It is considered to be simpler to include something old, say your grandmother's necklace, something new could be your wedding dress or new shoes, something borrowed could be a friend or relative's earrings! But when it comes to something blue, the ideas are limitless! Include a small blue heart from a loved one's shirt, have your bridesmaids write cute notes on the bottom of your shoes in blue ink or even use delicate blue hair accessories for that added pop of color!
This wedding tradition came from an Old English rhyme "Something olde, something new, something borrowed, something blue, a sixpence in your shoe" and are considered to be good luck charms when the bride wears or carries these items with her on her wedding day.
Something old represents continuity; something new offers optimism for
the future; something borrowed symbolizes borrowed happiness from perhaps a loved one or friend; something
blue stands for purity, love, and fidelity; and a sixpence in your shoe
is a wish for good fortune and prosperity which is usually not included in wedding talk.
