when she passes that ring becomes mine)
New: just about every thing i will be wearing
Blue: a singular blue rose incorporated into my bouquet
Find out who you are & do it on purpose!
CommentAuthorfiona
thats a lovely story about the ring Katya.
CommentAuthornules77
Thanks for the advice. Cracked it! Something old is a hatpin of my Gran's that my grandad bought her. Going to pin it into the bouquet handle. Something new is my dress. Borrowed is my sister in laws tiara. Something blue..... I'm not a girly girl and don't wear proper shoes so I am having some all star baseball boots custom made in my wedding colours ( ivory and purple) so I can wear them again. I am having Mrs Moo embroidered down the side in blue. ( my married name will be Morgan, but I have always called H2B Mr Moo) Thoughts? Sounds a bit rubbish, but looks amazing! Will post a pic x

CommentAuthormadhen
Sounds good to me! Love ideas that are a bit different :)
CommentAuthorLittleMissBossy
I like your idea Nules.
After months opening this thread I think I have also found my last thing the something borrowed. My mum is curreny here in the UK for a visit and brought me a medal pin from my great granddad and a brooch and scarf pin from my great grand mother - one of these will be my something borrowed.

Its my mothers engagement ring, but she doesnt wear it as my parents are divorced, she said i could have had for mine but im not sure if i could have worn it every day as its raised up before you get to the stones so it would catch on everything!

CommentAuthorHayleyT
We have decided that we want to do our Old, new, borrowed, blue throught the songs we are having for signing of the register and walking out after being married.
Walking in to Elton John- Your Song
Old: Madness- it must be love (i wanted house of fun but was told it was not appropriate!!) New: Ed Sheeran- lego house Borrowed: Eva Cassidy- Songbird (my mum and step dads song) Blue: this one we are a bit stuck on, we were thinking Eiffel 65- Blue just to add a bit of humour or something by Blue.
CommentAuthorOWB
Behind Blue Eyes, by Limp Bizkit is one of my favourite songs! Not really suitable for a wedding though.

My old is probably going to be my bra as its one that sticks to your boobs and is expensive so im not buying another one unnecessarily! My new will be numerous things as ill be wearing pretty much all new things (except the bra!) My borrowed is going to be my mums diamante watch as its lovely and delicate and i have a blue garter but i may change this as i dont really want to wear one! I might buy a cheap blue ring or paint my toe nails blue lol
CommentAuthorXx Lou xX
Something old - not sure yet (thinking a diamonte brooch off our grandma's & adding them to me somewhere) Something new - my dress, shoes, hairpiece Something borrowed - my veil Something blue - Detail on shoe xx
CommentAuthorMrs brown - 19/08/12

CommentAuthorOWB
That's really lovely of here. Maybe you could give the shawl back afterwards, then it would be your borrowed too x

Something old: My grandmas wedding ring... will that count seeing as I won't be wearing it straight away? I'll have my charm bracelet as back up just in case lol, that's 30 years old <_< Something New: Me new hubby :D No, really, my dress! Something Borrowed: My mums ear rings and possibly a necklace... im not an accessory person, so may wear the ear rings only Something Blue: My shoes and my garter!
And Ive even got a sixpence, woop!
Do the men follow this tradition or is it just for the girls?
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey

CommentAuthorMrs T. 2 Be
Was just thinking about my ONBB and found this discussion. I only started to think about it because my mum mentioned it the other day to me.
Old: Could my engagement ring count? otherwise I am struggling. New: Dress, shoes, tiara, veil ...... pretty much everything lol. Borrowed: No idea - perhaps I could borrow a hair clip or something? Blue: Was thinking of having pale blue underwear.
