Something old,Something new,Something borrowed,Something blue. We have all heard this wedding rhyme, but what is the meaning behind this tradition? It is an old English tradition that has transformed over the years - hence many brides now leave out the last line "and a silver sixpence in your shoe". Let's take a look back into the meaning behind this rhyme and see why it all began... Something Old - This item is to represent the continuity of the brides past and moving into the future. Every bride starts a new beginning and family on her wedding day and this "Something Old" is to ensure the bride does not forget where she has come from. Perhaps you might want to carry a vintage purse to hold all of your essentials on your wedding day. Here is one we love:  Picture by Advantage Bridal Something New - This item represents optimism and hope for the bride's future and the new life she bride will share with her groom. This can be your wedding dress, new shoes or even wedding lingerie. Something Borrowed - This represents borrowed happiness from a woman whose marriage the bride admires. This something borrowed is to ensure happiness will carry over to the new bride. Something Blue - Symbolizes love, good fortune and fidelity. This can be incorporated into your wedding day with a blue garter, blue jewelry, a blue ribbon around your bouquet or even a special blue embroidered label for your wedding dress. We love this one from Etsy.com - Monde Design:  Whatever pieces old, new, borrowed and blue you decide to incorporate into your wedding day, make sure you have fun with this tradition!
