How about for blue a Guardian Angel crystal pin? I bought one for my friend when I was her BM and we pinned it to the inside of her dress and she loved it and is going to pass it on to her daughter (my god daughter) on her wedding day
CommentAuthormummy2Olivia_Lisa

CommentAuthorJilly17
I have seen them on bay of E but have also seen them in card shops. Actually they would make nice gifts too as and you can get them for bridesmaids, mother of bride etc etc ....now there's an idea! ha ha
CommentAuthorJilly17
just found this which explains the whole thing: Something old is usually something belonging to a grandparent or parent and shows the continuity of 'family' - although the bride is leaving her old family behind she is showing she will still remember them. Something new represents the new life the bride is entering and the hope for success and good fortune. Something borrowed should be something borrowed from a family member or an already happy bride and is supposed to pass on good luck. The item must be given back or bad luck will follow. Something Blue - blue is a sign of fidelity and constancy. The custom of wearing a blue ribbon in a bride's hair began in ancient Israel and symbolised fidelity. Silver Sixpence in her shoe. A silver sixpence is considered a lucky charm and in olden times silver was ascribed with healing powers. It is often interpreted as bringing wealth to the newly weds.

Old - My nan's dress! New- Shoes Borrowed - possibly tiara or veil or both Blue - Knickers!
And I have my sixpence left to me by my grandad, who sadly passed away when i was fairly young, but i've hung onto this sixpence since (for about the last 10 years!), having had no idea why until this christmas, when i read the old, new, borrowed, blue poem and realised that he had given me enough money to get married! He probably didn't intend it that way, but i'm sure he'd be really pleased!

Getting really stressed and excited now
CommentAuthorMrsd
Haha Ricky i like your style! old-i guess thats me (seriously have nothing tho) new - Dress borrowed- mums pearl earrings blue-garter
CommentAuthorHappilymarried Mrs G
Old: mums engagement ring which never comes off new: dress / shoes / tiara etc borrowed: veil Blue: Undecided between garter ( i want a personalised on in our colour scheme) or a sixpence charm that clips on to garter. Or a blue ribbon emroidered with my mums name and sewn into my dress (so i carry her with me close to my heart) or the stones for the soles of my shoes......so many options. Though sentimentally i like the ribbon in dress idea.
CommentAuthorJilly17
The ribbon with your mums name sounds so lovely blondmumma!
CommentAuthorHappilymarried Mrs G
thats what im thinking ryhope. Thats looking to be what i lean towards. Tbh the only thing worrying me is the chance of relatives asking my old new borrowed blue and me having to try and explain it without crying on my big day (which lets face it is going to be hard enough not to cry anyway).... though i could always be vague in my answer or lie :s
CommentAuthorJilly17
aw yes, I can understand that. You could always have 2 blue things and keep the ribbon between just you and h2b?
CommentAuthorHappilymarried Mrs G
yeah i guess so..... might still go for the stones on my shoes or the sixpence charm as well then lol
CommentAuthorJilly17
I would have the whole lot...belts and braces and all that! ha ha. I love the stickers on the shoe but as I cant kneel down in Church no one will see them....actually that could be a great photo opportunity..the bride sitting with her feet sticking straight out before the wedding to show her I do stickers...have never seen it before either!....now there is an idea!
