Something Old, Something New,
Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Something Old

Represents the link with the bride's family and the past, a popular choice is a piece of antique jewellery

Something New

Represents good fortune and success in the brides new life, often the wedding gown is chosen as the new item

Something Borrowed

Serves to remind the bride that friends and family will be there for her when help is needed. The borrowed item could be a lovely lace handkerchief.

Something Blue

Is the symbol of faithfulness and loyalty, often the blue garter.

And a sixpence in her shoe

This is to wish the bride wealth (any silver coin)
