    and will you be wearing a silver sixpence in your shoe? Would love to know what you are doing for this but also may give me some inspiration as the only thing I have for this up to now is a blue/white garter and my dads silver sixpence. xx

    My veil is borrowed.. I guess my dress will be new.... other than that I have no idea as I want to have a green garter and not a blue one... I've bought the blue "i do" stickers for my shoes but I'm not 100% sure I'll be using them yet....

    I might see if I can get a broach from my late grandmother to attach to my flowers as my something old...???

    I wont be doing the Sixpence thing...

    Have something old - H2B lol (well, hes 9 months older than me so that still counts!), something new is the dress, something borrowed will be my eldest daughters perfume (not paying £42 a bottle just so I can have a quick squirt on the day!), something blue is the little tiny blue bow on the inside of my garter. Got an old sixpence, not sure about putting it in my shoe though! Might get irritated by it moving around, might pop an insole on top of it!

    my somthing old will be a dried red rose from my first boyfriend in my boquet; you wont really see it, cause its totally against the colour scheme, but i think its important to recognise that Rich wasn't the first guy that i [thought i] loved
    my somthing new will be my dress and shoes
    my somthing borrowed will be my mummy's posh hair conditioner [its nearly £50 for a tiny bottle, and im not doing that]
    my somthing blue will be a blue anklet i'm going to wear under my dress, or maybe get blue ribbons on my shoes? somthing along the lines of hidden out of the way

    i've never heard of a sixpence in youyr shoe; whats that all about?? <3 xx

    Something new - my dress
    Something borrowed - haven't a clue
    Something blue - am looking at some blue topaz earrings at the moment, although I like the blue sparkly nail varnish idea

    I couldn't wear a sixpence in my shoe, it would do my head in!

    a while ago i saw a garter that had a little pocket stitched in so the sixpence could be on the garter instead of in your shoe .
    thought that was a cool idea as im probably going to go with stappy shoes so a sixpence wont really work in my shoes =-)
